| Which HDMI cable for I2S? @soix Are you still using the Monoprice cable? I see that Wyred 4 Sound has their 0.5M cable on sale for $99. I figure it's cheap enough to give it a try. HDMI PCOCC Premium | |
| Gustard X30 DAC More detail and clarity, but not bright or sibilant. Better separation of instruments. It's like one reviewer said.... It has the positive attributes of both a r2r dac and a chip dac. I was concerned about going from a r2r dac to a chip dac, but ... | |
| Gustard X30 DAC Yes. I've had one for a few weeks. It replaced a Gustard R26 dac. I'd say that the positive reviews that I read are accurate. I'm quite happy with it. I'm using an Innuos Zen Mk3 streamer into a Gustard ddc to the I2s input on the dac. I've ... | |
| Aurender W20 clock invalid?? you might check your menu settings. Below comes from your owner's manual. 9. Coaxial BNC Word Clock Input Connects to the BNC output of the master/word clock. Use a 75 ohm coaxial cable. Configure word clock input preferences in the "Advanced... | |
| Aurender W20 clock invalid?? Are you using an external clock? If not, there could be a menu setting for internal or external clock. If it's set to external and you aren't using an external clock, you would get an error. I don't have an Aurender, but that's how my dac work... | |
| Looking for a CD Player Unless you are using a separate dac, the cd player needs to have one built in. I have a Denon DCD-1700NE. For $1500, it's a really nice player. It has SACD, but you don't need to use it (if you don't own SACDs, you don't need the capability). | |
| How do you pick your gear? Tips and insights are welcome. Each of my pieces of gear has a different story. Back in the day (25 years ago), there was a good dealer in KC that had a nice mix of products to demo. I discovered Von Schweikert as a result. I bought my current Von Schweikert based on reviews an... | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp Sounds like a great preamp from the reading I did. If it barely fits, are you concerned about ventilation? Looks like it has vents in the top. | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp I haven't heard the PS Audio amp, but I have a Coda No 8 V1. I'm using it with a Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL preamp. I'm very happy with it. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Nightwish - Decades. It's classified as metal. I don't like most metal, but this stuff is pretty cool. | |

| Speaker List narrowed down… @motta +1 on Von Schweikert. I have the walnut version of the Endeavor. They are rear ported, though. I think it was mentioned that they needed to be close to the wall unless I'm getting posts confused. I don't think they would need to pulled w... | |

| Synergy Congratulations on finding synergy and getting off of the merry-go-round! I think I'm finally there as well. | |
| Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer @lanx0003 Interesting. I've never felt that my R26 was bright. I'm using a tube preamp, so that may help. I have various cables that have differing degrees of brightness. A couple of them tend to soften the sound compared to others. I don't ... |
