| Lightening damage - any hope? Are you sure it was Ethernet issue and not power mains spike? It is pretty common for storms to cause voltage spikes. This is why I have surge protection for the entire home. Now, have you checked fuses? They may have been blown. | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... @ossicle2brain I wonder what makes you think that. Streams are not that much different from CD and CDs are not error-free media (bit wise) while networks are. | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! @milpai - just 100 mbps gives me pause since it means cheap low end components in $250 unit? Why is not capable of 1GB at least. | |
| Preamp for Parasound A21+ with Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 speakers Oh boy, are you are a kindergarten teacher or everyone’s mother. No one asks YOU to be spending of your precious time. There is enough information on what OP is looking at. Even specific model. @OP - Yeah, I would first stick with the same manu... | |

| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? @rhg3 - I recently did a lot of experimentation with miniDSP (SHD). It is a good DAC, but not great. Adding it in analog chain may not be a good idea since EQ is digital so the path will involve AD conversion and back. Now, I also tried adding SHD... | |
| Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system? But... it seems you were intentionally going the bright way - silver cables, for example. I'd look at replacing main components first. Pass Labs comes to mind - detailed without being bright yet not as warm as tubes. | |
| What’s your opinion about Dali speakers? Are you looking at them b/c of the hybrid tweeter? | |
| Upgrade Denafrips Terminator 2 @jriggy I went through a simple trade in process - Venus to Terminator. Took three months and in the end they told me to send Venus to Singapore. They did not actually have US rep so they were trying to find an open box buyer for me to ship to. So... | |
| Best streamer for Audio Note UK dacs Avoid what? They used the best chip available at the time. It does have particular sonic signature. I'd say modern AKM with Velvet Sound would be a good replacement. It is same technology, not Delta-Sigma as ESS. The problem is to find AKM board w... | |
| Best streamer for Audio Note UK dacs Maybe someone should take ANK 5.1 kit but put DSD DAC board in it… Business opportunity… sell assembled with newer chipset | |
| Best streamer for Audio Note UK dacs May I suggest trying DAC that is capable of high resolution and yet have tube part? Lampizator perhaps or Audio Research? | |
| Denarips and Vinshine split @upshift - they look like slightly discounted lower end units. I wonder if they are just refurbished units. For example, I upgraded Venus to Terminator. Denafrips is going to sell my former unit somewhere right? | |
| Upgrade Denafrips Terminator 2 Well Denafrips is popular and Vinshine frankly didn’t do much service. Time for Denafrips to grow and have real US representative. | |
| Denarips and Vinshine split So I went and searched and yes, there are few items, but nothing really to destroy a dealer. No high value items at all and prices and not that much lower. B&H Photo used to sell both white and grey items. You see, there is no really white an... |
