| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... OK. I read your question again. You were asking about the clock into the ddc. I was commenting on the clock into the dac. I hadn't really tried switching between the external and internal clocks on the ddc. So, I tried that tonight. I do think ... | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... Yes, I have. To be honest, I don't hear any difference, but my dac has a pretty good clock built in. | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @lanx0003 So, I decided to try the direct USB connection between my streamer and dac eliminating the DDC. It still sounds really good, but I do notice a little bit less detail and clarity. Like you said, that could be the DDC, or it could be tha... | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... I’m using a Gustard U18 DDC between my Innuos streamer and dac. It converts USB to I2S. I checked with Gustard and Innuos about using the U18 or skipping it and going USB directly from the streamer to my dac. Both Gustard and Innuos recommended... | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... Makes sense. If you like what you have, no rush to do anything. I don't recall what you are using for a dac. I think you have a Cambridge streamer? I'm happy with my current dac. It is better than the R26. It's a chip dac which isn't popular... | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... It seems like there are enough positive reviews for the Harmony micro dac that it's worth rolling the dice and trying one. It's nice that the ddc could take it to another level if you ever got the upgrade bug. I took a chance on my current dac ... | |
| Narrowing line stage search Conrad Johnson ET-6 SE VS. Backart Labs 1.4 Rhuma Extreme I haven’t heard the ET6 SE, but if I’m not mistaken, the current models don’t have the sound signature of the older c-j models. It uses a single 6922 tube. I’m not saying it’s bad, just different. Before my LTA preamp, I had a PV-14L and a Pre... | |

| Seeking a Tube preamplifier +1 Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL preamp. I have the level 2 version. It does have a balance control. You can really tweak the sound to your liking by swapping tubes. | |

| Von Schweikert Outstanding customer support I have a pair of original VR-4s that I bought new about 30 years ago. I've emailed Matt at various times with questions regarding replacement drivers, etc. I had a midrange go bad. Very responsive. Like a dumbass, I burnt a hole in the grill clo... | |

| Freight Movers? A couple of years ago, my speakers were shipped from California to the Kansas City airport via Forward Air. A local shipping company was supposed to deliver them to my house. Something went amuck with the local guy, so arrangements were made for... | |

| Back in the vinyl saddle again. I have a Marantz TT-15S1 which came with a Clearaudio Virtuoso Ebony Wood cartridge. I was using it with a Sutherland KC Vibe phono stage. I upgraded to a Hana ML moving coil cartridge and a Sutherland TZ Vibe phono stage. I don’t recall if I ... |
