| Mogami Neglex W2549 I did cable comparisons today between my Pass Labs XP 20 and ifi iCan Pro Signature headphone amp. I use the same Neutrik XLR connectors on all cables. The Gotham Gac 4/1 Ultra Pro sounded dull compared to the Belden 8402. The Belden sounds more o... | |
| Modwright LS-100, Rogue RP-7, Aesthetix Calypso I had the Rogue RP-7 followed by the Modwright LS 36.5 in my system. Both are amazing preamps. Well built, sound similar and had similar features. I see that the RP-7 is a V2 and the LS36.5 is discontinued. The current Modwright offering that meet... | |
| Do streamers make a difference? @yyzsantabarbara I A/B compared the Lumin U2 and Sonore OpticalRendu Deluxe with the same Finisar 1318 SFP. The Lumin had an inky black background and a smooth presentation. However, I preferred the more lively presentation of the OpticalRendu. I ... | |
| DIGITAL POPS WITH HDMI CABLE IN DDC TO DACS CONNECTION I had the same clicking and popping issue with the Gustard U26 outputting i2S to a Musician Pegasus II DAC. I have had a Denafrips Gaia and a Laiv uDDC and never had this issue. Although the U26 sounded great I returned it within the 30 day return... | |
| Replacing Roon - What Should I get? @audphile1 I see that you are using the Meitner MA3i. I am buying one next week. I am a fan of JPlay so I look forward to following your posts. I don’t have plans on using Roon. I trialed it for the last three years and always felt that the soun... | |
| Replacing Roon - What Should I get? @marcin_gps Thank you for helping me out with my issues. As Marcin outlined it is the network and renderer where these dropouts, stops, errors are happening. In my case, Marcin helped me configure my Sonore OpticalRendu settings and now 100% sta... | |
| LHY SW10 pro switch? I would like to add that I compared a NA Muon Pro with and without the SW-10 Pro to a Sonore UltraRendu and preferred the optical output of the SW-10 Pro to the OpticalRendu Deluxe so I sold the Muon Pro. | |
| LHY SW10 pro switch? I purchased this switch a couple of months ago. It has been a worthy addition to my system adding transparency and added flexibility with optical and RJ45 dedicated inputs/outputs. I use an Audioquest Firebird source power cord after trying severa... | |
| Vinshine Audio SUPPORT ISSUE! I just heard back from Alvin. He has been on a business trip with poor reception. He has always been excellent with communication. Send him another email today. | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer I just received my second Tai Hang. I plugged my amp and preamp into this unit with my digital front end in the other unit. It lowered the noise floor beyond the Audience AR2P. The soundstage is now pinpoint accurate and it seemed to extend the fr... | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer I decided to order a second Tai Hang. My plan is to plug my First Watt SIT4, Pass Labs XP20 and ifi iCan Pro headphone amp into it. Currently, I have the preamp plugged into Tai Hang #1 along with streamer, DDC and Dac. When I move the preamp to T... | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer @daytrader I am contemplating getting a second for my stereo amplifier and headphone amplifier as I have been very happy with the upgrade that the Tai Hang brought to the sound quality of my front end. Do you have your front end and amps on sepera... | |
| Looking for HDMI I2S Cable Recommendation [Short Cable - 0.5 meters] I can recommend the AVPlay HD-300 which I use between Gaia and Terminator Plus. It beat out the Tubulus Concentus V2 in direct comparison. Tubulus Concentus V2 was a bit sharp and bright in my system even after 200 hours. The AVPlay HD-300 is clea... | |
| Finally! A Denafrips Terminator 15th review. (Hint: It did well) @fthompson251 I use the same Oyaide 510 clock cables between a Denafrips Gaia and Terminator Plus with great results. For i2S I tried a cheap Blue Jeans HDMI cable (it was OK, warm sound but missing details) Tubulus Concentus V2 (very detailed but... | |
| Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer I received the Tai Hang today. Took one week from Hong Kong to Canada. I am using a Purist Audio Design Dominus Rev. C power cord from a Furutech FPX-Cu outlet to power it. It replaced a Furman PST-8. Even in the first minutes it easily surpassed ... |
