| Streamers and software Just another guy chipping in with a Node to Innuos success story. Loved BluOS for years, had my Node pimped with a linear PSU, sound quality great. Added a Mutec MC3+ which tightened up the timing (better clocking of the bitstream)... ... but the... | |
| Innuos Zen MK3 tips and tricks @bassbuyer If you look at the rear panel of the Zen Mini Mk3 you will see the DC inlet accepts 9-24v. I have it on good authority that, if everything else were to stay the same, simply turning up the wick to provide a higher DC input voltage will... | |
| Recommendations for LPS for Innuos Pulse Mini I use the Zen Mini LPSU with mine and it’s excellent. I did manage to find a pre-owned one though, which significantly reduced the cost. | |
| Home network router question @timothy468 I like your thinking | |
| Home network router question @emergingsoul @cleeds I prefer hard-wired too but some people don't have the option. Networked audio is one of those unusual areas in which you're really not better off solving a problem at its source; it's better to address noise as close to the... | |
| Home network router question @erik_squires An optical link is a great way to not only protect your system from lightnings/storms but, depending on where in your network you place it, to also reduce the amount of RFI noise reaching your system. Have you tried one and rueld it ... | |
| Streaming, Getting the Signal, Then What? Apologies @veemike but some people seem to know how to quote and I can't figure it out... extract of your opening post follows: "My PS Audio AirLens into a PS Audio DirectStream DAC MK1 gets its signal from a Netgear Nighthawk CAX80 modem/router... | |
| Good quality SPDIF 75ohm BNC and RCA plugs - which ideally match aesthetically too! Good call and definitely the way to go if you like that cable and like those connectors, as it's the best value for money way of obtaining both. I might well end uo back here after exploring and prototyping with Canare, Telegartner etc. I may ... | |
| Good quality SPDIF 75ohm BNC and RCA plugs - which ideally match aesthetically too! Thanks @mitch2. Agreed, I am determined to get the wires right first but then want to give them the finish they deserve. I'm tempted to go with Canare or Telegartner for the prototyping as they tick a load of boxes at the right price - the challe... | |
| Good quality SPDIF 75ohm BNC and RCA plugs - which ideally match aesthetically too! @oddiofyl Thanks, will take a look at Wireworld though I’m really looking to make up my own cables so pasternack is of real interest. | |
| Good quality SPDIF 75ohm BNC and RCA plugs - which ideally match aesthetically too! @steakster Thanks, will check that out. I’m not sure why anyone would choose palladium over the many more conductive metals out there so will read with interest. | |
| Good quality SPDIF 75ohm BNC and RCA plugs - which ideally match aesthetically too! EDIT: 1) I guess I could use BNC-RCA converters but I would imagine the purists would steer away from these. 2) I'm surprised Furutech don't state whether their RCA adaptors are 50 ohm or 75 ohm. Obviously ideally I'd like the latter. | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC Belated apologies to @cleeds as I appear to have been channeling him without acknowledging the same! | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC I'm not sure how many people who might say "well that's dCS off my list" ever had dCS on their list... I am delighted with the sound quality my aging Puccini + U-Clock continue to deliver and will upgrade to the Rossini when funds allow. Hey, as a... | |
| All Hail the meek --yet mighty – NODE 2i I'm in the Node 2i fanboy camp. Loved mine for years, delighted with the interface (BluOS app). I pimped mine with an external Sean Jacobs linear PSU and it stepped up a league. The Mutec MC-3 gave it a further boost. I then auditioned an Innuos P... |
