| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta For anyone who may think about using an Audio GD DI-20HE with their GAN 1 or VTV D300, I want to give a warning. DO NOT power on the DI-20HE if the amp is already on. Only power on the amp after the DI-20HE has powered on and completed its initi... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta BTW, I'm hearing these improvements on the Soul 6 speakers but I'm really hearing this on my Sennheiser IE900 IEMs. Yes, my 390W VTV D300 speaker amp is also used for powering highly sensitive in-ear monitors (with a converter box, of course). And... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta The Lumin U2 is an excellent streamer. I'm very happy with the purchase. The RCA SPDIF output is good but the USB output with my two DDCs is special. Currently, The U2's USB output feeds an Ideon Audio 3R Master Time which feeds an Audio GD DI-... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Correct, the Lumin U2 and other "U" Lumin units don't have DACs and are pure streamers. I'm excited to try the fiber input of the U2. This is the future and the future is now. I think this can simplify the network side of my system. The U2 has a... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I have a number of boxes and cables I can remove from the system if the U2 is good enough to dethrone that small collection. The rack looks cluttered at the moment. I'm hoping simpler is better in this case. To describe just a slice of the boxe... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @yyzsantabarbara Well, I ended up buying that U2 unit and it's on a UPS truck right now coming my way. There is also a brand new one for sale here on AGon for a good price (less than MSRP) for anyone interested. This one doesn't come with remote l... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Looks very enticing. It checks off a few boxes for sure. | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I've used Canare BNC to RCA and RCA to BNC adapters with the VTV D300 and I'm happy with their performance. If you already have a good SPDIF cable, I would recommend to try the adapters first. There may not be a problem here to fix. | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Exciting times for sure. I’m also impressed with my self-modded VTV D300 amp. The stock D300 performed at a similar level to my previous system which consisted of a 6K traditional amp, 1.7K XLR cables, and 3K DAC. For about the price of the XLR ca... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid I've personally doubled down on battery/inverter power. I just bought a Shunyata Venom V16 power conditioner and a Giandel 2000W pure sine wave inverter. All of my digital components will go to this new inverter/conditioner and the analog compone... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I have a Bachelor's/Master's in CpE. I can say the mods I've made to my VTV D300 does not require any college education. It's fairly basic to switch out stock wires/inlets/connectors with better wires/inlets/connectors. The most crucial thing for... | |
| VTV D300 Digital amp ricevs, Thank You ... again. Cheers to the VTV D300 and tweaking! I've done plenty of tweaks outside of boxes and in between boxes but I've never seriously done tweaks inside the box. Now I know first hand what can be achieved by doing this. ... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I made some upgrades to my VTV D300. Upgrades to the Gan1 may be similar. Link | |
| VTV D300 Digital amp This past weekend over the span of two days I upgraded the internals of the amp. On Friday, I replaced the original EMI/RFI filtered inlet with a Furutech FI-09 G inlet. I had to drill two holes in the backplate to secure the Furutech to the cha... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta The Audio-GD DI-20HE has a coaxial SPDIF input and a USB input. There is a selector on the front panel that allows me to easily switch between the two inputs. For my stereo I use the USB and for the HT I use the SPDIF input. Don't know if this w... |
