| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? I received an email from Denafrips Europe today, advertising the 15th versions; this is a copy & paste from the email: "The Enyo 15th matches the sound quality of the Ares 12.1, the Pontus 15th matches the Venus 12.1, and the Terminator 15th ... | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? I've still no idea what is going on with Denafrips/Vinshine; I'm not sure if there actually is a parting of ways, as down in the shipping notes on the Denafrips site, the notes reference Vinshine several times re: EU and UK VAT/Duty, so nope, no i... | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! @tksteingraber your experience with Josh/Stack Audio matches mine withe 2 purchases I've made with them so far. It's great to see. Just a quick update on my SL; I swapped the Network Acoustics streaming cable for my DH Lab Reunion after work, bet... | |
| Qobuz Connect working Beta demonstration....yay! @dogearedaudio glad you jumped in there; I don't even know what Chromecast actually is 😄 | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! @teknorob23 ah ok, thanks for this. I knew the ENO was no longer available but didn't know there was a new version in the pipeline. Don't think I'll be trying it though; the ENO was around £700+, £900+ with the NA streaming cable; no doubt the ENO... | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! @audphile1 I feel that's what I am hearing now I've contrasted the two units; the ENO is downplaying dynamics compared to the SL. Honestly, I enjoyed my system with the ENO, and was engaged by it, but the SL, albeit on a short initial comparison, ... | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! I received my Smooth Lan yesterday. Didn’t get to plug it in until I finished work, so about 4:30, so didn’t listen much. The SL was slotted in between my LHY SW8 switch and Innuos Zen Mini mkiii, replacing the Network Acoustics ENO. I kept the ... | |
| Qobuz Connect working Beta demonstration....yay! Some people prefer the streaming company's own app; it's interface, playlist creation/saved playlists, recommendations algorithm etc. | |
| Qobuz Connect working Beta demonstration....yay! Apologies, I think the email was to Qobuz users who had signed up to the "Qobuz Club". I had to login to view the demo video | |
| Qobuz Connect working Beta demonstration....yay! As you can with Tidal and others, you can use the Qobuz native app to stream direct (Connect) to your streamer and bypass the streamers own app. Probably not the most technical of explanations but that's it in a nutshell | |
| MQA....again. Personally, not a lot. Cassettes probably hold a place of nostalgia for a lot of folks, me included, and bringing them back probably won't involve one company attempting to create an unnecessary, proprietary tech/means of playing them, and licensi... | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! I've just ordered one; looking forward to seeing how it stacks up against the Network Acoustic ENO (no pun intended) | |
| Denafrips -Bashing Denafrips New 12th anniversary models I've had the Ares 12th-1, and now Pontus 15th, ran both with an Iris 12th; no problems whatsoever, with either. | |
| DSD coming to Qobuz streaming? Wonder if DSD will involve a new subscription tier above the current top tier? I'll give it a go regardless, although I imagine the DSD catalogue may be modest to begin with | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? Below is the email reply from Alvin which I received yesterday. I highlighted how the current lack of transparency over the 15th situation was not doing either Denafrips or Vinshine any favours, or words to that affect: Good day. Indeed, I unders... |
