| Ether Regen and AfterDark Master Clock I run my Antelope Audio 10M Rubidium clock into the Etheregen into my InnuOS Zenith Mk3 into Antelope Audio Platinum DAC. Prior to buying the expensive Antelope clock I tried a $100 Chinese Ocxo clock which already provided a significant improveme... | |
| Antelope Zodiac DAC non DSD or DSD As you think bout further improvements: a better power supply than the wallwart makes a big difference. I had a Voltikus on both Gold and Platinum and now run off a Sean Jacobs DC 3/4. There are also good Chinese PSUs around $100-150 that will mak... | |

| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well If there ha been progress in DAC technology in the last few years, it hs been in the quality of clocking and the implementation of I2s or USB ports. The basic chips or ladder designs are maature. That said, significant progress in these 2 areas ha... | |
| Ethernet Cables For what it’s worth: once you have a half-decent cat8 cable, using EMO and DXE ISO-Plus filters has a substantially larger impact on SQ than better cables. | |
| Pimping your router And another addendum: changing from cat6 to cat8 ethernet cable brought significant benefits. Furthermore inserting a DXE ISO-Plus filter into the ethernet connection at the router and just in front of the streamer begets a whoa boost in clarity a... | |
| Fuses Other than wondering why people are having a caps discussion under a Fuses heading: I just replaced an aging Furutech blue fuse in my Wavac power amp with a new ACME Silver Cryo fuse. The increase in sparkle and impulse speed is astounding. Highly... |
