Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
Maybe when I have time (a week) I wil try to read through all that. I am not very techy, so messing with computers is not my thing, and why I went with the Lumin in the end. Thanks anyway- N Quarter

Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
Care to enlighten me on what these Laptops are, and why they are beating 50 K transport/Dac’s? I am guessing DCS, just going by the numbers. I tried my Laptop for a while using Jriver software>USB>Dac and a simple Ifi Zen stream kicked it to the curb sound wise. I have since moved on to the...- N Quarter

I hear you, too many tweakers in this hobby…they might only have time to listen to music if they have one box. I tell you, the P1 helps clean up the cable mess too.👍- N Quarter

Just buy a Lumin P1 and be done with all the nonsense.😁 I did, and it sounds just as good as the Naim ND5XS2 into an Mscaler/TT2 that I once owned. One box…does everything you need, plus it has Ethernet or fibre input, which I use. Tidal (MQA) is supported as well.😳 I have not listened to my own...- N Quarter

iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane
Me too,in fact my Roon trial for $2.00 is up this weekend. I decided not to subscribe since Tidal connect is working great for me. I use an S booster power supply with my Zen,and wired Ethernet.- N Quarter

CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE
Maybe it will match your current front end. It is getting rave reviews,latest and greatest tech. I am looking to eliminate some boxes,yet up the sound quality and the P1 might be the answer for me.My gear is right in front of my TV though,no need for long cables.- N Quarter

iFi Zen Stream: Setup, Tips, Tricks...
Hi Musicguy,I also am using an S booster with my Zen stream,set to 13.5 V. Quite good for sure, What Dac are you using with yours? I am using a Nordost Heimdall 2 Usb cable into a Musical Fidelity MX Dac. Upgrades are on hold for me now,until I can afford something that convinces me I need to...- N Quarter

Looks like the S booster is over twice the amperage then. I got the S booster from the same dealer that sold me the Zen stream, and he called his IFI rep to ask which power supply they recommend. All I know is it works great, and I have not had any problems since hooking it up.- N Quarter

Thanks for that info, I will talk to him about it, but that sounds like the one he described to me. That has to be the weirdest review I have ever read, i wish he would just get to the point instead of all the jibberish.🤷♂️ That unit definitely looks like something that ticks all the boxes for...- N Quarter

My local dealer has mentioned a new Lumin all in one Dac/streamer that was coming out this year.Hopefully I will get to hear one before I make any decisions on my next upgrade. He is a rep for Lumin apparently,has a new store opening in a couple of months.- N Quarter

iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane
My math tells me that they cost two times the Zen stream. Not sure why you think it is funny, but I already had the USB cable before I bought the Zen. The power supply is on home demo, so I have a couple of weeks to decide if I want to keep it, I will. I downgraded my source a while back to fund...- N Quarter
