| Upgrade Denafrips Terminator 2 @jriggy I went through a simple trade in process - Venus to Terminator. Took three months and in the end they told me to send Venus to Singapore. They did not actually have US rep so they were trying to find an open box buyer for me to ship to. So... | |
| Best streamer for Audio Note UK dacs Avoid what? They used the best chip available at the time. It does have particular sonic signature. I'd say modern AKM with Velvet Sound would be a good replacement. It is same technology, not Delta-Sigma as ESS. The problem is to find AKM board w... | |
| Best streamer for Audio Note UK dacs Maybe someone should take ANK 5.1 kit but put DSD DAC board in it… Business opportunity… sell assembled with newer chipset | |
| Best streamer for Audio Note UK dacs May I suggest trying DAC that is capable of high resolution and yet have tube part? Lampizator perhaps or Audio Research? | |
| Denarips and Vinshine split @upshift - they look like slightly discounted lower end units. I wonder if they are just refurbished units. For example, I upgraded Venus to Terminator. Denafrips is going to sell my former unit somewhere right? | |
| Upgrade Denafrips Terminator 2 Well Denafrips is popular and Vinshine frankly didn’t do much service. Time for Denafrips to grow and have real US representative. | |

| Solo streamer @invalid - true with Sony, but engineers were easily able to show jitter issue with DACs. Nothing fancy. Audio CDs were never designed to be bit perfect delivery of data. But networks are. As is USB protocol. We don’t connect hard drives, smartph... | |
| Solo streamer @mdalton - Amen. If it is engineering, they must be able to show what is it, exactly. Maybe even have a patent. Otherwise it is vapor. | |
| Solo streamer @soix you don't want to waste your time - so don't. And yet you keep posting long diatribes without any note of science. They are pretty personally insulting too and you also apparently acquired some right to speak for the community? You don't l... | |
| Solo streamer @soix nah, we just know how networks operate. | |
| Solo streamer @aldnorab - only if it is poorly made and cause data loss which you would immediately see in your computer operations (such as slow Web browsing or aborted file downloads). Otherwise bits arrive identical no matter what extender is. This is how mo... | |
| Best budget USB $8.99 Amazon cable. I am not kidding. | |
| Still Looking for a DAC - Audio Mirror Tubadour v and ANK Audio 5.1 As far as I know ANK still employs old DAC chip, 20 bit max | |
| Voltage conversion of Accuphase E-4000 This may help - service manual. You may be able to find your exact unit, or use schematic as a reference. See page 19. |
