| Anyone Recently Change to Class D power? @milpai - Yes, my Purifi monoblocks each have a large linear power supply. You can see a couple of photos on my virtual system page. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8726Each amp has a 1500VA transformer with about 200,000uF of capacitance. I’... | |
| Anyone Recently Change to Class D power? The more I listen to my Purifi-based monoblocks (DIY with linear PS), the more impressed I am with the performance. I'm getting ready to sell my Parasound JC5. | |
| CD Ripping To Roon Nucleus Why don't you just plug a USB CD drive into the Nucleus? It will rip automatically when you insert a CD. | |
| Roon ready streamer and DAC convo How about a PS Audio DirectStream DAC with Network Bridge. | |
| ROON NUCLEUS+ KEEPS CRASHING You might also look at the M.2 SSD. If this is starting to fail, this will cause the Nucleus to crash. If you connect a monitor to the Nucleus when you boot it, the BIOS may give you some indication of a hardware problem. I had a problem with my R... | |
| Best sounding resistors I haven't done direct A/B comparisons of different resistors in the same circuit, but I have noticed that circuits built with different resistor types tend to sound different. Specifically, the Z-foil resistors add a lot of clarity and detail (rem... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I spent some time today switching between my Purifi amps (using Neurochrome input buffer), Neurochrome Mod-286 amps, and Parasound JC5. First, I should say that my ears aren't as discriminating as they used to be. I've suffered with Tinitus for ma... | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core In @decathlon1991 's case, the Nucleus is not the streamer. It is another source of data. I think the primary goal is to remove any noise on the ethernet signal before it reaches the streamer, and this includes noise introduced by the Roon core. B... | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core It should be placed between your router and Nucleus. Hmm... I had better luck putting my EtherRegen between my server and my streamer when I was using a streamer. Since @decathlon1991 is using the Cary as the streamer, I'd recommend trying it i... | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core The Gaia does a few things. It can convert virtually any input type to virtually any output type, so you can optimize the connections to your devices based on what works best and what cables you have available. It isolates the inputs from the outp... | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core I'm also in the DIY Roon ROCK camp. I built a Roon server using a NUCi7 in a fanless Akasa Turing case. I built a higher end configuration because I wanted to be able to support multiple zones simultaneously and experiment with DSP. So my configur... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? If @madavid0 is using the VTV buffer boards with Weiss opamps, these have Sparkos discrete regulators for the low voltage power, and these are independent for each channel. It's possible, though, that the SMPS supply is configured for regulated V... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? That can be caused by an offset problem at the input of the comparitor- if its something like that I would regard it as a malfunction. Seems unlikely that this would be the case in both channels (assuming that's the case). Since this is a stere... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? They are basically compatible. The NC500 has a clip output which the Purifi board does not. The NC500 recommended op amp supplies are +/-15v where as the Purifi module recommends +/- 12V, but the Purifi max rating for this supply is +/- 20v, so yo... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I have to say that I am enjoying the sound from my DIY Purifi amps a lot more than the Nord NC500 amps I had last year. I don't know if this is because of my use of a large linear power supply in my DIY amps, the difference between the Purifi modu... |
