| innuos pulse compared to denafrips gaia 12th This issue started in January, prior to the tariff issues. Audioman58 says "I'm not a tech guy." Unit would not have to be shipped back to Asia; if they would give me an RMA, I could ship it to TEK Audio Specialties in Texas. Tech support person a... | |
| innuos pulse compared to denafrips gaia 12th Yes, I have talked extensively to Audioman58 (who sold me the unit) TEK Audio Specialties (who cannot do anything without an RMA from Denafrips) and Denafrips technical support. The problem with the driver to install the firmware downgrade is that... | |
| innuos pulse compared to denafrips gaia 12th Before purchasing any Denafrips product, my advice is to consider their customer service. My experience is that it's terrible to non existent. I have a brand new Hermes 12th DDC that's sitting on a shelf because it won't play 192khz files. The... | |
| Replacement/upgrade for Bluesound and Chord Mojo 2 streamer/external DAC combo I have a Node2i feeding a PS Audio Directstream DAC Mk1 moded by APS Transformers. I've thought about upgrading to a more expensive streamer, but none support the two services that I stream, Idagio and Amazon HD. So I decided to upgrade the N... | |
| Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors Also, if you have cable for internet, check to make sure that it is grounded at the box where it enters the house. We had a lightning strike a few months ago that burned out my modem and router. Could have been worse; could have destroyed my s... | |
| Looking for a new DAC I will never purchase another piece of Denafrips gear. In December I purchased a Hermes 12th DDC. It will not play 24/192 files. I have gone round and round trying to get them to send me an RMA to a service center for repair, and they absolutely... | |
| What happened to the Innous discussion I have a Bluesound Node 2i. I moded it with a TeddyPardo LPS and the improvement in SQ was significant. I'm sticking with the Bluesound rather than moving up to a more expensive streamer because I really like the BluOS operating software. It's t... | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? Dave Brubeck Quartet Live at Carnegie Hall; Jazz Impressions of Eurasia Modern Jazz Quartet Blues on Bach | |
| Just received my LHY Linear Power Supply My experience tracks with other posters on this thread. I moded my Bluesound Node 2i with a TeddyPardo LPS. The improvement was significant!! Because I like the BluOS operating software, and it's the only OS that supports the two streaming serv... | |
| Bluesound Node Icon Owner Impressions I have to agree with soix regarding the LPS. I have a Node2i, using the coaxial digital out into a Denafrips Hermes 12th ddc, then into a modified PS Audio Directstream DAC Mk1. I am using the Node2i rather than a more expensive streamer becau... | |
| Legacy Focus SE or PS Audio FR20 If you are looking for something a little less expensive than the Focus SE, think about the Signature SE. Legacy claims that they are designed for listeners who want the sound of the Focus, but in a smaller form. I've had my Signature SE for al... | |
| Bluesound Node Icon I too am wondering if the streaming section of the new Bluesound Icon is significantly improved from the Bluesound Node 2i that I am presently using. I'm using the Bluesound for the OS; it's the only OS that supports both of the streaming services... | |
| PSAudio Directstream DAC M-1 (refurb) vs Denafrips Venus II. Quick decision needed! I meant "FPGA DAC"; Field Programable Gate Array. | |
| PSAudio Directstream DAC M-1 (refurb) vs Denafrips Venus II. Quick decision needed! I have a PS Audio Directstream Mk1. I sent it to APS Transformers (J K Richards) for modification/upgrade. I thought it was a good DAC to begin with; but after their modification, it's a great DAC!! The mods gave it a better, deeper soundstage... | |
| Where to purchase cables? I too am using Morrow cables. Great cables at a reasonable cost. Plus, they offer the option to burn them in. I was using the lower models of Audioquest previously, and the Morrow cables are a definite improvement. |
