| Isolation feet/cones for PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC I’m going to give the DH a try. PS Audio uses a large toroidal transformer in this small device. | |
| 16 bit is good enough..... Thanks @nonoise . What was the price? Are there good drum solos or is it more of an acoustic effects album?(Former drummer here). | |
| 16 bit is good enough..... Can't find this cd on Google. Do you know if it will become available? | |

| Isolation feet/cones for PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC BDR cones also work well, but for my pine wood shelves, I keep going back to Herbies.https://www.musicdirect.com/vibration-control/bdr-cones | |
| Isolation feet/cones for PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC Itsik, I placed the Herbies in the front corners and one in the rear. The sound is more defined, most noticeably in the low-end. I’m thinking about trying a damping weight on top, but it may not need it since the NuWave is pretty heavy for its siz... | |
| Isolation feet/cones for PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC I'm using (3) Herbies Tenderfeet under my NuWave DSD DAC. Whatever footers you decide to use, I suggest using three rather than four due to the dimensions of the unit and to have minimal contact with the shelf.On my Perfectwave transport I use 4 t... | |

| Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own). Need to know how many watts you are pushing...tube or SS amp? Can't choose speakers without knowing how much current you have available. | |
| Is Spiking Necesarry? Are the speakers on carpet or flooring? One option is to decouple the speaker from the floor by placing the spikes into isolation bases.See Herbie's...http://herbiesaudiolab.net/base.htmor Decoupling Glider... http://herbiesaudiolab.net/spkrfeet.htm | |
| WHAT HAS WORKED FOR YOU? ISOLATION PLATFORMS, FOOTERS, ETC. for a DAC? Definitely footers under the DAC. The cheap stock footers used by Schiit offer no isolation. Herbie's Tenderfeet will absorb and neutralize vibration. As stated above, placement of footers makes a difference.Also, a damping weight on top helps whe... | |
