| Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter @steakster Totally agree that precise phase adjustment is crucial to integration, along with crossover and volume. I think it's a baseline thing for the total system's sound. If it's not properly integrated, especially with phase (in my experien... | |
| Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter Yes, I agree @lak that mileage WILL vary based on multiple conditions, one of which being the exact power cable used. I can only provide testimony about my sealed, 500w rms, class D powered sub which is plugged into a power conditioner outlet that... | |
| Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter Maybe it's my 10 years as a bass player and the trained ear that comes with that, but the difference was profound, not subtle, and very worth the upgrade. | |

| Best place to purchase a new Denafrips Pontus II @kw6 I think the clock in the Hermes is the same oven controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) that Denafrips puts in their Terminator II, which are much more accurate than the FEMTO clock in the Pontus II, as well as the TCXO clock in the more expens... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @abd1 Best not to spam this thread with copy pasta when you have your own thread. | |
| Best place to purchase a new Denafrips Pontus II @kw6 You may have caught it in the discussion, but just like ozzy relayed from Alvin at Vinshine Audio, and corroborated by my experience, the Denafrips DDCs can be worth the price if you are using a USB connection from your source. If you have a... | |
| Best place to purchase a new Denafrips Pontus II @ozzy62 yeah, OS with slow filter. Detailed and natural sounding | |
| Best place to purchase a new Denafrips Pontus II @ozzy62 Good question. I've been comparing my laptop USB output to an unmodified Bluesound Node 2021 out via both coax and optical to the Hermes with Krakatoa PC (then I2S to Pontus II), and also connected directly to Pontus II via coax and optic... | |
| Best place to purchase a new Denafrips Pontus II Hey @ozzy62, you mentioned that you may be considering the Iris reclocker in this thread, so I thought you may be interested in a cool discovery a made in my Denafrips setup. I'm running USB into a Hermes DDC, then to Pontus II DAC via I2S. The ... | |
| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? @painter24 A few more things of note regarding my testing. The laptop was drawing power from the battery, the coax cable from the Node is an Audioquest Forest (cheapest of their current digital coax line), and the USB board hardware in the Hermes... | |
| Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it? @painter24 Similar to you, I have a Denafrips Pontus II DAC but with a Denafrips Hermes reclocker upstream, and I'm trying out a Bluesound Node 2021. Doing a streaming music sound quality comparison using high res songs on Qobuz via my laptop vs t... |
