Any Eversolo Amp F10 owners out there ?
@oddiofyl That is unfortunate for sure. I’m aware that the McIntosh DAC1 module present in the 8950 and many of the preamps have their own USB connectivity issues or their own, so perhaps the issue is more complicated than it seems, especially if ... 
Any Eversolo Amp F10 owners out there ?
@oddiofyl That sounds like an unfortunate story. Just curious, what product specifically did you have issues with?  
Any Eversolo Amp F10 owners out there ?
I forgot to add that I am also using aftermarket power conditioners and cabling with the AMP-F10, which obviously helps it perform at a higher level over stock.   
Any Eversolo Amp F10 owners out there ?
I realize I am reviving this thread after a month, as I was spending time this morning looking for reviews on the AMP-F10.  I’ve been an Eversolo for a month now and have the A10 and F10 combo. As a dealer of many very high end brands, I will say... 
Dac with build-up streamer
The benefit of standalone streamers and DACs are largely dedicated power supplies and better isolation / less noise. Also, both technologies get refreshed at different intervals based on innovation in the market, so some people like keeping things... 
Ether Regen and mesh? Yes!
@wlutke Have you yet tried a very good linear power supply and aftermarket power cable on the EtherRegen? If not, and you have a spare one, it is worth trying. I found that adding a very high quality power cable that cost more than the EtherRegen ... 
Kimber Select KS-1136 XLRs vs. Synergistic Research Galileo SX XLRs
These are two very differently-voiced cables. The Kimber is more sparkly and detail oriented with a very exciting presence and crispness, whereas the Galileo SX will have a richer tone, more impactful bass, deliver impeccable breath and decay, an... 
Does anyone own Borresen Z2 Cryo Speakers
Cool - so does that mean you went forward with the Z2? If anything, you'll at least get a good trade in with Next Level if you want to step up in their line.  
DAC for Aurender N200
@hickamore It will depend on the cables you are using and your personal sonic preferences. As you likely know, SPDIF leverages the Aurender's internal clock and then gets reclocked by the DAC 200's internal clock, while the USB chain only uses the... 
Power Supply
FWIW, TAS just posted a review on one of the StromTank units yesterday. I haven’t yet read it myself but it’s on my list to get through today. You might find it interesting. https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/stromtank-s-2500-quantum-mkii-... 
Power Supply
Hey Jerry, Great comments. Yes, the StromTank converts the energy stored by its LFP4 batteries via inverter back to AC. The rated THD per their website is “<2%”. While that is greater than PS Audio’s <0.5% (0.1% is not guaranteed), I can e... 
DAC for Aurender N200
Many have already touted the synergy between the N200 and the T+A DAC 200 on this thread. I’ve spoken about the pair many times on this forum. In my opinion, they are simply wonderful together. Also, not only do they sound great, but given simila... 
Power Supply
I have. I own both a homebrew battery system and am also a StromTank dealer, as well as a Synergistic Research dealer. I started out with just a line conditioner on a dedicated line for a number of years, and I had progressed to the PowerCell SX ... 
Seeking New Amplification for My Graham LS5/5 Speakers
@mezzguy2 I recently heard the Graham LS5/5 at Philip O’Hanlon’s house a few weeks ago. We spent a number of hours with the speaker, and I was able to get acquainted with the sonic presentation of the speaker and the electronics. More recently, I ... 
Does anyone own Borresen Z2 Cryo Speakers
Hey @tntmcdade it’s been a while since we talked. Hope you’re having a great new year. I haven’t heard the Z2, but I’ve owned the Z3 and O2, and I’ve heard the X2.6 in multiple instances. Whether the X2.6 or Z2 is a better fit will come down to ...
