| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Regarding use of MiniDSP Flex for digital domain volume control, the specifications state that the SPDIF digital outputs have a sample rate of 96khz. Sounds like this would be a limiting factor going into the GAN 1 which can accept up to 192khz r... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @abd1 Would love to be able to listen to the Cubes. I'm planning on using the Camerton Binom's for my active setup. A GaN1 per side driving the Cam's and Purifi woofers. I'll start with the MiniDSP SHD as the front end and look to see how it ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @pindac After reading through some to the cable description, AR seems like they prefer that the conductors are run in parallel. May have to try another version with this config and leaving their insulation intact. Marty | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @clsidx - Assuming that was directed to me. It is AR SPC. here is a description link | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @pindac Cables done. 30" length, 19awg AR Triple C for +/-, Neotech OCC (16awg) ground. Stripped the AR shielding (teflon tubing), config using Steve’s Helix design.... See my system for pics. Have to say, listening to my go to songs, maybe b... | |
| Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? @mitch2 - I'm very happy with Steve's Helix design. I have used silver from Chris in the past, but OCC solid copper (partsconnexion) with teflon and the Helix wrap has become my reference. About to try a triple C (Acoustic Revive) wire to see i... | |
| Has anyone ever tried cables made with OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) Copper? OP - no brainer for me when I moved to all OCC solid core cabling. I make all my cables and you can find OCC bulk cabling and low mass connectors (ETI/KLE, AECO, etc) at reasonable pricing from several places. Partsconnexion and Venhaus being my... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I have both and they are really good! The GaN1 opens up options to simplify a dedicated streaming configuration. Although, I’m planning on using two of them in an active setup using a miniDSP SHD on the front end. I have one already hooked up and ... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @mbmi I think the combo is $1700... $300 for the node is a good deal | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta just ordered a 2nd....looking forward to bi-amping and using a miniDSP SHD for an active system... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Yeah, I'm not going to add RCA/BNC adapters to the mix. We'll never find a streamer that has a BNC digital coax connector. I remember the old days using BNC, just liked the secure connection. As I mentioned in the previous post, may run the co... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Ok. So for anyone that cares, here are my mods to the GaN1. 1. Replaced power inlet/fuse with a pure copper (Viborg) IEC. 2. Replaced internal power wiring with VenHaus 12awg wire. 3. Added KLE copper binding posts 4. Triple C (Audio R... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Here is a link to a review of a bunch of digital cables (all with bnc connectors). The same difference would still be there if using rca connectors. This will give you an idea of the differences EVERYTHING makes. We have only just begun! Curiou... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta On one had you rave about the sound.....and then with the other hand you say its best use is using it with cheap streamers in a secondary system......HUH? How can you be raving about the sound in your main system and say this? My statement shou... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta What really caught me was how dead silent this thing is. I'm primarily listening to audio from my OLED TV and it is tremendous (thru my Rose 150). Voicing is amazing and watching sports (ESPN) is impressive. Don't know how much the Rose helps (... |
