| Streamer and DDC (I need AES/SpDif output) Thanks, I will have a serious look at Auralic. | |
| Streamer and DDC (I need AES/SpDif output) @soix the Hermes was also in my list but I forgot to mention it. You are right I definitely prefer AES/EBU to SPDIF. Could you tell me more how the Iris improved your system? In what areas? For my system, since my DAC does not have USB, I believe ... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss @atriya Have you actually tried the SPDIF or the AES output of the Lumin U2, the Hifi Rose RS130 or the Eversolo DMP- A8? I would be interested to hear which one you prefer. Also the Innuos Zen does not have SPDIF or AES outputs, only the ZenMini... | |
| Anything new with digital room correction? @scottwheel No I am not using the Waveforming DSP and at this time I have no need for it, it sounds like a very useful tool for subwoofer calculations and placement. My Trinnov uses their Optimizer and is now discontinued but still supported. Tri... | |
| Anything new with digital room correction? Btw before the Trinnov I was using a TacT RCS 2.0 myself, there is no comparison between the two. The Trinnov is so much more capable and advanced. | |
| Anything new with digital room correction? I have been using a Trinnov ST2 Hifi for over 12 years. It is only used in the digital domain between sources and my DAC, it has lots of optimization options and it is extremely flexible. The firmware has been steadily improved and I just couldn't... | |
| Integrated Amplifier for Raidho XT-2 If you liked the CS2 then I would also suggest auditioning the Aavik U280 or U580 . | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, I still listen to a pair of Vienna Acoustics Mahler which I have since 2001, they sounded great and even better after upgraded crossover caps. | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? Thanks Soix, I will have a look. I sometimes modify equipment myself but I would not mess about with the circuit topology. Normally I would clean up the mains if needed, sometimes upgrade passive components to better ones (but one has to be very c... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @soix thanks but I can't see a link. | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @ricevs I am not familiar with your modifications, the same question as Tjag above, can you describe your modifications and how each one effects the sound of the amplifier? Which amp is your favourite for modding? | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @mbmi Do I understand you right that you prefer the Peachtree to the Aavik? Also you are comparing an integrated (the Aavik U-150) to a power amp with a separate preamp. Is there any way to bypass the preamp section of the Aavik and use your Audio... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @blisshifi Thank you for taking the time to form such a detailed reply, it is exactly what I was looking for. I have been using Class D amplifiers for almost 20 years and the technology keeps on improving, IMO they are the future of amplification.... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @blisshifi No problems, the Pascal modules (UMAC) don't use GaN technology, one of their features that makes them different to Hypex, Pufiri, IcePower and the rest of the classD designs is that they use a sinusoidal waveform instead of the more wi... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? Aavik uses the Pascal modules. I currently have Hypex based Ncore NC400 monos with a BAT VK-40 preamp, I would like to upgrade to either the new Hypex Nilai 500 or the Aavik I-280. Very difficult to find comparisons. |
