| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary Well, 350 hours in, so figured I’d give another update. it sounds really good. The ‘continuity’ of the original Pontus (I hesitate to call it analogue) is in full effect with the Pontus 12th, but with significantly better extension up top, an... | |
| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary That's encouraging to hear you guys. Until has taken a turn for the better over the last couple days. The treble has been mellowing out and mids have become more full at about 200+ hours. Hoping the improvements continue. | |
| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary @fthompson251 yeah, I was geared up for a long break in. I figured on 300 hours, but what’s another week and a half? :) I’m at about 200 hours, and today it sounds really good. Better than yesterday. Bringing back memories of the original P... | |
| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary @christianb5s4 I'd love to try the aes input, or any other actually, but lack a player with those outputs. @ozzy62 I'm glad the DAC is moving in a consensual direction. I'd love to hear your thoughts on break in, if you'd care to share them. ... | |
| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary Just USB. I’ve been using the Ultrarendu. | |
| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary @fastcat95 , i've been hesitant to give listening impressions, because I can not guarantee what I'm hearing now, is what the unit will sound like tomorrow, and I wouldn't want to be irresponsible toward any potential buyers, and give out bad infor... | |
| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary About 7 dats in, and the break in process is everything it was reported to be. Through day 3-5, it swung from good to unlistenable. Day 6 it stared to sound consistent, and this morning, now day 7, it sounds very coherent, with a rich but open s... | |
| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary Impressions... I like OS with the slow filter. Phase button set to on. Nos sounds good, but less spacious. Balanced sounds considerably more open than single ended. | |
| Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary I've got it, letting it break in to eventually head to head it against a border patrol dac se, to see what I like better. I've only had it for 2 days, so take this with a grain of salt. 1st day, it's completely unlistenable. No extension in ... | |
| Aerial 5T impressions Would have replied a loong time ago, but I only noticed the thread today, and like someone else said...I've been so happy with them, that I stopped looking at speaker forums.I've owned the 5T's since March 2016. They are incredible. I previously... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Great to have you back Frank. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Just more fuse updates...The Black fuse in my Mccormack amp is a winner. Definitely sounds better one way than the other. Was playing Moby Dick for my dad the other day on my Aerial 5t speakers, and I think his exact words were "did you get a subw... | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? Picked up a McCormack DNA1 for 600 bucks. Still my favorite used audio purchase of all time. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Also, to Jond...Frank's a great guy. I don't like to relay what I speak about with other people, but he's exceptionally candid, and deeply caring. One of the best guys on the forum, or in life, really.Ciro, the other guy I met (goes by C_avila1)... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank,You take care of yourself, and rest up. You'll have a lot of well wishes and good music to keep you company.As much as I want those Rachmaninov concertos, I want to listen to music with you again even more.Take care of yourself.Jason |
