| Soft Start Circuits for Amplifiers Soft start saves the power filter capacitors and the power transformer most of all, followed by the active devices (tubes and transistors). It may also prevent your panel breakers from tripping. DIYAudio sells some boards to make your own. No cons... | |
| Tidal streaming 192.0Khz/24it? And FYI, I like Fiio much more than Oppo when it comes to DACs. :) Erik | |
| Tidal streaming 192.0Khz/24it? You probably have upsampling enabled. Search in your settings menu. Best,Erik | |
| Do I need speakers upgrade? Spend money on room acoustics first. They will make your room more speaker and sub friendly. GIK Acoustics for advice. | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... @daveyf Yep, I am really liking my transcoded tracks, but I liked them a lot before. PM did nice things. :) Yeah, the HDCD "license" holders actually had to buy little DIP chips with HDCD printed on them. I'm sure it's all in software now. | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... Oppo 103 also has HDCD playback! Who knew?? I keep forgetting. I didn't think anything this new still had HDCD built in. | |

| Surround Processor/Receiver for HT addition to 2 ch system Oppo 103D + Parasound P7 multichannel preamp | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... Hey @jafant Start a new thread in the digital section. :) The quick answer is, you use a laptop or PC as a music server, and use USB or S/PDIF output to your DAC. This is most convenient.Of course, you can also burn a CD-R but I don't ever do that... | |
| Audiocap Theta Audyn True Copper Mundorf Supreme The Audyn TC caps are pretty marvelous but also very pricey. 0.1uF runs around $20-$30. Compared to say, middle of the road Mundorf MKP for about $7 for 4uF. Still, as bypass caps used selectively I find them very good. I have not compared to Jupi... | |
| Clarity Cap CMR Impressions Sorry DM! I have been short of cash flow of late, but I have a great speaker kit I was going to try to market based on the MR versions. The hype is exceptional. We'll see! Erik | |
| HDCD rescue - it's possible, but man... Hi Alan,Funny, I am having the opposite experience. :) Best,Erik |
