Innuous Pulse vs Pulsar
Pulse has TCXO clock while Phoenix USB use OCXO. Pulsar use OCXO light.   
Innuous Pulse vs Pulsar
I haven't but ordered the Pulse last week that should arrive at home next week,  During my search, I found that adding the Phoenix usb might offer better sound than the Pulsar that use usb reclocker light version.   
Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day?
Yes I would. 75$/day can save you many thousand dollars IMO, their is no better way to test a DAC and the sinergy with your system than trying it in YOUR system.  Personally, I don't need 5 days to know if a DAC worth its cupgrade 15 minutes is ... 
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Hello, anyone has experienced the PSVane 6SN7 tubes with the Aero Dac?  They are half cost of the Ray reserve and looks identical. https://www.amazon.ca/Matched-Classic-Psvane-CV181-T-Vacuum/dp/B00N8PD13W/ref=asc_df_B00N8PD13W/?tag=googleshopc0c-... 
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
It seems that my madness of upgrading DACs every 6 months (R26, Wandla, Laiv) stops here with the Aero Dac. I have listened mine for more than 200 h and it gives me all the soundstage size and microdetails that I was looking for.  It wants me to f... 
Eversolo DMP-A8
You can't have more than one output selected and working at the same time with the A8.  You could use all the A8 outputs you want connected on other devices but you must toggle between them. NOTE: you should use mode 5 in the LAIV for the I2S an... 
Eversolo DMP-A8
I2S is the best input for the LAIV  
Eversolo DMP-A8
I have the dmp a8 with Laiv dac.  You can connect all the outputs with wires to dac or amp. Only one output can be turned on and working between all possible output ( RCA, USB, I2S,  XLR, OPT, coax.)   
Have you heard LTA Aero, Lab12 Reference, Denafrips Pontus 15th?
As long as you can leave without MQA, DSD and no I2S input, and you already have a pre amp, you should be good. I must admit LTA customer service is first class.    
Have you heard LTA Aero, Lab12 Reference, Denafrips Pontus 15th?
I am auditioning the Aero Dac for 14 days.  I have the Laiv to compare that I consider in the same performance level than Pontus. Presently, the soundstage depth, height, microdetails,  clarity and 3D holographic is better with Aero Dac.  Normal,... 
LAIV Harmony
I am using the eversolo DMP A8 with I2S DH labs silver cable in the Laiv dac.  It brings me to 5,2k$ for streamer, cable and DAC combo.  Futhermore, the streamer has DSP to fine tune the sound as i want.  A lot cheaper than than your 6.2k$ and i ... 
Digital Reclockers are they worth the extra Effort - IMO YES
@mitch2,   Maybe adding a good OCXO clock in your SU6 10Mhz input would help to improve the sound? Daniel  
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Thanks guys,  It looks like the LTA aero is a better choice presently and Aqua La Scala is ready for an upgrade.  
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
LTA tube DAC design seems similar to the great Aqua La scala DAC but at half cost.  I would be curious if they are similare soundwise? About soundstage, holographic and instrument separation?  
Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly...
Now, let your A8 plays radioparadise for a week 24h/day and come back to us with your impressions. I would be really surprised to see that you still prefer the node steamer... The A8 is a completely difefrent animal with EQ, DSP, I2S, features.  ...
