| "The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism" This thread reminds me of the parable of the elephant. | |
| "The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism" @mijostyn As @mahgister asserts "... it can be much more..." The mode of perceiving the "more" could be described as mystical. Merry Christmas! | |
| "The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism" @mijostyn There is little if any mysticism in music Mystics would disagree! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Joanne Brackeen with a latin flavor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVX9dFbW2zw&list=OLAK5uy_nDC0263fbicKey1kgd0UW4zEDPmk9kiC4&index=2 | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @audphile1 It’s odd that the Simaudio transport with your Aqua DAC didn’t have the sibilance as pronounced as your Jays transport. Yes. This initially led me to assume the Jay’s was the problem but, in fact, when running it directly into the ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos Not 100% sure but that that might've been his final recording session. | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @audphile1 I had the PSM-156 and sold it. You can definitely try the Puritan. I highly doubt it’s your problem though. If you’re determined to make it work I would think that both the transport and the dac have to be looked at as a pairing or i... | |
| Hegel H390 DAC As I don’t know how long it might take to borrow something from the audio club, my plan is to order a Puritan PS 106-DC (the best Puritan unit I can afford, currently) and return it if it proves ineffective. | |

| Hegel H390 DAC @audphile1 @steakster Thanks for your perspectives on cable organization. @steakster I don’t believe I’ve ever encountered "rat’s nest" and "cake" in the same sentence before! ;o) As some one who loves to write, I admire your word choices.... | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @steakster From your virtual system comments: Cables: too close together - and/or - in parallel - and/or - even crossing at 90 degrees. e.g: This includes: power & signal, shielded & non-shielded, single-ended & balanced. Defini... | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @steakster Thanks for the useful clarification and link | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @steakster As it so happens, I read much of that thread but was quite confused by the contradictory opinions. I have my gear mounted in a heavy built-in bookshelf unit that is deep enough for a relatively large component such as the H390, but ... | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @steakster Yes; everything you suggest could prove worthwhile. Many years ago, Dave brought over a PS Audio power regenerator and we heard no difference with the system plugged into it but that system was much less resolving than my current ge... | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @yage This does indeed seem like an incompatibility and yet I have no other choice; utilizing the Hegel’s DAC Loop function requires connecting the DAC’s xlr analog output to the Hegel’s xlr analog input. I’ve been instructed it will not work an... |
