| After 20 years, in the market for a power amp I auditioned my Triton 1.r's with a Prima Luna 400 integrated, it ran out of steam during the audition and got frazzled. I am 70, the Coda s5.5 weighs 45 pounds-another reason I bought it. I can't lug heavy amps around anymore, it replaced a 140 l... | |
| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? @kingbr Good, glad I could help. Enjoy the music! And the Hermes. | |
| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? Yes, you leave Pontus on I2s. You use the Hermes as the input selector, I have USB, AES/UBU and Coaxial connected to my Hermes. Yes digital input connections to Hermes. You do have to get out of your chair to change inputs on Hermes if you want t... | |
| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? No, all connections should work, I suggest you unplug the Hermes and plug it back in to reboot it. You change them while it was "live?" | |
| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? @kingbr Just make sure you set your Hermes to "000" first, then with the volume low and music playing start DAC @ "000" and keep clicking until it sounds right. I just did this to my Terminator 15th 2 weeks ago and it went quickly. "010" was wha ... | |
| After 20 years, in the market for a power amp @pvnasby This is a qiote regurading you "dream amp" vs the Coda S5.5 > Hey ddafoe, I did a review on the Pass Labs X250.8, excellent amplifier, and the bass control on all the Coda amps, including the S5.5, is much better controlled/dynamic... | |
| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? I used to have test tones on a playlist in conductor/Qobuz but they stopped working. I think they got removed. I downloaded the files from the Vinshine site and transferred them to the SSD on my Aurender so i have them permanently. I did locate so... | |
| After 20 years, in the market for a power amp You can buy a brand a new Coda S5.5 in your budget, outstanding amp and will drive the T 1's with ease. Contact Tom at Big Ear Stereo for a good price. I had T1.r's for while so i have experience with them. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @mclinnguy Yes, I have settled in on the Fidelium Speaker cables. They made my system sing when I first got them and just quit thinking about it. @audphile1 I certainly understand the cost being prohibitive, if I needed longer length i would h... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @audphile1 Your impressions of the AQ Diamond USB and what I experienced with my frontRow Reserve USB vs the AQ are the same. All the detail is still there but the mids filled in nicely and over time the bass is just amazing. So quick, detailed a... | |
| Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing @kdoerner So a Cottonmouth source on the DAC may be a good place to start? I currently has a Wireworld Silver electra 7 there. | |
| Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing @kdoerner I am curious about the SRA Power cords. I was think of either one on my new DAC or one on my AMP. It appears that they would be two different PCs by design. Amp is higher current. I wouldn’t mind adding just a bit of warmth to the syste... | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S Provided the DDC has a better clock than the DAC you should hear a bigger soundstage and better defined bass, not huge but it’s there. But I would just wait and see how your i2S interface works for you first.n By all means get a good I2s cable, I ... | |
| JAYS Audio transport upgrade? Get the CD3 Mk 3 and be done with it | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp I can vouch for the build quality of CODA amps. I have the Coda s5.5 and it is outstanding, a sonic gem. I have had it about 6 months. |
