| Node 2i + DDC Upgrade to PulseMini? Haven't heard the Pulse Mini, but I did upgrade my Node N130 to the Innuos Zen Mini mkiii with the Innuos LPSU some time ago; that was a significant upgrade. I'm sure the Pulse Mini, would be a similar if not greater uptick in performance. My Node... | |
| Aurenda and Tidal and Qobuz connect Cleeds is correct; Qobuz Connect is not a thing (yet). As with any streamer that supports Qobuz, it is only accessible via the streamers native app | |
| FedEx - strange shipping progress (to UK) @curiousjim yes! I agree, DHL I've found to be really efficient and quick | |
| FedEx - strange shipping progress (to UK) @riie if you're referring to the football, you're absolutely spot on 😄. I went to the pub to watch the Atalanta game last week; we (Liverpool FC) haven't played that badly since Roy Hodgson's time in charge. The end of the season can't come quic... | |
| FedEx - strange shipping progress (to UK) @shtinkydog that is frustrating, and a little insane this day and age. Sounds similar to the UK's regular postal service. My heart sinks when I order something online and I then see the retailer is using the Post Office regular mail 😩. If the opti... | |
| FedEx - strange shipping progress (to UK) @bolong this may explain the odd routes taken; staff shortages, competition etc. Anyway, my item arrived in one piece and and scathed from it's marathon, around the world trip 😊👍 Thanks @tooblue , I will do. 👍 | |
| Denafrips Iris12th - signal out to Ares 12th-1 SOLVED: removed PC from Ares and Iris, left to sit a couple of mins then powered back up -> Bingo! 👍 I2S signal and music 😊 | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. Owned: Areas 12th-1 so far; this has kept my Cen Grand DSDAC 1.0 Super Clock off my rack for 6 weeks, and I don't feel like I'll be changing this anytime soon. The Cen Grand is 3x the cost of the Ares, but it doesn't come close to sheer enjoyment ... | |
| Connection options from Node to Denafrips Iris to Pontus From memory, the USB on the Node N130 received a firmware update which enabled it to output to an external DAC. I don't think this was the case with earlier versions of the Node | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 @pinwa Thanks very much for your reply; this is really helpful. To me, the A8 is a very intriguing product; I may buy one despite not being able to do what I proposed. It just seems like such a fun, feature packed piece of kit, and from everyt... | |
| FYI - QOBUZ SERVICES WILL BE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE Thanks for the heads -up 👍. I think I can manage without for 30mins 😄 | |
| To loom or not to loom? I've been heading in this direction myself. I was drawn to the fact your using DH Lab cables. I was looking for a reasonably priced USB cable from Streamer to DAC and ended up with DH Lab's Mirage. I wasn't expecting much difference to what I had... | |
| Suggested Power Cable for Streamer I have the NRG Custom "The Five"; maybe feed your PSM156 with it from the wall, and maybe consider Triode Wire Labs "American Digital II" PC for your Zenith. I have this set-up, very good | |
| Neat "Tweaks" to improve the SQ of your streamed music!!! I've recently bought an ifi LAN iSilencer, used between router and Netgear switch, which feeds my Network Acoustic ENO filter -> streamer. For £89, it made a nice incremental improvement, similar to your descriptions. I'll be swapping out the ... | |
| Update on good Ethernet switch I’ve been tossing the idea around for a while of a LHY SW8, but was going to upgrade my streamer first. But with funds not yet available for this, I pushed the button on the LHY. Stupidly, I forgot about the Chinese New Year Celebrations, and ord... |
