| I Cried Today Thank you for sharing. The son will appreciate the amplifiers and his father's love and thoughtfulness. Your work will be a part of his life for years to come. | |
| Simple device for downsampling? Not sure what the output voltage is on the Mojo and SMc DACs so I am matching output volume by ear. The 6V output from the Mola Mola DAC seems to add dynamic punch and life to the music, regardless of the output volume. I found the 2V output to ... | |
| Hattor Audio preamps? No apology necessary. Just wanted you to understand that what I hear in my system could be very different than what somebody hears in a system using low-powered tube amps with high efficiency speakers. | |
| Hattor Audio preamps? @toro3 "I know you and @mitch2 have Aric Audio amps and Hattor preamps" @ozzy62 has Aric Audio amps but not me. I have a pair of 650wpc monoblocks made by SMc Audio using formerly McCormack DNA-1 amps as a starting point. Actually, I believ... | |
| Simple device for downsampling? The Mola Mola Tambaqui is here and warmed up so the DAC comparison has started. The comparison is through Roon and it seems both the Mola Mola and the Mojo Audio Mystique evo Pro sound best when connected directly to my Mojo Audio DejaVu server u... | |
| New pre-amplifier? Just be happy they are not charging you for break-in. | |
| Simple device for downsampling? "Is your goal just to compare the two for kicks or to ultimately decide which one to keep?" I have four and will keep two or three. The comparison is for kicks, and the first decision is which of them to keep in my main system. I have a Metrum ... | |
| Simple device for downsampling? I believe the DAC chip is the smaller chip sitting on the red base in the picture of my DAC. Does that conform with where the DAC chip is located in your DAC-1? | |
| Simple device for downsampling? Yeah, I haven’t opened it yet but Patrick told me the original chip only operated to 44.1 kHz so the CS8412 must be the second chip they used as he told me 48 kHz is the limit, which my use so far confirms. At least it seems to accommodate a 24-b... | |
| Simple device for downsampling? Thanks again everyone. The fix within roon settings is a nice solution since the setting is specific to a specific endpoint/zone so, by dedicating this DAC to a specific endpoint, I could then use other DACs with other endpoints/streamers set to ... | |
| Simple device for downsampling? Thanks guys, Eric, I found the setting and set it to 16-bit, 48kHz. A setting within Roon is exactly what I was hoping to find. I will have a chance to listen in a little while and will report back. The DAC I am trying to accommodate is pretty... | |
| Auralic Vega G2.1 vs Lumin T3 I have lifetime Roon accessibility so would probably not go with Aurender in the event I ever did want to go back to using Roon. I also don't like being locked into using gear from only one brand in order to get the best sound. My current server... | |
| Auralic Vega G2.1 vs Lumin T3 @mgrif104 Thank you for the response and suggestions. I have recently stumbled across the Rose RS130 streamer which, based on the current review comments, sounds promising. Word is, it sounds quite good. However, I am skeptical because it see... | |
| Auralic Vega G2.1 vs Lumin T3 I am also evaluating adding an upgraded streamer and I have a couple of new DACs on their way here as well (SMc Audio DAC-2 arrives Friday and my Mola Mola Tambaqui should be here within the week). I am interested in the Auralic Aries G2.2 str... | |
| Power Cables - Third Party or OEM Electricity is indifferent wrt brand names so you don’t need to pay big money, unless you want to, of course. What makes a good power cable? Stranded conductors that are adequately sized for the amperage (14 to 12 awg is typically suitable for... |
