| Simaudio 400m / 860A vs PS Audio BHK250 @j-wall After almost five years of enjoying the sound and tolerating the heat from the BHK 250 I sold it and replaced it with the Kinki Studio EX-M7 which is fronted by a Supratek preamp. I don't feel like I lost anything except the heat. The ... | |
| PS Audio Directstream DAC? They should all be in the software archive on the PSA website | |
| Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile Be patient as I didn't find the "recommended" break-in time to be nearly enough with either the Abscisse or Bliss Jubiile"s. If you said earlier I don't remember, but what is the rest of your gear and cables. | |
| PS Audio Directstream DAC? Whether or not the market will be "flooded" with used DS Sr. first versions will depend on what PS Audio offers as a trade-in as opposed to the open market. Like @blisshifi I have and still own a modified DS Sr. and like he said it is a very goo... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz The free versions are meant to be used with their own streaming hardware like the Bridge II in the Directstream DAC's. You need to use the $6 version to get the best results. Still it will never be as good as one of the dedicated apps from compa... | |
| Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited? The Air Lens has no software included at all. Easier to think of it as a Rendu with an I2s output and SPDIF output. Same collection of aftermarket software choices as work with the two iFi devices. | |
| Which Transport or CD Player? @mdonda For anyone to have done a side by side comparison, who was not a reviewer like Terry London, you would have to put down just short of $6000 and then hope you got a working ProJect unit to make the comparison. In light of the multiple... | |
| Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited? If your DAC doesn't use their I2S protocol it won't do you any good and if it does both the Silent Angel Munich and iFi Neo Stream have an I2S output using the same protocol for less. Plus with the Neo Stream you have an alternative DAC to try out. | |
| Low buzzing through speaks @kingbr Your thought process of wanting to get the processor to the top is a good one in theory though as it will have to most cables coming in and out it increases the chance for power and signal cables crossing. Though a royal pain in the ... | |
| Low buzzing through speaks If you've got IC's and PC's crossing over each other that's your problem. Clean up the cable nest and the problem should go away. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @temmple Glad you finally got it all worked out. | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz There's not Qobuz Connect for anything so it being iFi has nothing to do with it. If iFi want to have Qobuz integration they need to adopt an app that is compatible but that costs money they are not willing to spend. There new Neo Stream is the s... | |
| IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz @temmple Are the Zen Stream and your phone/iPad on the same Network? Also when doing the complete setup of the Zen Stream in the Stream App you have to press the save button in each section where you make a change. Also make sure you have ch... | |
| MConnect Player issue You have to add the whole playlist to the Que to play it. If you haven't read through this. http://www.conversdigital.com/eng/product/product04.php#id_014 | |
| MConnect Player issue The paid version doesn't work on the Conversdigital boards like used in the Ayre unit the free version is the right one. If the top song in the playlist has a forward arrow in its album cover press that one. That will activate a whole album or p... |
