| What Digital to Digital Converter Do You Use? Why? According to the designer the USB input on the Holo May is the preferred one so try it until the DAC is broken in. I have both a May KTE and a Spring 3 KTE and I concur with the designer and see no need personally for a DDC. Your money though if... | |
| Power supply question for streamer Another good option for less than the Power Elite is the LHY power supply built by Jays Audio. https://www.tekaudiospecialties.com/product-page/lps25va | |
| Power supply question for streamer The specs are 9-15 volts so you are at the top of the range and should be fine. I bought a 12 volt LPS to split the difference. | |
| Help with iFi Zen Stream and mconnect HD While the iFi Stream app is generally not good for much else than maintenance issues the Web Radio function is actually pretty good and includes a number of FLAC stations. Since mConnect doesn't have a radio function it keeps you from having to u... | |
| Help with iFi Zen Stream and mconnect HD Go back to ifi local and make sure the "hot spot" is not shown as on. I've never been able to get the ifi.local site to work so I resorted to using the iFi app instead. It's pretty obvious that the iPad is looking for another location than where ... | |
| Help with iFi Zen Stream and mconnect HD Once you've got the Zen Stream back on the network using the iFi app then shut the iPad completely off, wait a few minutes and turn it back on. Then let mConnect look for the Zen Stream again. It is likely on a different IP address then when it ... | |
| New Project RS2T transport Rob Patrick's father Rick Cullen works for W4S and has for quite some time after shutting down his own shop. Patrick has also worked there on occasion and done some contract for them. Not sure why he would merge with them as they are in the sam... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @aldnorab If you own or plan on owning an amp whose input sensitivity is a good match for the current Sachs preamps 18db gain then it is a fine preamp. If you like to swap amps around or don't know what you may be drawn to in the future then th... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @aldnorab I only had a chance to listen to the Cabernet for about 10 days in the SC system before I had to leave town so no where near broken in at less than 75 hours. But based on that brief listen to it in the same system the Sachs was in ... | |
| Sub Confusion I'm in agreement with bdp24. Having owned both the Rythmik subs will do want you want as well or better than the REL's and a pair will cost you less than one REL. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @aldnorab As to the different finishes the only differences are the cost and the fact that in the current supply chain environment the copper/chrome finishes will result in what could be a much longer wait time. I prefer the black chassis finis... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @aldnorab I've owned a Chardonnay for going on three years, the latest Sachs for almost two years and a Cabernet 8SN7 for just a couple of months. The Cabernet and Chardonnay at this time are in different house in different systems in differ... | |
| recommendations for buying used balanced integrated or power amp 2k range? If your only sources are a Node and a D2 why do you need a balanced integrated? | |
| Time to upgrade the pre-amp. I owned a BHK preamp for four years and as the OP's amp is SE I would disagree that the BHK is a good choice. The BHK is best matched with a fully balanced amp unless the increased clicking noise from the "unique" volume control with a SE amp doe... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Sounds like the input switch was in the wrong position of faint sound was coming through. |
