| Denafrips Pontus vs LKS vs Gustard I don't use either HQ Player or Roon and am on a Mac so it doesn't do do native DSD in the first place. So I guess I can't help you with this. The Intona IS different, talk with Tim Connor at Kitsune he is very convincing and again has the measure... | |
| Denafrips Pontus vs LKS vs Gustard No I have not, but I can say this. With my XMC-1 I tried the Intona both with and without the Singxer in the loop, I much preferred the Intona alone vs with the Singxer. Tim Connor at Kitsune also stated the Intona had, or has considerably more ef... | |
| Denafrips Pontus vs LKS vs Gustard @tonediary, you must be telepathic as I just received the Holo Spring this afternoon. Was in the middle of some work and only able to hook it up a short while ago but have not had a chance to listen yet. It took literally 3 weeks from the time of ... | |
| Denafrips Pontus vs LKS vs Gustard @melm, I'm glad you posted this, very good info. Likewise I also had great response with Jinbo at LKS too. Didn't mean to leave him out but the further I looked into this I became enamored with the R2R Ladder DACs and this is what I wanted to try ... | |
| Denafrips Pontus vs LKS vs Gustard You bet I will do this. Yes it was good to have a rep located in the US, but I have to say that Alvin of Denafrips was always very responsive and informative as much as one could hope with an ever so slight language barrier. My guess is all of the... | |
| Denafrips Pontus vs LKS vs Gustard Thanks Melm! In the meantime I ended up ordering a Holo Spring Level 1 this past week, so we'll see how that goes. I would like to have taken it up a notch to the Level 2 or 3 but they were so back ordered I just went for what was available. Also ... | |
| Universal Players. Marantz 8400 vs.Denon 5900 Have not heard the Denon, but I have acquired the DV 8400 just recently and can say its awesome. Superb video, and all audio formats are excellent as well. I disagre with the above comment about the Marantz being bright, its anything but in my sys... | |
| Senn HD600 headphones = what Speakers? While I have not heard the headphones that you speak of, I would vote on the InnerSound Isis for three grand. When setup correctly many admirers compare these speakers along with their larger brothers the ERos to wearing headpones. | |
| Surge protection that won't affect dynamics PS Audio Ultimate Outlets, its a no brainer. I have tried these on huge amps, subs you name it, and they have all been improved by the sound of the units.routlaw | |
| Information on Empirical Audio IC cables My findings were just the opposite of Tekunda's with these cables. So far I have found these to have the best bass and extended highs of any IC that I have ever listened to. As for the midrange, they also have the most resolute mids that I have ye... | |
| Best data connection between Wadia 270 and 27ix? I would get in touch with Steve Huntley at Great NOrthern Sound and ask for his advice on this matter. I know he also has contacts with another company that makes custom glass cable connects that are supposedly better than Wadia standards. Inciden... | |
| DVD/SACD on the Verge? All good post above, but in addition, one thing I am also finding is that the SACD titles that are available as a rule sound significantly better than redbook cd's on a redbook cdp. To be more specific just this last week I received an order of th... | |
| Balanced XLR cables suggestions Empirical Audio Holophonics, I have tried them up against some pretty stiff and extremely expenive wire and these win hands down. | |
| Electrostats Shootout at 4000 Corral I used to have a Krell amp for my extensively modified Martin Logan reQuest, but sold it to purchase an Inner Sound amp, the ESL which is the smallest. In every category the Inner Sound completly ran all over the Krell, no contest. I am not saying... | |
| PS Audio Power Port vs. Hubbell/Leviton Yes as I have just gone through this. It appears that the PP is a modified Hubbel hospital grade outlet. I have three dedicated lines in my listening room and have installed two PP on two of them leaving the third with hospital grade outlet. Jumpi... |
