ultraRendu dropouts at DSD512 and 768kHz
Thanks for the suggestion. I haven’t been there specifically to check the forums, but it sounds like it might be worth a few minutes to check out.    To be fair, customer service at Sonore and SmallGreenComputer have both been responsive to email... 
ultraRendu dropouts at DSD512 and 768kHz
Discovered the issue.    Sonore is having trouble with firmware version 2.9 working on all Denafrips models. I did an OTA update of 2.9 to make sure it was properly installed, and now the ultraRendu is completely unable to interface with the Dena... 
Sound quality of Roon
@troidelover1499 There's a lot of great insights on here. This topic has been on my mind for the last couple of weeks for other reasons. Here are a couple of thoughts:   1.) I currently use Roon streamed from a dedicated Mac Mini (M1). My curren... 
Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive
I’m trying to understand,so correct me if I’m wrong.  1. Music will be reprocessed to a different format (Tekton) 2. Music will then be played back on a proprietary “box” (Tekton) Am I way off the mark?  1. Don't know. I don't think there n...

@tomic601  Interesting, did you see the microphone array ? I did. I could have sworn one of the patents has images with it. It looked exactly like the image.   
Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive
@bugsnest @bstatmeister  very intriguing! Is Eric planning to demo this at an upcoming audio show or some such event? I believe so; not sure when though. Describing it is one thing – actually hearing it is another. Quite frankly, describing th...

@femoore12  Is he going to try and patent a Quadraphonic system? *has patented. I was able to find two on google patents last time I looked.  @dekay  So, it's used with Tekton recordings? I am describing a couple of new patents obtained b...

@spenav  How many channels were at play?  Was it multi channel or stereo?  Thanks for the report.  There were four channels on the recordings. One channel for each speaker. Part of the patent is on the microphone array, another on the processi...

@middlemass  Do they sound as real as the Acoustat Model 6? If not, I'll pass. Sorry if I wasn't clear. My post wasn't about Tekton's speakers. I'm sure your Acoustat Model 6's sound amazing! Happy listening.  
Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive
I don't want to be negative, but I don't see the difference between this and surround sound. That sums up exactly my attitude and opinion going into the demo. But look, I've spent my fair share of time obsessing about getting the best possible ...

1960’s quad is back? That's what I thought at first too! I don't know what the final implementation looks like. The demo made it look to me as if it could fit within a 5.1 technology footprint.   
New Stereo Times review on CODA CSiB Integrated Amplifier
Terry, thanks for the post! I really appreciate the feedback on the review.  
PS Audio BHK preamp owners
I’ve got mine set to 5ma using a 12v tube, though I didn’t realize it. I had a couple sets of Brimar 12AU7’s that weren’t playing nice with my BHK, I got them warrantied by Upscale. I’m running a set of current production “Kevin’s Stash” and Cryo ... 
has anybody else noticed this about flac audio?
@guitarsam some of it is probably system dependent too. I always thought that the AIFF’s and WAV files sounded better than FLAC on my prior DAC and streamer combo. I’ve upgraded since then. My new DAC seems more or less agnostic to the type of los... 
Why you want upsampling and upconversion in a server and why it sounds way better!
@audiotroy My Roon core is currently on a MBP, and I recognize how busy and electronically noisy those can be. I’m one of those that want to like upsampling. I like to think that I’ve tried every combination of upsampling in Roon; though likely, I...
