| Supratek Owners Thread @jslateiv , there is a difference now on the burning in process, now 48 hours in. An FM Tuner (Yamaha TD-500) is feeding the input and monitoring with SPL headphone amp, HD820. Power is raw house AC power, no special cabling on AC lines at all. In... | |
| Can LUMIN U2 do DSD gapless? Any Lumin can play gapless, it totally depends on the file quality and the player software. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @tksteingraber, took delivery of Cabernet mid Nov 2023. The tubes that are fitted: 6SN7-SE (2) 6N3C (0384) (2) the 'N" looks like a russian n GZ345 Rectifier (1) The sound is a bit rough out of the box, letting it burn in from today for a we... | |
| Thoughts and perceptions on the sound quality of Accuphase Digital Products @chadsort , Accuphase does use off the shelf DAC chips, however quite a few in parallel to cancel out errors as the conversion is completed, plus a few other methods, see here on how this is accomplished. @garebear , it's unfortunate that in the... | |
| Eversolo DMP A6 The DMP-A6 is quite an attractive unit, very tempted to buy one. In looking at the DMP-A6 forum page at Zidoo, there are a few red flags that would stop the purchase. USB DAC compatibility There's no guarantee that your DAC will work with the DMP... | |
| Upsampling PCM or DSD in 2022 @reg19 how did you determine those settings? I asked Jussi many times years ago, never received an answer as to which filter or mod did what. Followed discussions at Audiophile Style, but no real clues. Although I do have a computer that's capabl... | |
| Upsampling PCM or DSD in 2022 @reg19 , yes finding that one setting was the undoing, could never find the right combo. Upsampled to DSD128, try this and that on headphones, took a few weeks of tweaking time. Spat the dummy one day just had enough. | |
| Upsampling PCM or DSD in 2022 @reg19 , therein lies the issue with HQPlayer, there are many choices of modulators and sampling rates to choose from. I found the process difficult to narrow down for all different types of music, there was no ‘one’ setting that a) worked for t... | |
| Electrical Power Outlet advice Keep the basement outlet as is and run a dedicated line just for audio equipment. | |
| Digital is as confusing as ever The connectivity with Roon is a known problem, and lies with roon, so forget that. Wouldn't give up the Lumin just yet, try Minimserver on the host PC, and for remote, JPlay works well on an ipad. | |
| Do I need a streamer? @whitestix streamer is probably the wrong term, I would have thought the term renderer is more accurate what you’re after. A renderer connects to an LAN to convert TCP/IP into something a DAC can translate to produce audio or a digital output lik... | |
| Streamer/DAC - Where is the value? The new ifi neo stream is worth looking at. Many inputs including optical and a little Oled. Built-in DAC or USB and more outputs gives flexibility for better DAC. I wish it had XLR out, is only provided with RCA analog out | |
| New AES3/USB interface? The USB cable should be rated for class 2 transmission, that will at least solve one drama. The other possibility is the cpu is just busy at the wrong time and interrupts USB. Many other causes, loose corroded connections. Try a different playe... | |
| New AES3/USB interface? The Mutec will mute when the signal lock is lost, this is probably normal, input from Mac playing up? | |
| Warning when trying Innuos PhoenixUSB Im thinking to buy the Phoenix to replace Micro usb3 from ifi. Thank you for the tip. Once burned in, does it still require a warm up time to sound its best or recommend to leave on 24/7? |
