| LAIV Harmony I agree with @sns. I actually have a network switch with SFP, so I run: Network Switch/SFP/Finisar Transceiver > Optical Fiber > Sonore Optical Module Deluxe > Ethernet > Sonore Micro Rendu > USB > LAiV Harmony DAC Optical iso... | |
| Current quality of Rune I’ve been into computer based audio for over 15 years. I’ve tried pretty much all the software during that time; Pure Music (Channel D), Audirvana, JRiver, Bit Perfect, Roon, and probably others that I’ve since forgotten. Based on my experiences,... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II 1.4 Firmware @feckmo Here's a link to the firmware update page on the Denafrips website: https://www.denafrips.com/firmware-update-usb | |
| Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui @cleeds I would hope that you’re capable of grasping the basic concept of staying on topic and not shilling product in threads that don't request that type of input. | |
| The Great DAC Mystery @shadorne I've always felt that software upsampling yields better results (to my ears at least) than hardware upsampling. I've had a number of DSD DACs (PS Audio--I was a beta tester for the original PerfectWave, EMM Labs, Playback Designs) in m... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @sns, by "stellar" I meant that LAiV's USB implementation, being galvanically isolated, is probably as good an implementation as can be found. I tried an iFi iPurifier 3 in the chain (Roon core > USB > LAiV) just for grins, and there was no ... | |
| First impressions of new MH-DA006, Musetec flagship @SNS I have the LAiV and I can tell you that their USB implementation is stellar. I purchased a Gustard U18 in order to try the I2S input on the Harmony, and there was no difference between the I2S and USB inputs. I would love to see a comparison... | |

| Fiber to my Etherregen… Sonore OM or generic? I have the ability to connect my system in two ways. Opinions on whether one will sound better than the other? 1) Network switch with integral SFP port > Fiber > Sonore Optical Rendu 2) Network switch > copper ethernet > Sonore Optic... | |
| Herron M1-1A monobocks, what do you think? Herron equipment is outstanding. The diligence Keith puts into his work is second to none. | |
| Grover Huffman GH RCA ZX+ cables vs... Long time fan of Grover's cables here. Not sure what marketing Bravado Sabai is referring to. . .Grover does zero marketing that I'm aware of. Just a lot of satisfied ears touting their praise. | |
| recommended phono preamp for $2500? What cartridge are you using? | |
| Salk vs Daedalus Speakers I owned Salk SS10s, and now own Daedalus Ulysses (version 1).I would describe the difference between the 2 as the difference between "Hi-Fi" and "Musical". Both speakers will reveal all that's on the recording, but to my ears, the Ulysses are more... | |
| Calling BMC MCCI owners I have the MCCI and run a Van Den Hul Frog Gold. I think it sounds great. Of course, the lower the internal impedance of a cartridge, the better the MCCI will sound. | |
