| Do I really need a separate Roon Core (computer) to use Roon Software? Yes Roon DSP is wonderful. I upsample everything to DSD128. I like that the most thus far with my Lampi Amber 3 dac. I also boost the bass by 1.25 dB from 120htz and down. | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? 20 gauge 600v Polycast everywhere including grounds. The 20 gauge in cotton for the RCA in and outs. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Stone cold both will sound a little closed in and constricted. After even 24 hours you will start to hear what they really sound like. The dac, cable and tube need closer to 60 hours to get most of the way. | |
| Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok Yes indeed. I have an Innuos, but was hoping to sell and help fund this purchase. I love Roon. I understand this unit sounds fantastic and I like the simplicity and direct ethernet hook up. Bummer on the need for a separate wired/dedicated compu... | |
| Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok Yikes! Too bad. I thought is was a one box solution. Thanks! | |
| Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok Does the X1 run Roon core or do a need another computer for this! Hope not at this price?! | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Fuses certainly provide sonic improvement. Funny how wine tasters can taste differences when the same wine is tasted in various shaped glasses and even different wine glass materials. I am a super taster and can taste differences others cannot. Ho... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @batenet. Just use the 2.2uf Odam with the ..01uf Cutf. Perfect combo for your system. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Sorry. Typo! Yes 5x20mm | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? The SR Orange fuse should have the lettering going from the back of the unit to the front. Use a 1.6 amp, slow blow, 5x22mm. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? The lettering flows toward the outer foil on the cap so the “V” is at the back of the unit. Thus, the cap reads from the back of the unit towards the front. The outer foil faces the front of the unit. I always add a .01uf Vcap Cutf in parallel to... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I am hearing the same thing here @stewg. It is remarkable how good this dac can be made to sound. Right now it is my favorite dac! The resolution and purity coupled with the silent background and huge soundstage is so compelling. I have not hear... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I placed the Shuguang Treasure cv181-z in the stock Orchid with the adaptor and did not like the sound at all. Very bright, forward and lacking warmth and bass. The cv181 already had 50 or so hours on an FYI. Next I performed my upgrades on the Or... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I have also heard the T is the best sounding from a Don Sachs preamp owner who tried both. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? The upgraded Orchid plays on a higher level for sure. Add the SR Orange fuse and tube rolling and the Orchid really steps up several big notches! I like my Amber 3, but needed to add better tubes, SR fuse and some other upgrades/tweaks to get her... |
