| Clean AC power I have found tremendous benefit from cleaning the exterior and interior power.I ran 3 dedicated lines. I found putting my mono amplifiers on one line, my digital on another and analog on the third. I have a Denali on the analog and PS 10 Powerpl... | |
| Need a DAC Recommendation. I had a Yggy analog2 and much preferred the W4S DSD2 SE as a bonus it has an attenuator and can be a pre ampthe W4S was less fatiguing and much cleaner low end | |
| Streamer Advice / Recommendation for Denafrips R2R DAC My experience is that streaming quality is dependent on Ethernet quality. Cables switches and LPS for everything adds or removes harshness maybe more than the streamer/DAC.for me the English Electric 8Switch and Network Acoustics filter tamed a l... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? Waiting until someone makes a class A class DSome speakers like Magnepans need current I prefer 60 watts of class A to 1200 watts of class D | |
| Uptone EtherRegen I have both. I like them both but they are different. In my system the EE just made the sound sweeter and easier to listen to. I use the ER with fiber and an external clock and it strips away layers of noise, adds blackness. The ER with clock ... | |
| Best Bang for your Buck DAC ? I have 3 "audiophile switches" each with their own LPS. Not sure if any of them are highly overpriced or priced just right, but each as added a benefit. I have tried removing each and quickly put them back. I have absolutely no buyer regret wi... | |
| Help selecting a power cord. I was stumbling thru various power cords until I purchased 3 used Wywire Silver Juice power cords and heard a definite change for the good. I have since added several Platinum power cords and interconnects and am pleased with the improvement. | |
| dcs bartok vs DENAFRIPS TERMINATOR-PLUS If you decide to audition a Terminator Plus it should be with a Denafrips DDC to use the I2S input to the Plus. I have an Innuos Statement which has an excellent USB out, but converting the USB to I2S makes for a big jump in SQ from the Plus over... | |
| Has anyone added a Master Clock to UpTone EtherREGEN Yet? It’s Insane! I agree adding a clock to the ER has a very positive effect. I also found placing the ER closest to an Innuos Statement the best place. I moved my EE 8Switch from that position after adding the clock and it was obvious the ER was best closest to... | |
| Low gain dac! I agree with checking out the W4S dacs. I had 2 tube preamps in series and used the DAC to set the volume controls at 12 oclock. It is easy to attenuate the dacs output. | |
| CD v Streamed I decided a while ago that ripping a CD to a music server sounded better than the CD. I do not have an uber CD player- maybe that's the issue. There is no question in my system that music played from the server is much better than Tidal or Qobuz... | |

| Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system I am using a Mutec Ref10 to clock a SOtM switch and Uptone EtherRegen. Unquestionable benefits. Not sure if I have a real world system. It did reveal to me a harshness I was able to track down to SFP modules between the switches, got that fixed... |
