| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? @moonwatcher What I did notice in the brief time I listened, was that bass notes, say on electric bass guitar were definitely more defined. I wouldn't say more bass slam, but more discernable. This was one of the things I did pick up on, plus bett... | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? @ozzy62 thanks Ozzy. That takes me back. Haven't done that for a long long time 🤔😊. I have vague memories of a hosting site called something like Photo Bucket, or something like that 😊 | |
| Denafrips Terminator 2 bs. ? @bcrock Thanks for this 👍 Look forward to finding out what has been changed | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? https://www.maverick-hifi.com/post/denafrips-pontus-new-version-13381323?pid=1339625822 As I can't easily post pics on A'gon, here's a link to a thread I posted in a UK forum with a photo of the 15th | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? @kairosman yeah, I was surprised to say the least. I didn't even notice the "15th" on the front plate of my unit until after I'd configured the I2S pin out 😂. I paid the normal 12th-1 price allowing for S$ to UK £ conversion, plus I took advantag... | |
| Denafrips Terminator 2 bs. ? Just to add; it seems odd that there’s been no hint of the 15th versions. Google turns up nothing at all, and both Denafrips/Vinshine’s web pages are only showing the 12th versions of their DACs. I would have thought there’d have been some teasin... | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? @curiousjim thanks 👍 I haven't given it much of a listen to be honest; I was so confused, I wasn't really taking it in as I normally would when receiving a new component 😊. What I did hear from it was impressive, considering I only had it plugged... | |
| Denafrips Terminator 2 bs. ? I started a thread yesterday, as I received a Pontus 15th after ordering the Pontus 12th-1. I too emailed Vinshine; Annie responded to say the Support Team would reply to my email. Looks like there are new versions of at least the Terminator and ... | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? @marco1 thanks for this, I wouldn't have read that thread normally as the Terminator is outside of my budget. I've had a response from Annie at Vinshine; Annie wrote "the Support Team will reply to your email". So, eagerly awaiting for the reply... | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator I've been looking at the Auva EQ's for my components/rack and Puritan 156. I have Solid Air Audio - Dark Stars (UK company) under my ATC SCM40's, but from the comments here, I maybe looking at the Auva 70's or 100's I have an old suspended wooden... | |
| Mood Definitely. If I’m in a bad mood; not always, but mostly, this will affect how I perceive my system. When I find myself in a cranky, crappy mood, I just don’t bother sitting down to listen. Luckily, I’m a mostly happy-go-lucky, philosophical, prag... | |
| Puritan 136 vs 156 for simple system The 2 Puritan products mentioned are definitely worth your consideration, but I would agree with Audphile1 re: upgraded PC's (if you haven't already of course). IMHO it's worth investing in to the network side of things: dedicated network switch, ... | |
| Node 2i + DDC Upgrade to PulseMini? Haven't heard the Pulse Mini, but I did upgrade my Node N130 to the Innuos Zen Mini mkiii with the Innuos LPSU some time ago; that was a significant upgrade. I'm sure the Pulse Mini, would be a similar if not greater uptick in performance. My Node... | |
| Aurenda and Tidal and Qobuz connect Cleeds is correct; Qobuz Connect is not a thing (yet). As with any streamer that supports Qobuz, it is only accessible via the streamers native app | |
| FedEx - strange shipping progress (to UK) @curiousjim yes! I agree, DHL I've found to be really efficient and quick |
