| Uptone EtherRegen Sent mine back today as in my system the sound became forced, bright, more glare, upper mids were too lively. After 72 hours I had to remove it and I found my ears were at ease again. I know others had great results, but I guess my system does n... | |
| Peter Wolf - give him another listen He albums are terrific. Great stuff and Peter is perhaps one of the most understated writers of all time. His solo music is special. | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 @dgarretson. I get your statement. I thought the same having come off the DSD Lampizator Amber 3 with upgrades/mods. Never thought about it again once I heard how much better all my rips and streaming sounded with the Evo. Don’t miss DSD and u... | |
| Streaming vs CD transport direct comparison I love the Roon sound and interface. Roon sounds great in my system so I am a tad confused on the notion Roon does not offer first class sound. I use a modified Innuos Zenith with the Roon/Squeezelite option. Mojo Audio Evo dac taken to the max wi... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 That would be a question for Ben. Like to hear from him on this. | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 Keep in mind Ben has never claimed his past dacs were upgradable. He has really separated out the various parts of the Evo dac so they can be swapped out for new boards and/or parts. Look closely at the pics to see this. I personally upgraded my ... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 @mitch2 He really did not like the Sonnet. Lacked body and weight. Not enough bass and again too electronic sounding vs his time with the Mojo. He thought the Sonnet sounded weak and “fragile” vs the solidity, ease, control and foundation sonicall... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 So Funny. He has tried so many dacs after selling his Mojo. All of them came up short by a long way according to him. He kept telling me he made a big mistake selling it. He just had to see if there was something better 😊. Oh my! He trialed a very... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 @cal3713 Is your acquaintance in the northern MN area? | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 A good audio friend of mine had the new Sonnet Digital Audio Morpheus and well as the latest Denafrips Terminator with DSP board in his home. He also owned the Mojo Mystique 3. He felt both dacs were rather electronic sounding compared to the Mojo... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 Actually Ben does not change his dacs nearly as much as most of the industry. The good news is his Evo is easily upgraded and modular in terms of upgrading to any future improvements Ben may offer. This is a big departure from his past builds. I u... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 Yes the Mojo Mystique Evo is the top of list. This dac simply has to be heard to be believed. Won’t find a more natural and right sounding dac for any amount of money. Ben offers a trial period so give it a listen. I suggest adding the Lundhal AM... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Wow. The more I listen, the more impressed I am. More at ease, better sense of control, larger stage, better focus, greater bottom end solidity. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling I replaced the 5 runs of VH Audio 18 gauge on the live conductor for the power cord used on my conditioner. I replaced with two runs of the Neotech 12 gauge solid core copper in Teflon. I left the Teflon in place. Yes indeed this was a significant... | |
| Silver/copper alloy cables Mundorf and Neotech make copper/silver alloys with the addition of a small amount of gold. The Neotech copper/silver/gold is the better sounding option. |
