| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? @atp001 - how long did the upload/update take? People who have updated their Ares ii heard a big improvement in sound quality. Did you experience that with your Ares ii upgrade or was it similar to the Pontus upgrade and no major audible improveme... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? @atp001 - how did you get the new firmware for the Pontus ii? Alvin said the update would not be available until the beginning of April. In addition to eliminating the pops, did the upgrade improve sound quality? If so, how? @whipsaw - you mak... | |
| An interesting experience with power cable. @jayctoy 😂 | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align These three songs are ideal for showing off your system and you will love each one of them… Al Di Meola, Joann McLaughlin, Paco DeLucia - Splendido Sundance (the 2022 reissued version) Melody Gardot - If You Love Me Big Thief - Change | |
| The best plug in filter ever! I’ve been following this thread for a few months and reached out to Mark little over a month ago. I have to say Mark has been great to work with and he never once pressured me to buy. He just reminded me I have 30 days to enjoy it and if I didn... | |
| Hello Guys, @rohlim - you’ve asked a great question and identifying which conditioner works best, will greatly depend on your other complements . It’s really difficult to provide a solid recommendation but I’ll try. I have a Niagara 1200 and think it restri... | |
| The best plug in filter ever! @verafiaudio - thanks so much for the info. I’ll let you know when I’m ready to order! Can’t wait. | |
| The best plug in filter ever! @verafiaudio - I have an Equi=Core 1800 MKII and a Deep=Core. Would I plug the Puron in the duplex the Deep=Core is plugged in or in the open duplex in the Deep=Core? thanks | |
| iFi iPower X - hifi bargain? @alexberger - I used an SBooster with my Chord Qutest and loved it. I also upgraded the fuse with a QSA Yellow which made it sound even better. I never hooked up an ifi X with the Qutest but I’m sure it would make it sound better than the stock wa... | |
| Audioquest Niagara 1200 I wrote a post about this exact subject three or four months ago. I bought the 1200 and when I hooked up my Atoll IN300 to the it, I felt the life was sucked out of the Atoll. I plugged the Atoll into the wall and it came back. I bought an Equi=Co... | |
| iFi iPower X - hifi bargain? When I had the ifi zen, I upgraded to the X and the difference was night and day. I bought another one for my modem/router and that made another large improvement. I traded the ifi zen in for the ifi stream and the stream comes with the X. I think... | |
| Qobuz dropping rights to my favorites. A pox on their house (resubmit) @clearthinker - happy new year. | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! Two songs I always use to test new equipment… Melody Gardot - if you love me Big Thief - change | |
| Does an Audioquest Niagra 1200 limit amplifier dynamics? I agree with @carlsbad regarding conditioners (at least the 1200) reduces the rapid current changes which limits the amp. I unplugged my Atoll IN300 from the 1200 and plugged it directly to the wall and my amp came alive again. I’m not saying the ... | |
| Does an Audioquest Niagra 1200 limit amplifier dynamics? I have a AQ Niagara 1200 and think it’s a nice conditioner. In my system, the 1200 makes everything sound good and I think this is due to it being over filtered. So, this is the question, do you want a conditioner that makes everything sound good ... |
