Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
Re: the guy who started Laiv; just read he was Alvin's lieutenant at Vinshine, not a Denafrips employee as per my earlier post. @classic8 I agree wholeheartedly, but we maybe jumping the gun. The signs are ominous, but it's just speculation at th... 
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
@tds3371 Wow! That is odd. Isn't the guy who started Laiv an ex-Denafrips man? Or have I imagined that?  
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
I was wondering how the SmoothLan compared to the ENO; I have my ENO plus NA streaming cable, between LHY SW8 switch and my streamer. I don't suppose anyone has tried a direct comparison by any chance?  
MQA....again.
@mahler123 it's difficult not to be cynical about all of this, for the reasons you've alluded to. It seemed to me a cynical attempt, as you say, to "headlock"  hardware manufacturers by puffing up the need/creating a market for a product that was ... 
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
@fthompson251 this did cross my mind too to be honest, as you can "Shop" and check out via the Denafrips site still  
MQA....again.
...or you could do both; the 2 things are not mutually exclusive, providing you have a streamer/DAC which can perform all unfolding stages of an MQA file 👍

Just to add; I've just checked Vinshine's site and all the DDC's are showing as out of stock too 🤔  
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
@pc527  I don't understand what's happening with Denafrips. I emailed Vinshine over the weekend; Alvin replied yesterday and basically said Vinshine are waiting for a public announcement by Denafrips, and that the 15th were released in an "unplan... 
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
My EQs were late arriving through no fault of Stack; held up by the UK Royal Mail, but Josh emailed to apologise.and to see what I thought of the EQs. Very attentive; great customer service  
MQA....again.
@wolf_garcia 😂 no, definitely don’t want your head to explode. Plus, think of the mess someone would have to clean-up  
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
@fynnegan you could well be right; I wouldn't rule anything out at this stage, with no official word or info on the full change log from Denafrips/Vinshine  
MQA....again.
I tend to agree re: MQA being solution to a problem that doesn't really exist (any longer). If this new venture is built around MQA I think it may fail, dismally. If MQA is their only USP......well we've been here before; I'm not sure what the log... 
Stack Audio Auva Isolator
@ozzy thanks Ozzy. I think you're right on both fronts; great product, reasonable price. Josh at Stack Audio was really attentive, over multiple emails, fast shipping, great customer service. I'll definitely be going back for more EQs and the Auva... 
Stack Audio Auva Isolator
I received my 3x EQ CSA 2’s yesterday; they came with wafer-thin, rubber like discs I assumed to sit on top of the EQ’s and act as a protection for the underside of the component, and/or to prevent slippage? I used them as such anyway To be hones... 
Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference?
