| i2s Cable for Denafrips Iris -> Pontus? However, there seems to be a very slight muffling to the sound overall vs the DAC alone. The sound is less holographic and it took some of the sparkle off. To me, currently, it sounds like a slight downgrade vs the DAC on its own, which shouldn’t... | |
| Subwoofer suggestion Is 2-channel important or is this mainly just for HT? | |
| Subwoofer suggestion What’s the rest of the equipment in your system, and do listen to 2-channel too and if so how important is that to you vs. HT. | |
| i2s Cable for Denafrips Iris -> Pontus? What USB and HDMI cables are you using now? | |
| Interesting video on cables Nice! | |
| Is ethernet output a possibility for the Innuos Zen MK3 You should check to see what inputs are best for your DAC as there is usually one or maybe two that are optimized for performance. I think your DAC also has an i2S input, so that might be worth checking into as well. I’d think Gustard could give y... | |
| Coax SP/DIF to USB..thoughts? From the Aurender website… UC100 is compatible with Aurender models N150, ACS10, ACS100, A200, A15, A20 and A30. It is for use with Aurender only and not compatible with other USB devices. You can pick up a used Denafrips Iris for $399 and hav... | |
| If Cardas Clear Beyond and Shunyata Sigma V2 speaker cables had a child ....it would be ? That would be the Carnyata Bigma or the Shundas Sigmond. Sorry. I’ve always found Acoustic Zen cables to have a very nice blend of detail and musicality — natural and organic is how I’d describe it — with excellent 3D sound staging. Why not giv... | |
| Interesting video on cables So many DDCs, so little time. BTW, and if u don’t mind me asking, what’s the rest of the equipment, cables, etc. in ur system? | |
| Interesting video on cables I have considered purchasing the Gaia DDC for the IS2 connection to see where that takes things. Nice DAC! I think that’s a great thought but not sure you need to go all the way to the Gaia. You could pick up a used Iris for $400 (that’s what I... | |
| Upgrading cd player I asked the dealer if u could take home the Mac to demo on my system and he said he can’t do it. So I don’t even know if it’s worth hearing it on their Mac system. So, the dealer has a chance at a $12k sale and he won’t let you take his demo u... | |
| SACD is VERY confusing Isn't the point to sell SACD's? Making it difficult for people to hear them at their best by putting up roadblocks doesn't seem like much of a business plan. A good question. Possibly because the old factor of....greed, got the better of them.... | |
| Interesting video on cables Sorry man. I feel like I’ve been a bit of a preachy jerk here. I’m surprised you didn’t hear an appreciable improvement with the HiFi Rose streamer, but I’m also a huge believer in following and trusting your own ears and if you heard what you h... | |
| Interesting video on cables Ok. I get it. It’s a process and a progression. But don’t say things like this… These are USB cables but I’m sure the principle applies to speaker and IC cabling. because that’s not accurate and why I said something. No good audio-purposed... | |
| SACD is VERY confusing There are thousands of people out there buying SACDs I think you mean hundreds. |
