You must be very cautious in dealing with Larry Moore of Ultra Fi. He sold me a Musicstream DAC with a 15 day return privilege and then refused to return any emails or answer any phone calls. I feel it is my duty to inform other fellow audiophiles of the perils of dealing with this man.
Ultra Fi ECM Digital Noise Preventer
About 6 wks ago myself and a few others in our audio group had the opportunity to hear the ECM unit from Ultra Fi audio. I wouldn't quantify it as a conditioner per se, it works in the opposite way. It prevents noise from within anything plugged into it from making its way to the AC line. I purchased this unit and have listened to it at length. The difference in sound compared to the former was 3D sound, smoother and extended treble, blacker background, more transparency, and a more analog sound vs. digital. The best analogy I can offer that I experienced is...comparing a laid back phono tube preamp vs. a solidstate phono pre. The presentation betw/ the 2 would be the difference betw/ the ECM vs. not having it. I hope you'll understand what I'm trying to convey. It has taken my digital another step forward. I'm not affiliated in any way, just a very happy customer. If I'm not clear in my description, I apologize. If you have any interest, contact Larry at Ultra Fi....System, Apple Mini, Ultra Fi Musicstream DAC, Ridge St. Alethias USB cable, WD hardrive.
