EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S
Why would you want a DDC?  Use I2S from the A8 straight to Pontus.   Less is more!   In my case, I'm very happy with direct I2S from my A8 to a Harmony DAC.  
Eversolo DMP-A8
Understood.   That is an app/SW dependency.   You let me know once you connect the I2s out, if any other outputs are active.  Let me know otherwise.    
Eversolo DMP-A8
@dandion So you have both physical connections from the A8 to your Laiv and amp? I have no output via my analog RCA to my amp (Hifi rose RA180) with the I2S connected. I soon as I remove the I2S connection, the RCA outputs works. Am I missing some... 
Eversolo DMP-A8
Can anyone let me know if you can have both the I2S and analog (RCA) outputs connected at the same time?   I have to physically disconnect the I2S cable if I want to use the A8 DAC section.  I'm using a Laiv Harmony. I was hoping I could have bot... 
Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
Interesting thread. Since these guys are local to me I decided to reach out and learn more. I have been building my own cables for years and followed these simple guidelines....good conductors, low mass or sometimes no connectors and solid connect... 
Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
Ok Please explain to me if an Ohno Continuous Cast process makes silver conductor even better. I have been using OCC copper for years with my DIY cables and do think it does out perform OFC. The folks at Veritas are local to me, so very intereste... 
LAIV Harmony
No quality issues for me with Liav. Hoping this is not FUD. Hoping the competitive entities stand down. Weng, please let us know if your upcoming streamer provides an I2S connection straight to the DAC. I really don’t want to deal with DDCs. Les... 
LAIV Harmony
I've had the Harmony for about a month and it's not going back.  I know nothing about USB interfaces and currently using an OCC based cable and it sounds fantastic.  I may look at some DDCs with I2S, but anticipate that Weng will release their str...

Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables
@reimarc  +1.  Share some pics of the Argon based cables.  I'm intrigued...  
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
Here are my mods. I think Ric charges ~$500.00 Fururtech IEC, no fuse. $10 Chris VenHaus quad star 12awg copper direct to PS board. $20 OCC5N Silver with air dialectic tubing (WillyWonka) 75ohm Digital coax from circuit board to new AECO RCA. ... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
Yes.  I bought one of the first ones in last year.  Did my mods, check my pics. Ordered a second to look at an active vertical speaker config with a Minidsp SHD. No difference in sound.  These amps are dead silent, very impressive.   I have bui... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
Can you imagine that Andrew @peachtree can’t dial in a digital amp. All my same mods don’t make the amp sound any better. If you think changing anything on the PS side enhances the audio, you have another thing coming. Please don’t let Ric tell y... 
What is your experience with the NAD M33?
I remember the M33 on my wish list back in 2020... After having the M10, C658, M33, Evo150, Lyngdorf 3400, I’ll stack rank per @jjss49   3400>M33 > Evo150> M10. Can’t really throw in the 658 (not an all in one). Fast forward to 2023....

@yyzsantabarbara  I should have the Maria next week.   I'm very lucky to be so close to John at Lone Crow.  BTW, he is a great guy. After to talking with Mark for almost an hour, these 200/800s are very interesting devices. I'll PM you with more...
