Thanks @audiotroy for the benchmark article. I read it from beginning to end and was impressed with the complete explanation of the quirks of audio signals. Now, if i could only see some of this information listed on amps. or even DAC's. (I have the Denafrips Pontus II after upgrading from the Ares II.
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?

@txp1, I really enjoyed the Chord Qutest before I got a TT2. It’s a great little DAC! When it comes to streaming music, I’m all in on Roon so I got a Roon Nucleus to stream Tidal and Qobuz. I have it powered by a 19v Sbooster LPS that definitely helped to improve sound quality. I use an iPad Pro and an iPhone 13 Pro Max as remote controllers. |
I have the mobile fidelity board upgrade and lps.. And the streamer is as good or better than the linn klimax renew it replaced.... I first used a chord qutest but have since changed to a project rs2 dac (more for i2s to cd transport) Both great. The project dac can unpack MQA too. But to answer question seperate lps makes a huge difference.
