| Shunyata Delta or Alpha V2 NR vs. AQ Hurricane HC My townhouse is a new build, 5 years old, with new overhead wiring and a new transformer only 20m from my house in a gated development. The sound I get there is free of hash and I use a Plixir 3000 power conditioner which doesn't filter. It's a b... | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse After much procrastination went ahead and ordered a SR Master Fuse for my Power Conditioner. SR recommends putting a Master Fuse in either the DAC or Power Conditioner to begin with. Since the Power Conditioner is the only gear that doesn't have ... | |
| Cloning an SSD for a Music Streamer There is a free Windows program called SyncToy. It will automatically keep two USB/HDD or SSDs identical for backup purposes, like RAID or to use another drive on another system or in the car etc. Everytime you add files to one drive the second ... | |
| Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' DSOTM has had the a$$ played out of it, even WYWH is jaded. I prefer Ummagumma these days. | |
| Jethro Tull “Thick as a Brick” CD revisited The Steve Wilson remixes are the best. Aqualung was a terrible recording even in SACD. Steve have done a great job. | |
| Beatles vs. Stones For all you septics that have got it a$$ about face, the Beatles were Scousers, means from Liverpool. Mick and Keef are from Dartford in Kent and had Souf London accents, Mick later adopted a US southern drawl. Brian was the brains of the operat... | |

| New Synergistic Master Fuse @ozzy Oh dear, guess I'll need one for my streamer and one for my DAC. Are you using the same size fuses for your gear or going up one level as recommended for Purple? Thanks. | |
| i2S clock question @designsfx That should be easy to ascertain by using just the USB with and then without the Iris. Apples for apples. | |
| i2S clock question @soix Before you connected the Iris your DAC’s USB input and card most likely took over processing duties from your Zen. However that is not possible with the Iris connected. As i said earlier the Iris is not a clock, it’s a re-clocker, so it re... | |
| Educate me about DSD @soundboy sa-cd.net has been superseded by hraudio.net Doesn't it say that on the front page? Or are you just trying to be a dick? We are talking SACD only not other Hi-Rez | |
| i2S clock question @soix The Iris re-clocks the signal it receives from your source, reducing jitter and converting the source signal to I2s, AES, Coax etc. It does not slave your DAC. The Iris can also be connected to a Terra or Aether clock to further reduce jitt... | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse @cincyjim Fuse bottom right-hand corner | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse Thanks guys I'll be ordering one for my DAC next week, but with the 30 day return I could try one in my power conditioner too...... | |
| Cary CD 306 SACD player vs newer Marantz SA 10 CD/SACD player If your Cary is in good working order you'd be better off getting a new separate DAC. Looking at the guts of the Marantz it doesn't look impressive. |
