| DAC Input Topology @vonhelmholtz- I’m not a “clocking” expert by any stretch of the imagination so take this for what it’s worth but as the N20 you’ve inquired about isn’t functioning as a master clock (meaning there are not clocking outputs and the Holo has no clo... | |
| DAC Input Topology @vonhelmholtz taken from your post- ”I was questioning if the Holo can take advantage of this given that the clock quality/stability is very good, but 4-10 times less stable than the Aurender clock”. How did you come to realize that the clock ... | |
| THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME DOMAIN RESPONSE MUST READ Apparently he listens to the clicking or thumping of square waves (depending on the duration of course). | |
| Audio Note DAC Owners- please share your thoughts @jjss49- Thanks for the note. I had read your impressions on the ANK 4.1 earlier and even though it sounded as if from memory it gave me the impression you were liking what you heard (at least for a while). Seems like you’ve found something speci... | |

| Butcherblock Acoustics "feet" effecting sound and isolation All good suggestions with regards to decoupling and/or the application of mass but be weary of how Sorbothane can interact with your surrounding surfaces when under compression. The plasticizers used in the formulation can stain and actually adher... | |

| SW1X Audio Design DAC III balanced S @mresseguie- If that DAC is the same one that came up a couple of days ago from a seller in Orange County I have say Well Played! I saw that ad and had mentioned to my wife “someone really wants to move this”- I looked again later the next morni... | |
| Audio Note DAC Owners- please share your thoughts @timo62- Thanks for the link! I had read this a while ago as well- big recommendation for that unit. There was a 3.1x/II up for sale on the “other” site recently and I didn’t think the price was bad either. Just a little hesitant to go blindly in... | |
| Audio Note DAC Owners- please share your thoughts @clio09- Thanks for the response. There seem to be many positive comments on the ANK 4.1 which makes me even more curious about the kits. @roxy54 shared a little of his experience with his updated/modified ANK and seems to be totally satisfied. H... | |
| Audio Note DAC Owners- please share your thoughts @jeffseight- I’m in the part of the world known as Southern California- an LA native. There was a well known AN dealer in the Fullerton area. Sadly, he passed away 2 years ago. As of this point I believe there are a couple of dealers near the Bay... | |
| Audio Note DAC Owners- please share your thoughts @jond- Hey there- it sounds as if no progress has been made on your DAC since relaying this to me a few weeks ago (I had sent you a pm regarding Audio Note). Hope your able to get it back up and running soon! | |
| Audio Note DAC Owners- please share your thoughts @jeffseight- I’m curious to hear which DAC were you using prior to moving onto the ANK 4.1x and what improvements it provided within your system. You mention a friend’s system doing some “special things”- does that DAC have upgraded components or... | |
| Audio Note DAC Owners- please share your thoughts @fsonicsmith- Thank you for the thoughtful response. Your comments regarding equipment similarities took me to your system page and I must say congrats to you on that setup- those tables are beautiful! Back to the DAC- I’m familiar with the hist... |
