| Connecting USB streamer server to I2s RJ45 input of DAC? @artemus_5 The NT-505 will work just fine with a WiFi extender providing the extender is getting a clean and constant signal from your router which based on your photos and comments is in another room. How far away from the router is the ext... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Nothing wrong with the one on the website as I just communicated with him on Friday using it. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread When I talked with him over the weekend he was going to have minor surgery on Monday so out of pocket for a few days. | |
| Nuprime Stream-9 Streamer The I2S output on all Nuprime gear follows the PS Audio standard so yes to the May/Spring and Directstream don't know what standard SMSL follows. | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? Another option is the new AGD Tempo https://agdproduction.com/tempo/ | |
| Avoiding US dealer markups The only time that workaround will work is with speakers. With the current shipping premiums that savings will not be what it used to be. | |

| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 I agree with Charles in that if you want/need full DSD output and have the ability to take advantage of the I2S output give it a try. You’ll have 30 days to see if anything odd happens that bothers you. I'll also add that nobody on the forum that ... | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 @lordmelton For me it's because I don't own any SACD's other than maybe a half dozen hybrids. Secondly as a member of the PS Audio forum for six years some of software related quirks involving this transport took it out of consideration quickly... | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 @snopro I ordered on the 12th and was told 7-10 business days plus shipping. The CDT2 will be broken in and the CDT3 right out of the box so it will take a while before they are anywhere close to on equal footing. I will however give initial... | |
| Is the Shuguang 5AR4 any good? @immatthewj I don't remember how many spots you have that need a 5AR4 but if you have enough good NOS ones to fill those spots you only need one spare so concentrate on getting quality not quantity. Times are different than when I was buying... | |
| Is the Shuguang 5AR4 any good? No different than the Sovtek in sound or reliability. If they are good strong tubes the Amperex and the Matsushita will last a decade at least unless damaged by something. | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 No hum on mine why do you ask | |

| Preamp match for my First Watt F-7 amp. With 90db speakers the 18db gain from the Quicksilver line stage should be more than enough to drive the First Watt amp as loud as you can stand. I suggest you check your connections especially the output level on the Audiolab streamer. |
