| The Best Preamp is no Preamp? @ozzy62, fully agreed: twenty years ago I replaced a Graaf 13.5B with a simple Modsquad passive feeding a Graff GM20. The phono stage was a Zyx Artisan and digital was a then state of the art dac. Ever since I have gone either passive or direct f... | |
| Vote Your Ranking -If you have an opinion on this digital subject Errors from Cd direct can be corrected by ripping. So after that the question becomes whether a streamer streams better from Qobus/Tidal rather than from a linked hard disc. That in turn is a function of the cables and spinner used in ripping vs. ... | |
| The Best Preamp is no Preamp? Technically speaking output from Dacs doesn‘t need further amplification: unless you have a weird input impedance for your power amp all that‘s required is a good attenuator. If your dac possesses a stepped relay attenuator rather than a digital b... | |
| Anyone using a LAN isolator? I have had it on the Etherregen directly in front of the server: positive but less so | |
| Anyone using a LAN isolator? @Lalitk On my Innos Zenith Mk3 it increases smoothness and attack, YMMV | |
| Anyone using a LAN isolator? …and having an Acoustic Revive RLT1 in a spare ethernet port on the streamer helps as well | |
| Anyone using a LAN isolator? EMO en-70 HD Isolator plus DX Engineering DXE Iso Plus filter to start, ultimately you will likely end up with an Etherregen. The latter benefits significantly from an Ocxo clock and LPSU. For further improvements consider a good Ocxo clocked swit... | |
| German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted I have been a happy Duevel Bella Luna owner for over 20 years. Exact positioning is key to getting accurate soundstage and sizing. Duevels are happily driven by SETs ( I use a Wavac Ec300b with 10W per channel), German Physics is substantially mor... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... I seriously question the additional conversion for runs under 6-8m. A well shielded cat8 ethernet cable is the better solution in that case, even before discussing the quality of PSUs needed for the convertera. The Etherregen in combination with a... | |
| Clocking: again! I cannot comment on your specific setup but would advise against your suggested approach: not only will even minute differences in the impedance of the connecting cables create divergences in the clock signal transmission but the method chosen for... | |
| A Second Noise Floor? Better grounding when injected intravenously. (Quite literally) | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... Unlike analogue, where any additional device will affect the sound through changing capacitance and impedance effects on the transmitted signal, the signal path of digital requires only avoidance of noise incursion and maintenance of clock accurac... | |
| Check this out. @yuviarora, +1 on the Mad Scientist: his secret solution works! | |

| Check this out. @oldhvymec, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 That surely is a world class old f**t comment🤣🤣🤣 |
