| Roon Upsampling - DSD vs. PCM DSD takes LOTS of extra CPU - that's for sure. Especially >256, which is where the sound quality improvements really kick in. | |
| The Mhdt lab Balanced Pagoda DAC @ teajay as long as you choose to post your comments on public social media forums you can expect some reactions. Not all them will be positive - you'll have to get over that. This is not your private notice board. As mentioned, Audiogon is inun... | |
| The Mhdt lab Balanced Pagoda DAC Oh, and by the way, I've never bought a Lab12 - I just didn't appreciate that this 5 year old dac was being represented as a new product. | |
| The Mhdt lab Balanced Pagoda DAC @ronrags, here's' the issue: social media has created an entirely new profession (often part-time) for people at home to test and review products. Examples include mommy-blogger reviews of vacuum cleaners, and so on. The website - especially in ... | |
| The Mhdt lab Balanced Pagoda DAC @soix I'd be happy to put together reviews of equipment if I was compensated by a manufacturer to do so. But sadly I'm not a professional "Influencer" - I do have another job. Don't get me wrong - there's no shame in being an influencer. I use... | |

| RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000? You just don't need to pay this much for what the RME does, unless you want its EQ capabilities for some reason.Otherwise save your money can get superior, measured performance with the new Topping D90, which uses a latest generation AKM chip. | |

At its worst, it’s a silly but relatively harmless obsession for those with more money than sense - but the satisfaction we get fr... | |
| Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim? In England Kudos and Neat speakers are very often paired with Naim amplification. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? "Whatever happened to the Lab 12 DAC1?"@twoleftears - good question. The answer is that was a bogus relaunch of a 5-year old product. Hype and BS. It seems have sunk back into oblivion. | |
| Connecting an Audioquest NRG Edison 20 amp outlet Thanks, I’ll try that and will let everyone know if I hear anything special. | |
| 15 amps vs 20 amps @sleepwalker. Sound advice - thank you. | |
| 15 amps vs 20 amps Yes all the duplex outlets are TR | |
| 15 amps vs 20 amps @lak Yes I think it makes sense to upgrade the outlet. I did this in my old house and was surprised at how much SQ difference it made. Taking your advice I put in another 20 amp outlet.The house is not new but was fairly recently rewired. I bel... | |
| 15 amps vs 20 amps Thanks to everyone who’s posted. Seems like I’ve got a nice, unexpected bonus in terms of power supply. I’m unable to get my Audioquest Storm plugs to fit into to outlet but I’ve also got a Blizzard which seems to squeeze in ok. Everything soun... |
