| How can I get the last FPGA update for my Denafrips Ares II? Contact Denafrips directly and ask them. There was someone on here recently that was looking for the Pontus updates and I believe he contacted Denafrips and got them. | |
| Weak link +1 @knotscott I would spend some effort treating the room. You have very nice components. Room treatment is likely the best bang for the buck. A pair of subs would be interesting as well. | |
| Help Select an True Bookshelf Speaker You could look for an acoustic suspension speaker. I think ATC makes them as well as Harbeth, Falcon Acoustics, Spendor, Buchardt. Not sure if all those are sealed but without the port you won’t need to be so fussy about placement. Bass will no... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh I will not be selling. I recall having the same concerns when they were bought by the private equity firm that just sold them. None of those concerns became reality. Other than some questionable branding of “wearables” the article is all about ... | |

| Yet another Sub Question Get a second T/9x. It does exactly what @ghdprentice says. Soundstage extends in all directions and imaging improves. I’m not aware of software for setting up a REL. Neither of my T/5xes came with software, but they do have good videos on set... | |
| McIntosh purchased by Bose...NOT an April Fool's joke. How is that any worse than being owned by a private equity firm? As long as they don’t dilute the product, and from reading the article it seems they understand what the brand means and where it lives within the market (for both McIntosh and Sonu... | |
| Tidal and Qobuz playback Thanks. Whatever the issue was it resolved itself today. | |
| Tidal and Qobuz playback Seems to just be affecting my two MacBooks and only allows playing of low quality files. I’ve contacted Tidal. | |
| Amp for Sopra No. 1 Did you like your friends setup with the monoblocks? If you did and don’t want monoblocks the MC462 would work. | |
| Laptop going into Denafrips Pontus help Not sure what you mean by the Denafrips url being blacklisted. I found downloads for Pontus USB Windows drivers on the site just now. Not sure what version you need for your Pontus but here’s a link https://www.denafrips.com/download-thesycon | |
| Pop album that has stood the test of time @slaw thats funny cause the first name that popped into my head was Suzanne Vega. I got on a kick a while ago listening to several of her early albums. Very good. |
