| Hermes added, question Not familiar withe the Symphony, but maybe remove from the chain to eliminate it. Saying this, I experienced similar when initially connected my Iris to my old Ares 12th-1; I thought I'd hit on the correct configuration (010, 000, 100 etc) but I ... | |
| A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC I’ve had my Pontus 15th since June running in NOS, but just flipped to OS just last week to see which I liked best. I’m undecided which I like best to be honest. It’s not night and day different, but NOS mode is a little more organic sounding to m... | |
| Atoll IN200SE Integrated Amplifier Not that I'm aware of, but if you watch A British Audiophile's review of the IN200 on YT (he does an IN300 review too, but I don't recall much about that video), he gives a good tour/overview of the inside 👍 | |
| Pop album that has stood the test of time I was a teen in the 80’s, so grew up on this stuff, so these artists and albums carry a lot of nostalgia and happy memories, but for me they have stood the test of time and hold their own today: Talk Talk - everything they released REM - everyth... | |
| Top 10 Live Albums I'm not a live album lover usually, but 2 I've been listening to for a very long time and revisit quite often are: Tim Buckley - Dream Letter - Live in London 1968 CSNY - Four Way Street The Tim Buckley offering is insanely good; IMHO this is p... | |
| Atoll IN200SE Integrated Amplifier I'm from the UK, there's a dealer who I've bought and sold items with. He has 2 black IN200 Signatures and the IN400 Signature, but no IN300. He ships international. All 3 units are ex-demo from my local dealer. They've cleared their Atoll demo st... | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S Should be fine 👍. I use a 60cm AQ Carbon (shortest length they make), works no problem | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S @tom899 hope you enjoy the Pontus 15th; I've had mine since June. I also moved from an Ares (12th-1). I don't think you'll be disappointed 👍 Let us know what you think once it's arrived Happy Listening 👍😊 | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S As has been pointed out; if the clock in the DMP-A8 isn't as good as that in the Pontus, or indeed a Denafrips DDC, by using I2S out of the streamer in to the Pontus could mean you maybe actually losing performance not gaining any. Whether the c... | |
| Atoll IN200SE Integrated Amplifier Atoll have recently launched their new Evo line which I believe replaces the Signature line. You may see more "Signature" amps coming on the pre-loved market soon. The new Evo line still follows the same naming conventions apart from the "Evo"; ... | |
| Help with Denafrips Iris 12th to Ares 12th-1 - I2S, no audio Hi OP I had the exact same setup, and experienced the same problem with the Iris via IS2 into the Ares 12th-1. What worked for me was, with the 2 units connected, unplug both from the mains, leave for a minute or 2 and try again. I'm not sur... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 Thanks guys. I never did go with the Eversolo in the end. The less than favourable comments on AG regarding Firmware issues and general customer support put me off. I stuck with my Innuos Zen Mini mkiii | |
| Do you have a perfect digital marriage? Ok here goes 😊 Innuos Zen Mini mkiii w/ Innuos LPS -> USB to Denafrips Iris DDC -> Denafrips Pontus 15th The qualities you quoted: "Organic, clean, musical, great separation of instruments, dynamic" Are exactly those I experience and ... | |
| Should I add a DDC? Great, thanks guys, well done, you've got me thinking Hermes too now 🤣 | |
| Should I add a DDC? Yep, with the Pontus 👍 |
