| Denafrips Pontus II vs Venus II @stevebohnii I want to stay humble and precise, so I just did the old Hermes bypass test... again. I listened to the album "Harp Favorites" by Floraleda Sacchi on Qobuz to test the difference. I find harp recordings to be one of the best ways to... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II vs Venus II @stevebohnii That cable's specs look excellent, and it's in a significantly higher price bracket compared to my Kimber I2S. I've been on a tear lately with system upgrades, including an Acoustic Zen Absolute 110ohm AES/EBU into the Hermes, but ... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II vs Venus II Hi again Steve @stevebohnii I'm using Kimber Kable HD29 0.5m. It's just barely long enough to go between levels on my audio rack. I haven't tried any others. If you have any suggestions, let me know. | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming I use glass Toslink optical from Amazon for connecting my TV audio to my HiFi system, and it sounds excellent. I'm actually amazed how good it sounds through my DAC/audio system, given the bitrate/sample rate. | |
| Denafrips Pontus II vs Venus II @ryder I use a AES/EBU from a Bricasti M5 streamer into a Denafrips Hermes, which outputs via I²S to a Pontus II. Everything in the digital chain upstream from the streamer is powered by quiet linear power supplies and is also power filtered. ... | |

| Review: The Audiogon Discussion Forum itself 😉 I miss MC @fertguy Same here, I enjoyed his snark and absence of BS in the face of adversity | |

| Review: The Audiogon Discussion Forum itself 😉 @juanmanuelfangioii I made about 10 different points and described each of them in detail. What's your point? | |
| Review: The Audiogon Discussion Forum itself 😉 I think you are right when considering my points #4 and #6, and also that it’s a simplistic conclusion and a restrictive viewpoint of what’s possible. There’s endless numbers of businesses that lean on or rely on Twitter communications for a larg... | |
| Review: The Audiogon Discussion Forum itself 😉 I realize there must be some difficulty in getting dealers and manufacturers to identify themselves, along with the extra work of Audiogon staff verifying such things. But perhaps by adding additional functionality which requires having those ico... | |
| Review: The Audiogon Discussion Forum itself 😉 @fuzztone Huh? Is that a statement about what you see as a problematic pattern with forum contributors? Or perhaps a passive-aggressive judgment about how you perceive my posts? Or am I misreading your intention with that comment? It seems pretty... | |
| Upstream Bottlenecks, Experience, Opinions, Meitner Dac @sns You've got a great conditioner, just as I suspected! Do you mind sharing which lps you use on the router? Separate, right? Also, you mentioned a few comments earlier in this discussion that you use a AQ Vodka from modem to router. Have you ... |
