| DAC break-in question @mofimadness the DAC section is on and working. The analog stage is on but there will be no signal on the analog outs from the DAC if the amp the DAC is connected to is off. So that entire part of the dac takes few days to settle which is not a bi... | |
| DAC break-in question mofimadness 5,092 posts 02-20-2025 at 09:27am The amp does NOT need to be on to break-in the DAC. true for the DAC section. But you are not working the analog out. For that to happen you need to complete the circuit and that only tak... | |
| DAC break-in question I agree. In my experience if I hated how a cable or a component sounded right out of the gate no amount of break in could help. | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC And the cardas adapter fits just fine on the rca outs of this dac? Interesting to try it just to check. If the new adapter isn’t a tight fit I would reach out to the manufacturer and confirm i looked at a few pictures and I see different connector... | |
| Furutech PC's? Both shunyata outlets are fully broken in. Didn’t take long at all. Natural sound. No harshness. Nothing stands out. Really like how the system sounds. I haven’t gone back to furutech yet. | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC Interesting. Strange choice by the dac manufacturer | |
| DAC break-in question So the answer is pretty simple - running streamer into DAC (try to set up a playlist consisting of music with different bit rates and set it on repeat) without your amplifier on: you’re breaking in the digital in, power supply and the DAC section... | |
| Audience Frontrow USB vs Stealth Audio USB If you have a very warm sounding system the FrontRow might work for you. Some other cables to consider if your system is more or less balanced/neutral - Audience Studio One, AQ Diamond, Synergistic Atmosphere XS, Shunyata Alpha X. | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC Ah I missed that you damaged the AES output in your Jays. Guess adapter is the only option now | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @stuartk hope you recovered from those shots! That Synergistic cable should be very nice. I would evaluate with it. Sorry to hear the adapter doesn’t fit. But I’m not sure how it can possibly be too big. Does it not make the connection? Can you or... | |
| Audience Frontrow USB vs Stealth Audio USB Yes I did. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/audience-frontrow-usb-i-m-puzzled | |
| USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole Typical cable discussion. Rabbit holes and ass holes. | |
| Power cables and power conditioners @mbarrett635 one inexpensive cable that I like on amplifiers is Audience Forte F3. It is better than a 14awg stock cord and I’ve run Pass X260.8 mono amps with these power cords with great results. I would recommend trying this cable before you sp... | |
| Power cables and power conditioners @mbarrett635 the answer is very simple. Get a 10awg high quality power cord for the PP12 from a retailer that offers a good return policy. Audition it and decide for yourself. | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks @grislybutter never thought you were a troll but you just proved me wrong |
