| Connectivity for Gustard U18? This should be plug-n-play for you. My MacBook Air worked plug-n-play with my Denafrips Ares II DAC and I don't expect the Gustard U18 DDC to be any different. All that said, I will confirm tomorrow when I receive my own U18. I'll try hooking my ... | |
| Could Class D really be that good? @phd believe it or not, there are people out there who simply write off Class D and some even Class AB right off the bat without so much as a blink. -Ed | |
| Could Class D really be that good? @lanx0003 I am not sure if it will be detrimental to performance, and I imagine a lot of factors come into play (efficiency/sensitivity of your speakers, listening volume level, driving impedance/load of the speakers, etc.). I didn’t see any resul... | |
| Could Class D really be that good? @lanx0003 Yes, I am hoping to make that cut as well. I have a feeling first 200 will go FAST. I plan to get a pair without power supplies as I already have a pair of 48V/10A units that I currently use with my ZA3s. Once the V3 Monos arrive, I’ll r... | |
| Could Class D really be that good? @lanx0003 a little under 3 hours until the Kickstarter for V3 Mono opens up!!! -Ed | |
| Could Class D really be that good? I currently run the following chain and love it: Musician Draco -> Schiit Freya+ rolled with matched quad Psvane CV181-T MkII tubes -> a pair of Fosi ZA3 power amplifiers with rolled op-amps (Burson V7 Vivid in the left channel gain, Spark... | |
| Anybody Using a Portable Audio Player (DAP) As a Streamer? Yes, I have been having great success with this as my source in my chain. I eventually upgraded my preamp to a Schiit Freya+ and rolled that with quad matched Psvane CV181-T MkII tubes and it took the whole chain to another level. So happy with th... | |
| Anybody Using a Portable Audio Player (DAP) As a Streamer? @fuzztone Looks like the problem is when using the invert or vertical flip option on the screen. Once I disabled that and returned it to normal orientation, it worked again. -Ed | |
| Anybody Using a Portable Audio Player (DAP) As a Streamer? Oh yeah, I also decided to invest in the HiBy CR06 dock. Much more elegant than what I am using now with just long, loose cables and a microfiber cloth for it to sit on. 😆 -Ed | |
| Anybody Using a Portable Audio Player (DAP) As a Streamer? My R6 Pro II came in on Monday, along with my Gustard H16. The H16 replaced an SMSL SP400 as my preamp. I installed an SD card preloaded with some DSD recordings as well as installed Apple Music for all of my lossless/high-res lossless playlists f... | |
| Anybody Using a Portable Audio Player (DAP) As a Streamer? @ghdprentice were you using the internal DAC to compare or were you using an external DAC? -Ed | |
| Anybody Using a Portable Audio Player (DAP) As a Streamer? @fuzztone Which version of HiBy Cast were you trying to use that failed, the Android version, or the iOS/iPadOS version? I have a Lenovo android-based tablet as well as iPhone and iPad at my disposal, so fingers crossed that SOMETHING works out! 😂... | |
| One DAC to Rule it All @emsher22 i do the same thing in my system between my preamp and power amp; I just use a solution that has balanced inputs and outputs, the DBX 223sx. -Ed | |
| One DAC to Rule it All @mijostyn This is the first I’ve heard of DEQX. In your opinion, will the DEQX Pre4 outperform the MiniDSP Flex (I have considered that model with balanced analog connections)? -Ed | |
| Practical Question Regarding Newer Topping Amps I ended up scoring an open-box SMSL SP400 for just $350. Can't wait for it to come in! -Ed |
