| Denafrips Iris12th - signal out to Ares 12th-1 SOLVED: removed PC from Ares and Iris, left to sit a couple of mins then powered back up -> Bingo! 👍 I2S signal and music 😊 | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. Owned: Areas 12th-1 so far; this has kept my Cen Grand DSDAC 1.0 Super Clock off my rack for 6 weeks, and I don't feel like I'll be changing this anytime soon. The Cen Grand is 3x the cost of the Ares, but it doesn't come close to sheer enjoyment ... | |
| Connection options from Node to Denafrips Iris to Pontus From memory, the USB on the Node N130 received a firmware update which enabled it to output to an external DAC. I don't think this was the case with earlier versions of the Node | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 @pinwa Thanks very much for your reply; this is really helpful. To me, the A8 is a very intriguing product; I may buy one despite not being able to do what I proposed. It just seems like such a fun, feature packed piece of kit, and from everyt... | |
| FYI - QOBUZ SERVICES WILL BE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE Thanks for the heads -up 👍. I think I can manage without for 30mins 😄 | |
| To loom or not to loom? I've been heading in this direction myself. I was drawn to the fact your using DH Lab cables. I was looking for a reasonably priced USB cable from Streamer to DAC and ended up with DH Lab's Mirage. I wasn't expecting much difference to what I had... | |
| Suggested Power Cable for Streamer I have the NRG Custom "The Five"; maybe feed your PSM156 with it from the wall, and maybe consider Triode Wire Labs "American Digital II" PC for your Zenith. I have this set-up, very good | |
| Neat "Tweaks" to improve the SQ of your streamed music!!! I've recently bought an ifi LAN iSilencer, used between router and Netgear switch, which feeds my Network Acoustic ENO filter -> streamer. For £89, it made a nice incremental improvement, similar to your descriptions. I'll be swapping out the ... | |
| Update on good Ethernet switch I’ve been tossing the idea around for a while of a LHY SW8, but was going to upgrade my streamer first. But with funds not yet available for this, I pushed the button on the LHY. Stupidly, I forgot about the Chinese New Year Celebrations, and ord... | |
| When you can't unhear ! I've just had a similar experience to OP My "current" DAC is the Cen Grand DSDAC 1.0 Super Clock, which is a fine DAC, absolutely nothing wrong with it but ..... I've had an itch to re-try R2R DACs again. I had the Ares II about 2yrs ago or so b... | |
| on the cheap I second audiophile1; the Wiim pro +. My friend installed one in his budget system before Christmas and it sounds absolutely great, especially for the money 👍 No CD storage though (as far as I'm aware) | |
| Sound and Music I will admit to falling into the "trap" you've highlighted. After a long hiatus, I re-started my HiFi hobby; with all the new technological and evolutionary developments in gear since I last dabbled (some 25yrs ago), I was like a kid in a sweetsho... | |
| Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio Another guy I enjoy is Simon of 13th Note HiFi | |
| Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio +1 @hilde45 Nice thread. I enjoy all the YTubers mentioned, for the very reasons you've highlighted. I have my favourites; Tarun, Harvey Lovegrove, Steve Guttenberg, Jay's Iyagi, Thomas &, Stereo (love Thomas's demeanor and delivery, makes m... | |
| Qobuz Issues? @mhwilliford Happy Days! Glad you're all sorted and back in action 👍 |
