| Best streamer/DAC for up to $1500 A little over the budget, but streams ahead of the Cambridge is a Gustard R26. | |
| Basic switch....should I upgrade? Plugged in my modded network switch over the weekend. A Cisco SG110D-8. Modded by adding a C4Mk2 clock from Fidelity Audio. Also added a new DDC, USB cable, LAN isolators, and ethernet cables to the system. Initially couldn’t get sound from the ... | |
| What Digital to Digital Converter Do You Use? Why? Plugged in my Audio GD DI-20HE DDC over the weekend. Also added a new modded network switch, USB cable, and ethernet cables. The sound was 'jaw dropping,' At some stage will evaluate on its own, but as part of a whole, brilliant. | |
| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? Just ordered a set of Auditorium 23 jumper cables. | |
| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? On Monday night bought an Audio GD DI-20HE DDC. It arrived on Friday. Not high-end; more mid-end. | |
| Linear power supply @robshaw I have a Project Stream Box S2 Ultra. A wonderful piece. They say no benefit adding a linear power supply due to John Westlake's design. Almost certainly going to get a Plixir Elite BDC Dual. Have space limitations. Would feed my netw... | |
| DAC suggestions Another possibility is a Soekris 2541. The Gustard R26 is well received as well. I may end up with an RME ADI-2 as my headphone Dac in the bedroom. Attach my Project Stream Box S2 Ultra to it (probably a year away). | |
| Linear power supply I've seen that Audio Bacon review. As a consequence will be replacing my LPS with a Plixir Elite BDC Dual. Considered the Ferrum Audio Hypsos for its reviews, quality and flexibility. | |
| Denafrips Pontus II vs Venus II I have had suggested to me by a few audiophiles I should think about an Audio GD DDC, over any of the Denafrips range. On their advice, I have ordered an Audio GD DI-20HE. Then will have around $400 mods before receiving it. | |
| Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line? I'm looking to try/buy an Audience AU24SX AES/EBU. Think I'll prefer this over the Front Row. Another option is either Atlas Mavros or Triode Wire Labs Spirit 110. Has anyone tried these? | |
| Bladerunner Film Soundtrack I think I have Bladerunner on vinyl. No dialogue from what I remember. | |
| SQ difference XLR vs RCA ? Some DACs are a SE design. In these cases there would be little to no improvement using XLR unless a long run required. More of an improvement if the DAC is a balanced design. | |
| What Digital to Digital Converter Do You Use? Why? I know some people who prefer AES/EBU over I2S. | |
| HiFi audio Fuse on a CD Transport I'm not sure it would be a 'great improvement.' You would hope it was noticeable, and the change was something you liked. Have SR Purple in my Dac and Amp. Linear power supplies have AMR Gold. I'm upgrading the power supplies, and will use probab... | |
| What Digital to Digital Converter Do You Use? Why? I'm upgrading my DDC in a month. Have decided on the Audio GD DI-20HE. Have a few mods booked in for it in the UK before I receive it. |
