| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? @whipsaw Honestly- if they’ve been dragging their feet on this issue for that long you made the right decision in getting rid of the Pontus. How is your La Scala working for you? | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? @fastcat95 In reading this I find it hard to believe that a reported issue like this has not been resolved by the manufacturer- I’m really sorry to hear about this. When you say “pops and clicks” are these similar to the sounds a dac makes when ... | |

| Educate me about DSD @nevada_matt I only use USB as that offers the highest allowable sample rates for playback in my system. I typically buy the “native” sample rate file the music was recorded at and store on my MacBook Pro. I use Tascam’s Hi Res Editor to resampl... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time What happened to the OP here? No response to any comments made- just threw the grenade and ran. This seems like that recent REM thread. | |

| Buying Service? @ajant Have you considered looking into an older Theta Digital Casablanca? You might find one configured with the quantity of balanced outputs your looking for. I’m not familiar with their support of older versions but I see them offered for les... | |

| Oppo 103 DSD to Chord Qutest @monkvom See @fuzztone explanation regarding HDMI to I2S- the connector may be common but the circuits and pin outs of the two are not. I’m only familiar with the 105-D but if the 103 processes SACD the same way you can use HDMI out to a multic... |
