| Class D ICEpower 1200as2 vs. Purifi 1ET7040SA amplifiers I seriously doubt PSAs M1200s are using the 1200 AS2s, most likely based on the 1200 AS1s Correct. But it's not just a standard AS1s. According to reports it was modified by PS Audio (with IcePower guidance) to marry it to a tube input stage... | |
| Class D ICEpower 1200as2 vs. Purifi 1ET7040SA amplifiers The PS Audio M1200 is 1200as2 Tube hybrid. 12AU7 input stage. I would really like to hear a pair of those with my Mullards in there. I ran the S300 fronted by a Rogue RP-1 for years to good affect. PS Audio is just down the street from me and... | |
| How do you assess a DAC? Be interesting to see, but i bet those new Sonos devices show up in Roon as endpoints. should be able to group/separate them as well. | |
| How do you assess a DAC? @jbuhl thanks for the suggestion. What would be the benefit of a second system? Lots of people have 2nd systems or N systems. I have 3 older Sonos Zp90 (before the Port) that are all accessible from Roon. 1 in my office,1 at my HT setup an... | |

| Chord Cutest or Wadia 321 The 321 sound is what you get when you know your way a around an ESS Sabre chip. | |
| How do you assess a DAC? @side22olto Might want to hang on to that Sonos Port. Roon will see that as an endpoint you could use that in a 2nd system. | |
| Chord Cutest or Wadia 321 I have 2 Wadia 321. Been running in my system for years without a hitch. On occasion I run the one in my main system directly to my amp as a pre amp/dac because i can use XLR. But I always fall back to using my tubed pre but have to use COAX a... | |
| How To Keep Cat Off Stereo Equipment? Re-home the cat. yep. When my last pet kick the bucket i was done. Had a buddy going through same thing. Had these plexiglass contraptions around his gear. What a pain to listen to his system. When cat shuffled of to big sky he called it on pe... | |
| How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables? I had an extender and didnt have much success with it. Went to a mesh setup and solved most of my dropout problems but hard to tell if it made an SQ difference cause I made several other changes that improved my SQ. But I believe it has a roll. My... | |
| Suggestions for Phono Preamp +1 on the Moon 110LP v2. The phono stage in my Rogue pre is well regarded. I home auditioned the Moon. It was as good as my Rogue but not enough to spend the extra $ on. But If I was looking for a PS in that price range I would seriously con... | |
