| Received my Denafrips Venus 15th ejspain2020 No need, it either works or it does not in my experience. That said, once you have the Iris/Venus combo set up, I'd now try the oversampling/non oversampling......and in oversampling mode, the sharp/slow filter. The link I posted prev... | |

| Received my Denafrips Venus 15th ejspain2020 Sorry for the slow response, damn work has gotten in the way of my hobby. I appreciate the input, and I did go back and read that article. The first thing I noticed is the article is from January 2022, before Vinshine/Denafrips had e... | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers Willywonka It's true there are compromises for a "relative" budget product like the Dutch & Dutch 8C, but I did leave this year thinking I liked them more than the last few times I've heard them......and this year are adding the Baach filters... | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers Willywonka I too am curious about DSP, tweeks, Baach filters, etc. At Axpona I spent a lot of time in the Theoretica room, to try and understand their Baach4Mac.....and left more confused than when I went in. This will take more digging. I also... | |
| Listening Room or Components or my ears? Wood paneling, framed posters, cement floors.....a lots of reflective surfaces. Focal's are tipped up in the treble to begin with, and the toe in is not helping if they are that close together. Get a wool area rug at least 5/8" thick or better, an... | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... I have no experience with the Laiv products, but I do know that the distributor Alvin Chee is an amazing person to deal with.....as he was the former distributor for Denafrips. I spent some time with him at Axpona. That being said, there is a hug... | |
| Considering switching to XLR cables, If your equipment is fully balanced, then absolutely use XLR cabling. Why would you downgrade what the designer put so much money and effort into......obviously they feel it's the best option. If not, then try and see which one you prefer. If the ... | |

| Best affordable Linear Power Stage Alvin at Vinshine is the real deal, and a great seller. I bought all of my Denafrips gear from him (when he sold Denafrips), and my Bluesound Node LPS | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Anything that is "Auto Tuned", give me the beauty and the failings of the human voice.....both are equally important to creating emotion for me. | |
| How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room? Zlone "Bonus question I am going to AXPONA next week is there anything that I absolutely should hear when I am there?" Great start for sure, Axpona will grant you access to a bunch of gear. I'd suggest Fritz, Joseph Audio, Magico, Alta Audio, Fy... | |

| Looking for a new DAC devinplombier Agreed on what your ears tell you. My only issue (pro and con) is just making a blanket statement without having tried it oneself......with streamers, DACs, DDCs, clocks, connections, etc; the true answer in most instances is "it de... | |
| Looking for a new DAC Soix Agreed. In fact I suspect that a great number of DACs from many manufacturers could benefit by adding a DDC, especially those with I2S. Certainly the improved clock (in those cases where that is the case), and if the adding the DDC allows I2... |
