| Need help, what am I missing??? The whole point of Hermes is its OCXO and superior signal processing. I would set this up as follows if possible - Eversolo to Hermes via USB Elite to Hermes via Coax Brennan configured as NAS and accessed from Eversolo Hermes to Pontus via i2... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? Here’s a cheaper version… https://www.musicdirect.com/equipment/accessories/ifi-lan-ipurifier-pro/ | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @lalitk 👍 | |
| Qobuz will not work with new iphone +1 @ghdprentice Delete the app and reinstall. It will clear all data and you will start fresh. Should resolve the issue. | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? To add…the cheap fiber optic converters that are used by some in their systems add noise to the AC line with their SMPS, they produce EMI that affects other components and cables and this results in loss of dynamics, smearing and thin, artificial ... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @lalitk yes. couple of things for the benefit of clarifying the unit you’re referring to… Telegartner Opt Bridge 1000M Is an optical isolator. Copper in, all optical conversion takes place inside the unit, then copper out…please correct me if I’... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? Copper->Fiber->Copper didn’t work for me. Glassy and artificial in my system.

| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A @rauliruegas thank you. And yes I’m aware of Wilson Audio roots. And I did read that stereophile review and J.A’s measurements section. No speaker is perfect. | |
| In need of a preamp with a prominent display Not sure how big of a display you need. PS Audio has their BHK preamp on special for $3500 but it’s out of stock…may be worth waiting. Audio Research LS28 is another option but it’s most likely more expensive than $3500 on a used market. Solid s... | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp @signaforce awesome news! Let it cook for two weeks and it should get even better. | |
| Shrink Totem 1's? | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @mtbiker29 sounds like you were comparing these units as full featured using their DACs. And all three DACs sounded more or less the same with you quantifying about 1% difference between the three? Can you even hear a 1% difference? I know I can’... | |
| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? Cool…everything should work just fine…good luck! And DH Labs makes great cables. You should be set | |
| Shrink Totem 1's? @skolbrother I recommend cutting the front of the speakers off. If you cut the back the speakers will not have binding posts anymore and you will not be able to connect them. | |
| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? Just don’t play the brown note… |
