| SOtM player? It works perfectly as a Roon endpoint. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) I can’t believe the unending debate on whether equipment breaks in or the ear accustoms itself to equipment. Equipment break-in-- particularly for electro-mechanical devices like speakers-- is for real. I’ll bet that most speakers that are put up ... | |
| Speaker upgrade around 100k retail Maybe, but at this level it’s like arguing that a McLaren is better than a Bugatti. Impulse and pedigree rule. | |
| Speaker upgrade around 100k retail Trolling at the $100K level is discouraging. | |

| Everything Matters With Digital Naysayers here and psychologically crippled forums like Audioscience inspired me to order an Uptone etherREGEN today. So far I have been impressed by "audiophile" innovations in the Ethernet/USB domain. My wallet is open to experiments-- within ... | |
| Everything Matters With Digital We can probably all agree that a Raspberry Pi is the best $39 DAC that one can buy. | |
| Merlin Battery Bam If you have a DIY capability, upgrade the BBAM to an external +/- 12vdc linear power supply and eliminate those noisy button cell batteries. | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... As intriguing as this is, the 45mhz clock links between his products are a closed architecture as far as I can see. I would love to try it, but have been using a 10mhz clock link between Esoteric and SOtM products and see no way to interoperate wi... | |
| Which USB Re Clocker With an Esoteric K-01X-- a very good DAC and USB interface-- I can clearly hear improvements with external USB regeneration, ethernet switches, master clock links, power supplies, and digital cables. | |
| Which USB Re Clocker @grannyring That’s an interesting report on the 3R Mastertime Blackstar. I’ve been using a SOTM EN-to-USB renderer, SOTM USB conditioner, and SOTM-modified D-Link hub, all powered by Hynes SR-7 and synchronized to a 10mhz rubidium clock (and a JCA... | |
| Duelund CAST-PIO-Ag I have .01s bypassing ClarityCap CMR in series and shunt positions in a second order crossover. They add a bit of richness and air in a satisfying way. Not obscenely expensive in very small values and probably worth trying. | |
| A world class volume control for pennies on the dollar @Kr4 Not a bad idea, as achieving good CMRR would be difficult with a balanced pot due to variations in tracking across four sections.Assuming that the buffers are well executed, I would swap out the ALPs pot for a Goldpoint stepped attenuator or ... | |
| A world class volume control for pennies on the dollar There was speculation on the technoid Audio Science forum that the Alps pot might have been implemented to control the output level of the op amps-- thus removing the pot from the signal path. But nothing definite. | |
| Merlin speakers @confoosed The post was for those who know and understand Merlin speakers. Also, for anyone interested in buzz about an innovative driver from a new company. |
