| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S @soix @fthompson251 So my cheapie USB cable showed up today and I conected the A8 and the Pontus with it. HOLY SCHNIKEYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had heard glimpses of what the Pontus could do with the I2S and Toslink connections, but this was comp... | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S I am listening in NOS mode, I heard that would provide the warmest presentation. Do you think the OS would be warmer? The Pontus is equally adept with 44.1k files - no problem there! It's really just the brightness that is troubling me. | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S I was doing some A/B testing with the Pontus and A8 tonight. My top two choices for brightness testing are anything from Miles Davis in the sixties and anything from Bob Dylan in the sixties or early seventies: Those high trumpet and harmonica n... | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S @soix I'm also gonna try RCA output from the Pontus to isolate that as well. In theory it should sound worse, but I figure why not rule that out. | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S @soix Not at all, I really appreciate the feedback! I agree in principle and would like to upgrade my Yammy. In this instance, I know it is not helping but I'm not sure how much it is hurting because if it was really bad the A8 would sound like a... | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S It's the RXA-3080. Getting a little long in the tooth now, but it passes the signal "straight" with no EQ applied, balanced XLR in and balanced XLR out. The HDMI cable is way longer than 1 foot, I think it's 2 meters (it was an open box special!). | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S Tonight I'm going to try RCA out and see if that makes a difference. And I ordered USB and coaxial cables to try tomorrow. I've read in a couple different threads that USB worked the best on the Pontus. | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S Thanks so much for the guidance! I guess the question is, how bright was your Terminator before it settled down? I listened to the Pontus on Saturday and Sunday. It's Wednesday and my ears still hurt, so I'm just concerned about just how much i... | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S tom899, I have the same setup as you. I just plugged everything in a few days ago, and i have to say that I find the Pontus too bright for my ears. I bought the Pontus because although I found the A8 to have a rich, smooth and detailed sound, ... | |
| Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer @1happyman Got it!! Thanks for sharing your experience with it. | |
| Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer @1happyman Very interested in your take on this! I have an A8 in my cabinet right now and really, really enjoying it, but I am wondering if I should demo a Gustard R26 before my return window runs out..... You didn't find the sound of the R26 mo... |
