Pass labs XA-160.8 monos - or -  Mark Levinson 536 monos for Magico's
I just wrote and updated how I now own the absolutely outstanding Ypsilon Phaethon Integrated Amplifier which is one of the most unique and innovative amps made?   
Pass labs XA-160.8 monos - or -  Mark Levinson 536 monos for Magico's
I did choose to listen to them both and then I purchased the Pass Labs 160.8 which I loved until I listened to the best amp I’ve ever heard. It absolutely blew mind and it let me sell both my preamp and mono blocks. I purchased the incredible Ypsi... 
Esoteric C03 preamp or Mark Levinson 326S preamp- ANY and ALL FEEDBACK / HELP PLEASE
Yup I ended up buying and owning both. Not sure which one I preferred. I liked the Simaudio P8 better then both. Now using Ypsilon Phaethon Integrated which I’ll never switch. Well shouldn’t say never but highly doubt it as I have never no found o... 
Ayre DX-7 CD / DVD - Need laser head replaced - anyone know who I can pay to help me?
Yes I was surprised. There are a ton of them out there and it’s wasn’t hard. One if the benefits of their use a standard pioneer transport mechanism.

A replacement version was bought on eBay - not too hard to hard to install - wasn’t too expensive.  
Has anyone added a Master Clock to UpTone EtherREGEN Yet? It’s Insane!
Very nice rig - K50 + M12 = :)

It absolutely pulverizes any CD player. My system as it is - you can add a CD Player, any CD Player at any cost and it will crush it. If you live local come over my house and you can listen. If you are worried don’t be there is a 30 trial period a...

kingbarbuda265 postsThis is a great and very hotly contested point. So much so we offer both sinwave and square wave in our Queen Master Clocks. It’s our best selling and most popular clock, designed specifically to match up to EtherREGEN and you ...

kzs7031 postsA system like yours is the type of system that this clock is made for. Any refined digital front end that employs a top notch server / DAC and EtherREGEN. I’m telling you with all certainty or your money back that it will be the bigge...

Alex, John and Adrain all believe the best place to put the EtherREGEN is right before the source it is feeding. Ethernet DAC or server or what have you. Let that be the last line before your source. Let all your other gear and switches and connec... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
I need to hear the M3. I have not yet. I know with my M1 I found the Ethernet card to be a nice upgrade over USB. Brian actually converts the Ethernet to IS2 right in front if DAC chips so Ethernet card is kind of like using IS2.

Fuzztone - yes to work just with a DAC you are right. My DAC won’t accept a master clock either but if you own an UpTone Audio EtherREGEN and you hook to that it’s awesome regardless of what DAC you own. Although, I’d love to hear a DAC that accep... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
With the M3 did it have the optional network card / Roon endpoint player? Also are you talking a Direct Steam Jr? I think Direct Steam vs M1 and Direct Stream Jr vs M3 right? I’m not sure so just asking. I love how the Direct Stream offers differe...

mitch2 Thanks for the feedback. So I sold my CX and bought the S30 and love itI was going to just buy a S60 power supply. I’m using Uptone JS-2 and it sounds great.So is the S40 a lot better for using as a server? The S30 seems great but if the S4...
