Jay's Audio CD Transport Repair
@jaymark    Just deal with Todd as he is the designated US repair facility.  
Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8
I'm only repeating what the distributor Aamir told me when I asked the same question with regards to using as streamer only or combo.  I was willing to pay the difference when I called him. I've had mine playing out of the analog outputs since I u... 
Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8
The upgrades to the Masters Edition are higher level clocks and op amps on the DAC side so if you are only going to use it as a streamer the standard edition is the same.  If you are going to use it as a combination unit you may or may not hear th... 
looking for PS Audio Power Plant Premier to demo / purchase in Seattle area
If you are looking to address DC issues then the PS Audio regenerators won't help you in that department but the Puritan will and I've owned both.  Also the Power Plant you are referencing has been discontinued for years.   
All New Arya Audio Labs Revopods Damping Feet Review : OMG !
Pretty obvious what his motives are. Otherwise he wouldn’t be posting the same things on multiple forums using different user names.  And be prepared he will again deny it.   
Supratek Owners Thread
@tksteingraber    I have both a Chardonnay and a Cabernet in two different systems and use Blackburn Mullard 5AR4's in both mainly due to the slow start-up feature.  Have used all of the other compatible 5 volt variables but always end up back w... 
Supratek Owners Thread
@tksteingraber    The Russian military tubes are pretty standard for him when he can get them but the NOS Radiotron's are an upgrade from the normal.  The 6SN7's should be fine as are the the Russian 6L6's.  I would look for a NOS rectifier thou... 
Holo Red Streamer
@nglazer  If you like the basic sound profile of the DS Sr. like I did but are just looking for "more" I found that first with the Aqua La Voce S3 and then with both the Holo Spring 3 KTE and the May KTE.  All three surpassed the DS even with the... 
Holo Red Streamer
@arafiq  Yes that is what I meant.  As to whether or not I2S is the better input on Denafrips DAC's I don't know but if you think it is and Alvin agrees then the Red is worth a try.   
Holo Red Streamer
@nglazer  Glad you got everything up and running.  I am familiar with the mConnect family of software as like you I used it with both the Bridge II and the paid version with the Zen Stream and the Red but just recently started on the 14 day trial... 
Holo Red Streamer
@arafiq    If you need to connect the Red to a Denafrips streamer you can use any output including I2S by changing the Dip switch settings on the bottom so just use Ethernet in and output of your choice.  No need for a DDC at all.  
Holo Red Streamer
Neal   You can't use the same version of MConnect on the Red that you used with the Bridge.  The version you were using with the Bridge only sees and controls Conversdigital devices which the Bridge was.  You have to use the $5.99 MConnect HD. T... 
Holo Red Streamer
Before you plug in the Red or turn it on put the supplied Micro SC card with Red OS on it in the unit connect all the cables and turn it on.  It will take a few minutes to boot up so be patient.  Next find the IP address given to it by your router... 
JM Reynaud Magic Stands V1 versus V2
The Offrande's come with their own stands that bolt to the bottom.  
My experience with Kinki warranty
Todd's always been great with me but if you are having a problem getting a part sent from Kinki to Todd then try contacting Ken Ng directly at Kinki as that's who Todd would have to go through to get the parts.
