what made you choose the Sonore ultradigital over others ? Sonore products are ok but never sound bigger in my setup. For small/desktop system, they might be very good but not if you have a bigger one. The Singxer, AudioGD, Gustard, Denafrips has ...

as for the standard or the lack of it, it has evolved into couple different ones - PS Audio, Rockna, Gustard. Most manufacturers are following PS audio and some, like Denafrips has configurable pins assignments. Funny thing I still remember when ...

Mojo Audio is absolutely correct. I2S is primarily meant for chip-to-chip connection which typically is few cm. The longer the traces the more it suffers signal integrity. However, I think the external connection that most are using with audio DDC...

@lordmelton if you really want to take the i2s over hdmi to its maximum level, take a look the Wireworld platinum series hdmi cables. Always have the shortest run possible from the DDC to the DAC. The i2s is the native interface to most dac chip (...

@debjit_g Totally agree on the usb galvanic isolation. What amazes me is so many of these off the shelf servers/streamers use usb off motherboards! How do they have the nerve to charge these prices for crap usb outputs, this is what gives usb bad...

The improvements on i2s over usb really depends on two things: 1. DAC's usb implementation - if they have proper galvanic isolation, the chances are the difference will be minuscule, if any. 2. How clean or noisy your music server/streamer usb o...

@toetapaudio NA is near to you and they have a 30 days hassle free in-home audition. I am using their Eno series streaming filter/cable, along with their Eno usb to great effect.

My current favorite is NE Eno series. They bettered the Sablon in my system. The NE has a new reference model Muon which is more costly but I have not heard it.

anyone compared the Silver dart to the Hijiri Nagomi ? I am in the process of overhauling my power cords and hence wondering if someone could share some details.  
Zavfino
yes, in the US. I had sent emails to both sales and info@zavfino.com.

This is an old thread but I am curious if Zavfino is still in business ? I sent two mails but nothing in return. Anybody communicated with them recently ?

Just saw some photos of the show. It looks the Cube’s were paired with Nelson’s one off 2000 JFETS 20 watts amp. Scroll down to see some pictures of the amp...pretty unique looking.   https://www.audioshark.org/axpona-138/axpona-2022-photos-2096...

Jon (Refined Audio US distributor) usually showcase them with Pass xp22/xp12 preamp and either FirstWatt SIT or Pass xa25. He is a dealer for Pass as well. I am guessing the Lampi is the Golden Gate model.

That is coming. There are many copies of FM Acoustics Pre and Power amps available at different price ranges. I’ve personally heard $2k copies and they sound really good, better than they should. Even the ICBs have been copied exactly. FM Acousti...

All these Chinese brands are competing with each other in similar price range. There sounds will be in the similar ballpark, some will do this better, others will do something else better. Its just a matter of personal taste and system synergy. Wi...
