| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? Waiting until someone makes a class A class DSome speakers like Magnepans need current I prefer 60 watts of class A to 1200 watts of class D | |
| Uptone EtherRegen I have both. I like them both but they are different. In my system the EE just made the sound sweeter and easier to listen to. I use the ER with fiber and an external clock and it strips away layers of noise, adds blackness. The ER with clock ... | |
| Best Bang for your Buck DAC ? I have 3 "audiophile switches" each with their own LPS. Not sure if any of them are highly overpriced or priced just right, but each as added a benefit. I have tried removing each and quickly put them back. I have absolutely no buyer regret wi... | |
| Help selecting a power cord. I was stumbling thru various power cords until I purchased 3 used Wywire Silver Juice power cords and heard a definite change for the good. I have since added several Platinum power cords and interconnects and am pleased with the improvement. | |
| dcs bartok vs DENAFRIPS TERMINATOR-PLUS If you decide to audition a Terminator Plus it should be with a Denafrips DDC to use the I2S input to the Plus. I have an Innuos Statement which has an excellent USB out, but converting the USB to I2S makes for a big jump in SQ from the Plus over... | |
| Has anyone added a Master Clock to UpTone EtherREGEN Yet? It’s Insane! I agree adding a clock to the ER has a very positive effect. I also found placing the ER closest to an Innuos Statement the best place. I moved my EE 8Switch from that position after adding the clock and it was obvious the ER was best closest to... | |
| Low gain dac! I agree with checking out the W4S dacs. I had 2 tube preamps in series and used the DAC to set the volume controls at 12 oclock. It is easy to attenuate the dacs output. | |
| CD v Streamed I decided a while ago that ripping a CD to a music server sounded better than the CD. I do not have an uber CD player- maybe that's the issue. There is no question in my system that music played from the server is much better than Tidal or Qobuz... | |
| Innuos update 1.4.8 no issues installing 1.4.8 | |
| Problems with Innuos Music Library missing covers No problems with the update here. | |
| Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system I am using a Mutec Ref10 to clock a SOtM switch and Uptone EtherRegen. Unquestionable benefits. Not sure if I have a real world system. It did reveal to me a harshness I was able to track down to SFP modules between the switches, got that fixed... | |
| Is Innuos Zenith or Statement Overkill with a High-End Streaming DAC? Source matters but will only sound as good as the weakest links in a system. I have found Roon to be a weak link and hard to get around. Roon will definitely sound worse on your iMac. Innuos lets you use squeezelite as the player with Experimen... | |
| USB sucks Not just the Marketers! I also am using and ENO USB cable and Ethernet filter. They are sweet and highly recommended. They absolutely made an immediate and unmistakable change. | |
| Class D for a Tube Lover I had Wyred 4 Sound amps with class A tube pre amps and it is a good pairing. W4S tend to be a bit warm also. If your speakers are higher sensitivity then a high power amp may not be good pairing as your pre amp will not be in the sweet spot whi... | |
| What is the average life expectancy of a DAC? @jaytor I have a similar DAC path, only with a Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2 DSD v2.2 in between my Yggy and Terminator. I recognized the benefits of moving up the DAC chain, my experience has been better DAC's cost more.I found the Yggy better than my CD ... |
