| DAC's and the Two Ground Loop Types @erik_squires I just invested in Computer Audio Designs GC1 and GC3 for grounding. There brochure advises using a GC for either earth ground or the other ground. I am using the GC1 to earth ground my Server/Streamer and the GC3 to sort of star... | |
| Qobuz Hi-Rez Not Necessarily the Best Sound I dropped Tidal as soon as I heard Qobuz even though I preferred the Tidal Playlists. I have found NOS the only way to go and Hi Rez is generally better. I recently added a Computer Audio Design GC1 and GC3, it made everything better but brought... | |
| Need HDMI Cable Input: Knowledge/Comparison Assist, Please This is the cable Alvin recommended for my Denafrips Terminator. It was better than the more expensive AudioQuest Cable I was using. There are US distributors it was around $ 100. | |
| Solid state to tube I have an Allnic L8000 DHT Pre. The DHT sound is intoxicating. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 @chilehed Its been a while since I changed the ENO and SOtm cables. My recollection is better noise reduction effects like less congestion, better details, better separation of instruments and notes. Kind of more of what you get when you add t... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 @chilehed I had a NA ENO Ag filter on the input of my Statement and it was an improvement on whatever I had been using. I now use a SOtM dCBL-CAT7u. In my system it was an improvement on the NA ENO Ag. I moved the NA to my NAS an Antipodes CO... | |
| 432 EVO @jerryg123 100% agree Sense is worlds better than Roon on a Statement and keeps sounding better with improvements. And there is no fee. Lifetime subscription included. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 @skinzy If you haven't, try the Gaia with the Phoenix on your main system with I2S it is better than USB. If you use the clock out with the Gaia and TPlus it is even better. I have a Statement, Iris and TPlus. The quality of the HDMI, USB and... | |
| Innuos 2.1.0 upgrade Gotcha, 2.2.1 now, Thanks | |
| Innuos 2.1.0 upgrade I have been on 2.2 for a while | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Using the Terminators clock out will take your Iris to another level. Look for a used TP and use the savings to upgrade the Power cables, I2S cable and USB cable and Clock cables for the Iris. | |
| Where to invest the most in the "digital chain"? Since your streaming, look at the weak points of streaming before changing DAC’s or room treatments. The SOtM cable 7u is great. Adding an EtherRegen (needs an LPS and better yet a Master-clock also) to use as a “moat” and using the 7u between i... | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up I have the 8Switch and ER and a SOtM switch. I have the 8Switch between the home router and ER (turned around) to moat the signal to the SOtM. I found a SOtM dcbCat7u better between the SOtM switch and my streamer than the ENO Ag in the same pos... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming I tried fiber and initially like it for the clarity but later realized it was for lack of low end presence. I tried several SFP's and fiber cables between an EtherRegen and SOtM switch both clocked with a Muted Ref10. Each SFP had a different ... | |
| Which Ethernet filter? The CAT7u was better then the ENO Ag between a SOtM switch and Innuos Statement. I have not heard the Muon. |
