| Innuos Zen Mini Mk II with an Ayre Codex Try to insert an Intona Isolator via USB. Alternatively an Uptone IsoRegen will likely solve the issue. The problem most likely relates to timing synchronisation of the USB data stream | |
| Which Road? At your budget get an Accuphase Integrated | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict Tweaks for little money that work:Wrapping DAC and Streamer in EFI/RFI clothUsing Black Ravioli pads under source componentsUsing Caig Deoxit or similar on all signal and power contactsReplacing spades or other high mass speaker cable terminations... | |
| USB cable Oyaide Continental 5S or Intona basic cable. Keep it short, though! | |

| If you hopped into your time machine and brought back audio gear- what would it be? Way back in the ‘80s I upgraded from an Accuphase E202 to a C200/P300 combo. I wish I’d have kept all three. Pound for pound ( and there were lots of them) the best made equipment I have ever owned. I haven’t found anything remotely made to the sa... | |
| preamp and dac volume Agree with George,just ditch the Pre and live happy ever after. If you can find some Bybee Golden Goddess RCA‘s use those on the power amp. | |
| Building new system starting with power amp. What would you choose ? Wavac EC300b | |
| Transformer coupled outputs/inputs in preamplifiers. Best case in point are Wavac pre- and power amps: all transformer coupled with nary a capacitor in sight. Sheer audiophile bliss, conveying an immediacy and colour saturation that in my estimation hasn‘t been bettered. | |
| Help setting up nework for Zenith mk3 arriving next week I run a 12in Intona Reference between the Intona Isolator and the DAC, it made a substantial difference to a pure silver cable I used before. The Isolator made an equally big difference, though. I agree with working the ethernet side of things but... | |
| Digital Cable (again). Do yourself a favour and try Acoustic Revive DSIX. Haven‘t found anything that comes close. | |
| Help setting up nework for Zenith mk3 arriving next week @sdl4,do try the Intona Isolator if you are trying to improve your usb conection. Also: keep your USB cables as short as possible | |
| Best Cable Option: Streamer to DAC 99% of the back catalogue is redbook. Presently the best connection is mainly dependent on the quality of the interface implementation between streamer and DAC. Increasingly, the engineers spend their efforts predominantly on USB. There are howeve... | |
| Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions? @bifwynne I am surprised that you have no benefit from upsampling. Have you tried inserting an Insulator into your USB connection? Does your DAC have a BNC input for a master clock? Both of these might help in making it more audible. | |
