| Jazz like this? Suggestions @dougsat thanks for that. I had the "On Vacation" album already listed a couple of weeks ago, which I really like, I've added "The Good Life" too and will explore Mr Bronner more. I've listed Carl Winther for tomorrow's listening session as well ... | |
| Jazz like this? Suggestions @gosta @ps thanks for the suggestions both. I'll check these out. I did have Roon a while back but preferred the Innuos app sound-wise, but that's a different conversation 🤔🥴, maybe I'll give it another go; my system has evolved since then. | |
| Left RCA out on DAC not working @jea48 that's the thing; the first ICs I used were the Lavri/AECO, it was only some time later I wanted to try copper ICs instead of the silver Lavri, and I discovered the problem. I feel it maybe as you say; the AECO's longer center pin may hav... | |
| Left RCA out on DAC not working @jea48 you're correct of course re: the ground pin on the AECO plugs, and yes the centre pins are longer than normal, which may account for why the AECO plugs work......would this mean the left RCA out plug onbthe DAC is in someway faulty? | |
| Left RCA out on DAC not working @jea48 thanks again; I've tried different inputs on my integrated, no problems there, and also what you described lastly. I'm kind of resigned myself with it as I am getting a replacement, but it's just the wait. | |
| Left RCA out on DAC not working @jea48 thanks for taking the time with this; I'll take another closer look. If I'm wrong about the AECO, any idea why the left channel would only work with these plugs, but no others? Seems a bit odd, even to my ignorant brain (in these matters)... | |
| Left RCA out on DAC not working @jea48 HI, thanks for your reply. The AECO plugs have no metal on the plug shrouds inside, apart from the pin, whatsoever. The Lavri/AECO work perfectly. With other ICs, that have metallic shrouds, the left channel just doesn't work. The right ch... | |
| Cen. Grand DSDAC 1.0 (vs Pontus II) @soix thanks for your kind words; extremely generous 😊👍 | |
| Lack of Female Representation @toro3 i had a similar experience at my local HiFi dealer in Summer'21 when I went to audition equipment for my return to Hifi after 20 odd years out of the hobby. I couldn't drive at the time, so my partner (soon to be wife😊) had to drive me; I ... | |
| Cen. Grand DSDAC 1.0 (vs Pontus II) Thanks @soix 👍 Christmas was busier than I envisaged, so didn't get to spend as much time with the new DAC as I would have liked, but I did squeeze some listening in. Apart from the observations I've already highlighted, I'm starting to hear a w... | |
| Why is everyone so down on MQA? MQA was not really a solution for a problem that didn't exist; to my mind, it was a thinly veiled, cynical attempt to ring fence and monopolise the streaming market. It was never about giving the end user a superior listening experience. | |
| Cen. Grand DSDAC 1.0 (vs Pontus II) Quick update on my OP; I did place an order with the importer/distributor, but not for the Pontus II. I ordered the base (Standard model) Cen. Grand DSDAC 1.0, it arrived yesterday Just some early observations: Build quality - nice and solid, we... | |
| Tube-Curious/Pre-amp Wow, thanks for all the time spent replying to my OP, genuinely appreciated. I think I need to do more reading and research - lots of brands suggested I had no previous awareness of. First decision I think will be pre-amp, or additional tube inte... | |
| Tube-Curious/Pre-amp Hey guys, Thanks so much for all of these suggestions; my bad, I should have stated, I'm in the UK and don't fancy shipping pre-loved. Saying that, the suggestions have given me some good starting points. @hilde45 thanks for the heads-up re: th... | |
| Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality I've had the ENO for a couple of months, feeding my Zen Mini Mkiii with Innuos LPS. It was a very nice uplift, to put it mildly. I couldn't stretch to the Muon; maybe further down the line 🤔😁 My ethernet chain is; TP-Link Archer - Cat6a 15m run ... |
