...of Hi-Fi, it just makes me gush and I go all technobabble, there is so much classic gear sitting around it's just amazing. I enjoy the gear side of this hobby/passion so much and it hurts that I don't have the resources(Time and space are the biggest issues) to enjoy it all. I have really...

I picked up a stream recently. I was trying a U1 mini(Wanting to replace an older Aries combo). Stream into(USB) IRIS into Pontus II revealed I need to spend more money on a streamer. It's the first time I prefered a products(Stream) USB implementation to its SPDIF(Juudged subjectively without...

Sanders MODEL 10 Electrostatic Speaker system + preamp.

Thank you for the prompt, tapatalk works fine for me know.

Hi Musicologist. I would recommend investigating the following, Option 1(Ease of use), within your stated budget. Bluesound Node, a one-box solution with a great app. Option 2(Sound quality), just over your budget. Zen stream + Denefrips AresII

My vote would go to your Zotl 10.

As long as Led zeppelin and Chris Isaac sound good I'm happy, everything else is a bonus, I play and fettle too much and I still believe I can hear the difference between cables. I have no problem that the components that constitute my main system don't "match". Regarding setup, placement, cable...

And I see I have messages that I have not replied to, apologies to all.

Good day Mr. A. Here is my belated reply (I have been moving, and when you are a gearhead it's a nightmare). Hi, I am here. 1. There is a multitude of answers to your question, but I don't like to be a  :sh1tstirrer: ill just say that I have been trying to post and even when people misquote...

http://www.cardas.com/multi_blocks.php I would have something similar made up by a local. Years ago when I had a decent setup I played with Russ Andrews, Audioquest, some foam blocks and these Cardas pieces, what I really liked was if they got dusty they were easy to clean, they also worked to...

He-Man and Thundercats figurines. I've wanted to do this for the longest time.

I was disappointed when I got wind of RME switching to ESS for the ADI-2 DAC fs (they have allocated their remaining stock of 4493's to the ADI-2 PRO fs) as this is my favorite implementation of an AKM chipset at a real-world price. Some brands that use AKM are still scrambling, where I work...

Update. NOS - no delay/buffering. OS - there is delay/buffering.....

I want a DAC off.... I want to put this against Aqua, Holo, and Chord. It's still developing and I'm about to move...

okto dac8, I have not experienced the unit in the way the reviews describe, the unit has been packed away (along with my RME) and I will run it in a second system when I can (I had to basically fight to get this, I paid and was informed that the unit would ship in 4 weeks, in following up I was...

I went for the Pontus II for the following reasons, 1. The hype(it is nice to get a "trending" item and hopefully a better chance I could move it if I was not happy). 2. Internal architecture. 3. Full Aluminium casing. 4. DSP board(If you have been following Denafrips you may be aware that the...

No buffering-related issues I can report.

1st came from Vinshine and the next purchases were made through Shenzhen (you need to research what works for you, with Shenzhen I asked for a price match against Vinshine and asked for DHL but your warranty is two years not three).

Yay, been waiting all day... No idea, apparently they need 200hrs or more to break in. I haven't heard the soundstage that's been described in reviews and on youtube, the first unit did open up a bit (out of the box everything is just piled on top of each other). I may give my opinion once I've...
