| Removing a ZERO from the price of amps I need an amp today since I sold my existing one this morning. Likely going for the Benchmark AHB2 but will keep my eyes on the Purifi stuff as it matures. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/seeking-cost-performance-input-... | |
| Removing a ZERO from the price of amps https://darko.audio/2020/07/expert-opinion-bruno-putzeys-purifi-hypex-kii-mola-mola/ Darko Web site has an interview about this subject matter. | |
| Magico A5 official Announcement Not exactly what you asked but my Benchmark AHB2 (100W @ Ohms) was kind of killed by the A3 which is likely less of a load than the A5. That was a single stereo amp. Sound was collapsed onto the speakers. The beefier Mark Levinson sounded much bet... | |
| Audiogon Is Noisy I think I may have been wrong to blame audiogon. It was 100% ROON as described in the 3 posts above. I did notice some CPU craziness with Audiogon but that may have been in conjunction with the GPU issue tied to ROON.Anyways, anybody else having A... | |

| Magico A5 official Announcement They have a comparison done on AudioShark web site. Though note the guy doing the comparison is the dealer and owner of the forum. I do like AudioShark forum though. | |
| Audiogon Is Noisy GPU issue is now solved with the help of some stranger in London, UK. Likely a ROON engineer. https://community.roonlabs.com/t/gpu-100-on-roon-client-maximized/115316/9 I reinstalled the display drivers and the GPU is no longer going crazy. It see... | |
| Audiogon Is Noisy Posted the following on ROON Support forum. When the ROON application client is maximized my GPU hits 100%, when the application window is set to restore (not maximized) the GPU is around 50%, and when the application window is minimized the GPU i... | |

| Audiogon Is Noisy Well my software debugging took me to a new audio related bug today. When using ROON my CPU was spiking to 30%+, it should be under 10%. At 30% the fans come on, similar to when the internet browsers are hogging CPU with ad Java Script doodoo.What... | |
| Any thoughts on Denafrips Terminator Plus I am trying to understand the point of the DDC units from Denafrips. It seems to me that the benefit, with respect to the Terminator line, seems to be to allow the use the I2S input. the I2S input is stated to be the best input on those units. Is... | |
| Audiogon Is Noisy Yes, that is true so I have know which sites can be opened without causing CPU hiccups on my audio PC. Audiogon hogging the CPU is a new thing I am seeing. Likely some random ad from the advert platforms. Though I could be in the Audiogon website ... | |
| Any thoughts on Denafrips Terminator Plus @divetiti Thanks that is helpful. I like the DAC3B a lot especially with the complimentary Benchmark HPA4 preamp. It is better than the DAC3 HGC (without an external preamp), which I sold. I used that one direct to amp. I am using the OEM power ca... |
