| Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator So the Lumin sounds better with the fiber in than with the copper? | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @stuartk that’s cool. Just enjoy the music and take your time in solving this puzzle. When you borrow a dac and a transport you will most likely figure out where the root cause is. It’s odd that the Simaudio transport with your Aqua DAC didn’t hav... | |
| When to choice XLR over RCA ICs. @atmasphere I have Pass Labs XP22 preamplifier and X260.8 mono amps and I can hear the difference between XLR interconnects. I’ve tried a few at various price points. The difference was enough to choose one set over another | |
| Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator @ozzy curious if you had ever tried copper to fiber media converters from amazon in place of your etherregen A Pair of 1.25G/s Bidi Gigabit Multi-Mode Fiber Ethernet Media Converter with 2PCS Bidi SFP LC Dual Transceiver Module Included, 10/100/1... | |
| Upgrade: Terminator Plus or PGM156 Without a doubt the biggest upgrade will be the components or speakers and not the PSM156 power conditioner. Run a dedicated line if possible (cheaper than puritan). Invest in good quality interconnects, speaker cables, power cords and outlets aft... | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @stuartk I had the PSM-156 and sold it. You can definitely try the Puritan. I highly doubt it’s your problem though. If you’re determined to make it work I would think that both the transport and the dac have to be looked at as a pairing or indivi... | |
| Furutech FP-314Ag-II vs FP-S022N FP-S032n is a nice power cord. I use it on my dac but tried it on the amplifier and it performed just fine. | |
| Better DAC then DA1 module in McIntosh C49 without braking the bank. Ah my bad missed the balanced requirement. Add Bryston BDA3 to the list. Straight DAC no preamp no headphone out. | |
| Better DAC then DA1 module in McIntosh C49 without braking the bank. Chord Qutest, Benchmark DAC 3. | |
| Hegel H390 DAC I never heard any difference in my system that was influenced by how close to each other the cables are or their geometric orientation in relation to each other. Never have I heard even a slightest difference in sound between a speaker cable that ... | |
| High End CD Player / Transport - BLUE Anodized Chassis? - 2000's? - unsolved mystery? Acoustic Arts? | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @stuartk so you’ve pretty much narrowed it down to DAC. I wouldn’t worry about silver in digital cable. It won’t impact the sound the same way the silver in analog cables would. My conclusion is your dac/amp/speakers combination is not very synerg... | |
| Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer? One other absolutely free way to stream with h590 is mconnect. Streamer not required. Mconnect with Hegel | |
| Hegel H390 DAC If the transport is the root cause of the sibilance, you have to try a few things. 1. get at least 200hrs of play time on the Jays. Not just on time but playing and passing the signal thru 2. try different digital cables. Doesn’t have to be expe... | |
| Hegel H390 DAC Rule out the transport next. Connect your old dvd player to dac via coax or toslink. If sibilance persists, it’s the dac. Also, could be a recording. Is it every disc you play that you notice this? Or just certain disc(s). What are the songs? |
