| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference? Ironic talking about "the spend more" cult when the new flagship iPhone sells for £1500. 😧. That would easily buy you a Innuos Pulse mini and a whole host of very good streamers | |
| So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about. I may be missing the OP's point, forgive me if so but, if I want to explore or discuss music for music's sake, I read music publications and online resources; if I want to explore the potential of a hifi component with a view to that component rel... | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? The practice of launching new versions so often is a little annoying, especially if you’re someone who bought a 12th. Correct me if I’m wrong, I think the 12th versions were launched in 2022 followed by the 12th-1’s in early 2023, and now the 15th... | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? From the Denafrips site, it states they have used silver wiring internally, and upgraded firmware for the FPGA chip. I think someone else posted some spec changes There may be more than this of course | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? @audiostick hi, I already had the Iris 12th, which I was feeding the Ares 12th-1. I've read multiple times that a Pontus and Iris pairing takes you almost to the Venus, so I went with the Pontus. I also had earmarked money for other HiFi stuff, su... | |
| Zavfino prima mk2 speaker cables Thanks @soix I was using NRG Custom Cables - "6:6" made by Nawaz in Canada. Great for the money, but I found them a little thick in the lower mids. They were great with my Triangles I had before the ATC’s, but I wanted to try something that... | |
| Zavfino prima mk2 speaker cables Thanks to Zavfino’s UK distributor I purchased the cables through, I received my Prima mkii’s and 2 sets of jumpers this morning. Free shipping, and guaranteed next day delivery. Can’t argue with that for a start. The packaging for the cables too... | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? Just a quick update on the Pontus 15th After 24hrs, not much change from initial power-up; some nice things going on - as mentioned, bass was tightening up with greater definition After 48hrs - Meh! Just sounded all over the place, a bit of a ho... | |
| Zavfino prima mk2 speaker cables I will do. Thanks @mclinnguy 👍 | |
| Zavfino prima mk2 speaker cables I've just ordered a pair of Prima mkii speaker cables and jumpers from Zavfino's UK distributor with a return option if I don't like them. Read so much about Zavfino, all positive, plus @williewonka 's recommendation for those of us who do not po... | |
| Denafrips Terminator 2 bs. ? @bobbyloans absolutely! "Silk Degrees" - I love the way it's been recorded. Drums and bass are done just how I like to hear them. And yep, even with the little Ares the album sounds great. Haven't listened to it with the Pontus 15th yet, but I wil... | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? @audiostick on the top banner on the Denafrips webpage, at least when I looked yesterday, it features only the Pontus and Terminator as having 15th versions at the moment. I'm sure the Venus will get the same treatment eventually | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? I've received a response from Alvin re: the 15th versions; Good day! My apologies for the late reply. I am currently on a business trip with limited internet access. Pontus 15th is the latest variant. You're one of the lucky customers who receiv... | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? I couldn't make out much other than silver internal wiring, and new FPGA firmware (for the Pontus 15th) but there is probably more. Looking forward to one of Alvin's YT vids on this; he's got a lot of catch-up after his trip away 🤔🫣 | |
| Denafrips Terminator 2 bs. ? @soix I agree; I think they dropped the ball on this one. I respect Denafrips and their products a great deal, but for Vinshine to not seem to be aware of the 15th DACs being shipped seems odd. @bill_k thanks for this. I've seen the Pontus 15th i... |
