| Are You a Swifty? As an audiophile who enjoys pop, yes, I enjoy her music and her tracks sound great on my system. | |
| Distorted 24-bit/192kHz PCM using iFi Zen One Signature DAC? I don't know about the Zen Stream, but to address my original post, iFi did eventually confirm that 24/192 is not supported on Toslink. They were gracious enough to compensate me for not being fully transparent in their product specifications. | |
| Distorted 24-bit/192kHz PCM using iFi Zen One Signature DAC? @erik_squires This DAC is definitely spec'ed to receive 24/192 over Toslink. I just finished troubleshooting the issue with iFi with no success, but as you mentioned, the Toslink standard wasn't originally designed to support 24/192. Hence I'm ... | |
| Next High End Bookshelf Upgrade - Marten Parker/Oscar Duo Owners Welcome My two cents, I sold my Marten Oscar Duos rather quickly as they were very boomy in my space (12x17x8 and 14x15x8). Mids and highs were not exciting as well but that may have been a consequence of the poor bass response. I have used three other ... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? @whipsaw Yes, my observations are anecdotal at this time and my statements were meant to reflect my personal experience only. I'm not following your logic. If a firmware update 100% corrects an underlying hardware problem, doesn't that hardwar... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? @stevebohnii I did get a sense that the sound improved on the Ares II with the new firmware (separation, imaging). Was that due to expectation bias, I cannot say. Unfortunately my sound memory is poor. | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? @whipsaw With respect to the topic of this post and the issue I personally experienced, the firmware appears to have corrected the problem. Thus logically, it was a software related issue. Now, regarding other aspects of the sound quality that... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? I have been playing my Pontus II with the new FPGA firmware update for about a week now and I can confirm that the random pops/ticks I was experiencing are now absent. This mirrors my experience with upgrading the firmware on my Ares II. So it s... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? I am happy to report, to my surprise to be honest, that the firmware update appears to have fixed the problem with my Ares II. I have listened to about ten hours of music since the update and have not heard any pops/ticks. Although I feel it may... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? Pops/ticks are present on all recordings and they are not repeatable. The level does not appear to be correlated in my case. I have been provided new firmware by Vinshine. I will post my findings once that change is implemented and tested. | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? I suppose that it I were not focused on listening to the music I might not always notice the pops/ticks. In that sense, one might say they are soft. | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? I would not characterize the pops/ticks as soft or loud, just audible and at music levels. I have been communicating with Vincent in support. He had suggested I try USB but I relayed that I am currently not using USB. That was six days ago and ... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? Yes, I have this problem with pops & ticks on both my Ares II and Pontus II. I get a pop/tick concurring at an estimated frequency of 1-2 per hour of playback (it may be more frequent, possibly masked by music). Currently trying to resolve t... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? @falconquest What makes this a perfect song for you? It would be great to hear peoples perspectives on why a song resonates with them. Is it the lyrics, the music, the set of instrumentation chosen, the fidelity...? Cheers |
