| Innuos 2.1.0 upgrade If there is no difference in sound quality then I am hearing it differently. | |
| Should I add a DDC? Looking for experienced advise please. I slipped an Iris between a Statement and Terminator Plus and even though the USB on the Statement is highly touted, converting to I2S was better even without using the clock out from the TP. Quality HDMI cable will make a difference. | |
| Basic switch....should I upgrade? I have 3 switches and each brought an improvement I found fiber sullied the sound but I think I used copper on my etherregen at the same time so maybe that was the issue I found using a Mutec external clock on the Etherregen and SOTM switches m... | |
| Volume Control Too Sensitive I have/had the same problem with Allnic 8000DHT pre and Pass XA60.8 amps. I was able to change out a set of the DHT tubes for lower gain tubes. Interestingly I recently added a pair of Akiko Corelli's for noise and can increase the volume a few... | |
| Quest for an external Dac has resulted in me way down the rabbit hole I have a Denafrips Terminator Plus and it is amazing. Before that I had a Wyred 4 Sound DAC2 DSD SE and an upgraded Schitt Yggdrasil. The W4S was much better with more meat that the Yggrrasil. You can pick one up for less than 1000. https://... | |
| Was my friend given misinformation. The OP said his friend was getting into music. The BB salesperson did him a solid. He will be able to appreciate swapping out the Denon for a used Adcom or NAD something with guts and current to drive the speakers. | |
| Mixed Brand Pre-Amp Power Amp Pairings that Work Allnic L8000DHT with Pass XA60.8 on Mangepan 3.7i's. Amazing but the input sensitivity of the Pass is 1.1V to full output. I ordered a second set of low output DHT tubes but still can hardly get to 12 oclock on the attenuator. Fortunately the A... | |
| Power Cord for DAC I have Wywire Platinum Digital Power cords on my DAC and Pre amp I think they are in your price range. | |
| Sunday dreaming about preamps... Larryi mentioned the Allnic L-3000. I had a used L-3000MkII that I sold for a used L-7000SE that I sold for a new L-8000DHT. There is a significant step up to the L-7000, you can get one used for around $ 7500. It is a really nice product. It ... | |
| How Electricity Actually Works When I don't understand something and my head starts spinning I just remind myself the earth is the center of the universe and not to wander over the edge. Some day we will understand electricity, but today is not that day. | |
| How do you make a final decision on a DAC I had a Terminator and now have the Terminator Plus. I found the best input to be the HDMI and use a Denafrips Iris DDC to change USB to I2S. The Terminator 2 has the clock out to sync the DDC and it is worth it, but even without using the clock... | |
| I am so happy..... Harry says -do you feel lucky punk? and the punk isn't feeling so lucky... and he backs down but then the punk says- I got's to know... and then he was lucky, but not the luck he was looking for Call me a punk- I got's to know - maybe I'll get... | |
| Upgrading from Primaluna My first Allnic pre was a used L3000 MKII and I thought it was great, it cost about the same as your Dialogue new. When I sold it for a used L7000SE I was very happy I did. It was night and day improvement. I recently sold it for a new L8000. ... | |
| Innuos updates What does Roon integrations mean? I gave up on Roon because InnuOS sounded better. | |
| Suggestions for a good I2s cable $300-$400 range? Have used several HDMI between my Iris and Terminator. There is a difference. Using an AQ Thunder 48K now. Had an AQ Coffee and a Sommer cable. The Sommer was better and much less expensive. |
