| Isolation footers for ATC SCM100A Thanks @buellrider97 for the info re your process, and the thread, which I've also been following. I will definitely reach out to Stack Audio and Tough Nut to see what they recommend regarding the stands, etc. And thanks @pindac for the note abo... | |
| Isolation footers for ATC SCM100A Thanks @soix I’ve been interested in moving to active ATCs for awhile. This pair of 100s are 30 years old, but they’ve been checked by an authorized ATC service department, and they’re in great shape. So I couldn’t resist! Thanks for the link... | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer Question for T/H users: are you running tube or SS amps? I run SS, and don’t have any audible hum or buzzing. Do you think a T/H will make much of an improvement on sound quality? I run a dedicated isolated ground 20A line for my amp, and have a... | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday I dunno if it’s just me, but… I’m hearing a slight collapsing of the soundstage and possibly a touch less brightness when using Qobuz Connect vs the Lumin app, on my Lumin U2. I recognize this shouldn’t be possible, should it? I felt it right o... | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday Aha, a Qobuz app update on my iPhone did the trick. Now I see my Lumin U2 on the list. Works as advertised. Best, JAMES. | |
| Qobuz Connect Launched Yesterday Is anyone able to find out how to use it with an iOS device to control the streamer, a la Tidal Connect? I can see Qobuz Connect on the Mac app, but can't see it on my iPhone/iPad. Thanks, JAMES. | |
| Hlep chosing a streamer/server for my DAC Hello: I'd toss in a recommendation for the Lumin U2. It's an excellent streamer, bullet-proof, solid build, built-in optical ethernet, dedicated USB HQ output module, excellent tech support, and works well with their Lumin app, Tidal Connect (o... | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer @alvin1118 One other question: does the US plug model come in the Grey finish, or only Silver? Thanks, JAMES. | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer Hi @alvin1118 I’m intrigued by the Tai Hang. A couple questions: - can it be placed near other equipment, or do you recommend a further distance to avoid any interference? - the images show the device with silver ’pucks’ underneath the attache... | |
| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion @sns Would you have information about the Mundorf silver/gold DC cables? I see there are various gauges/types available. You DIY-ed the cables, correct? I would be ordering from Parts Connexion in Canada. Thanks, JAMES. | |
| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion Also forgot to mention, don't have an LPS on the fibre modem...had issues with a previous modem that died after 6 months, with an LPS attached. I like my fibre internet, and don't wanna risk messing it up! | |
| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion @sfpeloton Thanks for the detailed response regarding your LPS adventures. I've got a cheap 'n cheerful Topping LPS powering two switches: a TP Link for the computer network/wifi stuff, and a TrendNet switch for the audio side. After experimen... | |
| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion @sfpeloton Yes, the Lumin/Bricasti seems to be a lovely pairing. Really enjoying it. Took a look at your system page - nice stuff! For DSD playback, did you have to set Roon to play DSD over DoP? I tried sending native DSD via upsampling on ... | |
| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion @sfpeloton I’m loving the M3. It’s a significant improvement to my system. Very musical and articulate. I run the OM via fibre direct into a Lumin U2, then to the Bricasti via Lumin’s dedicated USB port. My M3 doesn’t have the Ethernet option... | |
| Advice on Optical Ethernet Conversion Thanks for your comment, @sfpeloton I meant to circle back to say I ended up purchasing the OpticalModule Deluxe with a SGC linear power supply. In testing it with the cheaper FMC, I would say the audible difference was marginal, but the overal... |
