Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
@khbaur330162 How do you like it after some extended time? For a short while I ran my power cables off the inverter/battery directly and I used very expensive noise reducing Shunyata power cables on the DAC and amp. The music sounded great but it... 
VTV D300 Digital amp
I'm liking the BNC mod but because I've made simultaneous changes to the system, I'm not sure what how much this mod is contributing to better sound.  It's not an option on the VTV website but I believe the BNC connection can be installed from the... 
VTV D300 Digital amp
My VTV D300 with WBT NextGen binding posts arrived a few weeks back.  Before receiving it, I bought a used Lumin U1 Mini with Sbooster upgrade to get LEEDH digital volume control.  My speakers are Zu Audio Soul 6.  The Soul 6 doesn't have traditio... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
@ricevs I also bought a Lumin U1 Mini with Sbooster upgrade for the LEEDH digital volume control.  It sounds good. Controlling the volume from my phone is both good and bad.  It's convenient when I'm using the phone but it's inconvenient when I'm ... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
I had to cancel my GaN 1 order because my VTV D300 Digital Amp came in for delivery a few days back. I imagine it would perform similarly to the GaN 1 since it also uses an EAS board. I’m liking a lot what I’m hearing. It’s left on 24/7 for breaki...

@yyzsantabarbara Hear! Hear! See what I did there?

I just rewatched the Youtube review of the GaN 400 and Pre DAC by Thomas & Stereo. Many of the good qualities he described of that pair is what I look for in my music. If the GaN 1 can get me all of those qualities and more, then I would be ve... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
Going back to what I’m hearing with the LKS USB-100, for critical listening, I use my headphone system because it offers much more transparency than my 2-channel. It makes discerning differences and nuances easier. I use Sennheiser IE900 IEMs so t... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@sns I agree regarding the 005.  I am beyond satisfied with this DAC and it responds so well to tweaks done around it. I no longer have my superb USB chain that included an Innuos Phoenix USB and an opticalRendu but I'm sure it would've been amaz... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
My LKS USB-100 DDC came in the mail today. I let it warm up with the LKS linear power supply while I watched a movie.  Later I hooked up the wireworld platinum starlight ethernet cable, the wireworld platinum starlight 48 hdmi cable, and the Shuny...

I got my LKS LPS-25-USB 5V linear power supply for my yet to arrive LKS DDC for less than $90 shipped from AliExpress. So while I waited for the LKS DDC, I put the LPS on the Node 2i and I was surprised how good the system sounds. I now prefer thi...

@donnylovely It's fun to read about other folk's experiences with their gear but it's more fun to partake in the listening myself in the comfort of my home and within the familiarity of my system 😁 @dolfan I bought a power interface converter for...

Let the good times roll!  I just put an order for the Gan 1.  I will see if it can replace 10K+ worth of gear and cables.  My current streamer is a bluesound node 2i powered by an LPS.  I currently use a Shunyata Omega Clock 75 digital cable betwe... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
It's an intriguing streamer but it's slightly more costly than the Holo Streamer and its I2S output doesn't perfectly match the 005 so I passed.  Being able to experiment with I2S is one of my requirements.
