| Any thoughts on Denafrips Terminator Plus I had Termi and Plus side by side. Ran both with a Gaia. Clocks connected on plus. I found the plus was slightly more full sounding, maybe, just maybe, ever so slightly “colored” for my taste compared to the Termi. I also found an almost indiscern... | |
| High Frequency Oscillation hurt resistors in Magico A5 crossovers Can’t find specific capacitance per foot measurements. Not familiar with the design or layout of your cables. Generally speaking, flat layouts with “positive” and “negative” leads in close proximity increases capacitance. The greater the surface a... | |
| High Frequency Oscillation hurt resistors in Magico A5 crossovers What kind of speaker cables are you using? Mega capacitance cables can cause high frequency oscillations with some amplifiers. Even more likely if you biwire. HF Oscillations are self-sustaining with ever increasing level once started due to the s... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Termi vs Plus. I saw Steve Guttenberg’s video review after I had decided to stay with the standard. He sums up my thoughts perfectly! That’s why he is a professional reviewer and I’m not! | |
| Holo Audio May DAC @73max, how many hours on both? With such a close sound and the Plus not handling delicacy as well as the standard, sounds like just a break-in thing. When I had a Termi, delicacy and final details is what took the time... Not saying your observat... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Termi vs Termi +. Had them both in my house side-by-side. I so badly wanted to like the plus better. Latest model, oven controlled clock, has to be better right??? I kept the Termi. The plus was great, a slight, very slight, bit more “drive” b... | |
| JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies? ... won’t let me edit my post. Yeah, I know.…Toe in not tow. VR. One exception for me on first reflections is floor bounce. Thick rug with thick pad. Also, if you’re seating has a headrest, is leather or both(not ideal, but who doesn’t like to rec... | |
| JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies? A lot of good advice already. Those asking about running with a low power tube amp I am currently running a Luxman MQ-88uSE 25 watt per channel to good effect. Not ear bleeding loud, but far better than you might suspect. I also run the speakers o... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... No consternation! Just happened to be listening to my Termi when I saw your post. I had never thought of it in those terms. When I had it playing exact same track side by side with my vinyl rig the Termi beat it in both those areas so my curiosit... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... Hi jjss. Was just doing a comparison of Anne Bisson’s all analog Direct to Disk “Four Seasons in Jazz” record (If you have a good vinyl rig you need to buy this album. Limited run of 3000 and getting close to the end—can buy direct from her websit... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... On another subject. Even though clocking and buffering before the dac, only for the dac to redo it all, makes absolutely no sense to me, new GAIA on the way. | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... I’ve been listening several nights now while changing formats both upsampling and native. I haven’t been able to get the distortion to appear. Guess I’ll just enjoy the music for now and see what happens. I’m with the others on the DSD vs PCM. PCM... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... Thanks Luis. Not sure I would describe the effect the same but possibly the same parameters. A very distinct and loud distortion and hiss. Definitely goes away if I change content or restart the play. I actually was not aware of the firmware updat... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... are you by any chance using HQPlayer or the upsampling capabilities within Roon?I am streaming mostly through Qubus and Tidal. A few downloads also. I’ve been experimenting a lot with up sampling through Roon, sometimes I use it and sometimes I d... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... New D/D converters. I am toying with the idea of purchasing a GAIA to pair with my Terminator. (Have some other issues to resolve with the Terminator first, see above posts).Looking at the Terminator’s block diagram it appears the signal from I2S... |
