Upgrade from modified Bluesound Node 2i and linear power supply (LPS) ?
I installed the PD Creative power board mod with a MeanWell SMPS. After 120 hours burn-in it really sounds great. I’m thinking about getting the Sbooster LPS for additional improvements but am curious if anyone found significant improvement from upgrading to the Lumin U1 Mini, perhaps with Sbooster. Or other streamer.
Did you upgrade from a Node 2i power supply board upgrade with a LPS to something else?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FitnVQYWmgs&t=1125s if you want to deep-dive into linear power supplies for dacs, here is more info than you may want... 😁 my three comments on this reviewer - 1) i think his listening is often enhanced with thc, 2) he doesn’t do unsighted/blind testing, 3) his use of the rme adi2 as a test sub vehicle is a real weakness especially as he claims some of the lps portray a ’flat’ soundstage nonetheless here is a lot of grist for the mill |
you are entitled to your opinion but its just an opinion bro... lots more to the spdif vs usb debate than asynchronous transfer and jitter... jitter is but one form of digital noise, important as it is to manage... people own use a single dac at a time, and how that particular dac is engineered to receive what form and mode of digital feed - how clocking, galvanic isolation, aliasing etcetc determines what works best for that dac i have been through some 50 dacs with a number of streamers using different connections since 2020... specifics matter, generalities don’t here is a more complete explanation and discussion on the topic |
