| Border Patrol DAC tube change Bonjour Mmhifi, Just to know : Could you tell me if the stock ez80 tube was very old? Just wondering if age could be a factor. PS Before owning the BP, I did not understand why some are saying that tone is more important than details / the last ... | |
| Borderpatrol Dac SE BP Se-i here. A few comments : 1) 100 to 150 hours (break-in) is a must (it is horrible out the box) 2) A good power cable is very important (mostly to address the bass issue) 3) Ditto for a good usb cable The BP doesn’t sound impressive ... | |

| Why is everyone so down on MQA? Personally, I do not really care if the MQA concept is good or not, I just want to have the best listening experience possible. Therefore, here's my thoughts on MQA (I have a non-MQA Border Patrol Se-i Dac and my Zen Stream / S Booster combo is ... | |
| Tidal Music I know that Qobuz sign an agreement with QUB music, a local streaming service who is using Qobuz files (but in MP3 format only). Therefore I suspect we won't see Qobuz in Canada for a while. Hope I am wrong... | |
| Tidal Music Unfortunately, Qobuz is not available in Canada. I tried using Qobuz with a U.S. address but it did not work (they know you are in a non-supported country). Therefore, I have to live with Tidal, Tidal Connect being better than Apple Music AirPlay. | |
| Tidal Music I do not have a MQA dac and for the last few days, I am comparing Tidal hifi to hifi+(we do not have Qobuz in Canada). Here's my preliminary findings : MQA : Music seems more dense. Details are more evident. More spectacular. Hifi : Less in you... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz I am using a 12v SBooster with my ZS. I know, it does not make sense because the SBooster costs almost as much as the ZS, I told my dealer it does not make sense when he suggested it, then he connects the SBooster to the ZS…. and after 30s, I boug... | |
| Zen Stream - How to limit Qobuz streaming to 96Khz Thanks for the answer Soix. This is exactly what I was looking for (by the way, I already have the MConnect HD version). I noted that you also use the Zen Stream. Just to let you know that the ZS responds VERY well to a better power supply (I had... | |
| IFI DIABLO Sorry in English now : I was at Montreal Audiofest yesterday (looking for a +-$3000 Dac) and in the Lemay Audio room, they are using an IFi Diablo Dac with their $200,000+ system. When I asked them why, they told me exactly the same thing Laurier ... | |
| IFI DIABLO Bonjour Laurier, As-tu fait le test du Diablo? Hier j'étais au salon Audiofest de Montréal (à la recherche d'un bon Dac de +-$3000) et dans la salle de Lemay Audio, le Dac utilisé avec leur système à $200,000+ était justement le Diablo. Surpris, j... |
