| Outdoor/pool.deck system Wow, so just as I thought you guys have "enlightened" me to various options. I didn't think about the mono thing, which makes total sense. Also, I didn't think about the speaker "zones" and impedance issues. I guess my best bet is to try and antic... | |
| 12AU7 tubes for a Rouge Audio Sphinx V3 Integrated My rogue set up is ST100 power amp with RP1 pre, so not sure if this is helpful. I've experimented with a handful of tubes in the 12au7 and 12ax7 spots and best combo for me without a doubt was Mazda 12au7 and Telefunken smooth plate 12ax7. I was... | |
| Classical? Chinese Music On a family trip to Epcot in Orlando, FL... We went to the "Japan" area store and I came across some of the coolest CD's that introduced me to Erhu music. It's called the Healing Collection. Look for it on Spotify or Qubuz it's on there. Very beau... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II @painter24 Yes indeed, reached out to Alvin and he confirmed that the USB out on the new node is the best way to hook it up. He said the coax out on the node may not be compatible with the denefrips in high res possibly due to a lower the normal v... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II @joshindc The problem was that even though he was using high quality coax cables, there is an incompatibility issue between the bluesound node and denefrips dacs when feeding with coax cables. Even on the newest version of the node, this issue exi... | |
| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? @sudnh thanks for pointing this out, I moved my project DAC to my living room system, so it's still very much in use paired up with some old Dynaco amps. I looked it up, price seems pretty reasonable if it works really good. I wonder if this would... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II @jaudio1 The Node 2i and older have no USB. The newest version NOde which the OP has DOES have a USB out. I am aware of this, because I own the latest version of the node and have tested the coax against the USB and it was a vast difference in sou... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II @painter24 you were definitely using some good quality cabling, however, if you would have used the USB out to the Aries it may have made all the difference. I'm only assuming this because that's what happened with my Pontus. Not sure if the USB i... | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II "Just wondering how you connected your blue sound to the Pontus, cuz this could be why you were underwhelmed. " Sorry meant to say the Aries. What did you use to connect the Node to the Aries? | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II I recently purchased the Pontus, been in my system for 2 weeks. I also have the latest blue sound node. I bought the Pontus to replace my project DAC and the internal dac on the Node. I was also happy with the node internal dac for a while, but g... | |
| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? So its been a handful of days, more "break in" happening, and a couple emails with Alvin @ Vinshine. He was kind enough to answer my questions rather quickly, I can only imagine how many emails this man has to answer from noobs like myself, god bl... | |
| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? @arafiq I have the new node, and the USB most certainly made a difference. The toslink I had laying around, which was a 3 ft radio shack cheapy, like you said sounded possibly marginally better but not anywhere near the USB. Trying to figure out i... | |
| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? *break in 🤣 | |
| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? The coax cable is 2 ft long Canare by blue jean cables. @mr_m exactly. Is this a weakness of the node, the pontus, random, that's what I'm trying to figure out. I've sent out an email to Vinshine. It would be nice to know what this means for my s... | |
| Denefrips Pontus "burn in" period? @mrdon wasn't looking for validation, was looking for some kind of explanation on why my super high quality deck wasn't sounding that impressive rolling up on day 10. I couldn't get the thing to sound that much different than my project dac or eve... |
