Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2 Using a preamp, we feel Firmware fpga1_208_Antero or the first fpga1 228 Massive sound better. The new fpga1 233 Massive is clearer and can have more detail and a larger stage however for us just doesn’t sound as "real". Just a little thin soundi... | |
New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport @dhungana, hmm. Have you tried DSD over DoP, or only Native? Also, do you have the RS130 set up with volume control enabled? | |
New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport may not be a great pair with the RS130 all PCM design, considering I will not be able to do a direct DSD source to DAC @dhungana, I’m not sure if I’m reading this correctly. The RS130 does do native DSD out if configured to do so. | |
Soundsmith cartridges Thanks! | |
Soundsmith cartridges @dogberry, which SUT if you don’t mind my asking? I’m using the same cart while SS is looking at my Benz LP-S. I have it loaded at 825 Ohms with my XP-17 and I’m enjoying it very much. | |
VPI’s forum is back… again Unfortunately you have to rejoin this new forum. | |
Eversolo v. HiFi Rose Maybe I should have said yes, it is somewhat pricey. My first response doesn’t read well. 🙂 | |
Eversolo v. HiFi Rose Understood. It’s not a cheapie. | |
Eversolo v. HiFi Rose A good idea. | |
Eversolo v. HiFi Rose Well,I can see that if you don’t already have a DAC, yes it can get more complicated. | |
Eversolo v. HiFi Rose Simple, if you need a DAC and don’t have one, get the RS250. Otherwise get the RS130. It’s a darned good streamer. | |
Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast Not at all. Nor am I saying they don’t matter at all. At this year’s AXPONA I attended Galen Gaeris’ tech talk, where he explained how the engineering affects basic parameters for cables. It was well attended, including a very well known member o... | |
Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast So all these other high end manufacturers have just been guessing up to know? I suspect in more than a few cases, yes. How many of these wire and cable guys actually had a degreed electrical/RF engineering background when they first had “an ide... | |
New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport but as an EE he's very technically inclined and said it has a lot of settings that are less than intuitive to use. Took him over a month to figure out many features I was an EE before I retired, and also own an RS130. It’s not that hard. 🙂 Ye... |
