Audeze CRBN Interview, Review, Measurements
The reason so many exhibitors didn't have broadband is that the hotel was charging a prohibitive daily fee to each exhibitor that made it unfeasible for most.- Marcner

Focal Utopia General Discussion
I would look into Norne Audio. I just got a Balanced Einvaldi cables for my Utopias. Nice upgrade over the stock cable. I have never been into cables as audio jewelry, but they are amazing to look at. They seen to hit the sweet spot for value\performance IMHO.- Marcner

Review: Resonessence Labs Invicta - new high end DAC/amp/playback system
Funny you should ask .Ihad always used the usb input but got a Allo Digione for another system. Just for jollies, I tried it on the BNC input of the Mirus Pro and ws shocked at how good it sounded. Clearly every bit as good as the USB IMHO. I doubt the results would be different with the AES input.- Marcner

Official HIFIMAN HE1000 Impressions Thread
No, nothing to do with the ECBA. Just a loose connection on the right channel of the HEK2. Its on its way back to HIFIMAN, whom I am sure will make it right. By right material, I only meant that some recording, like choral pieces, some electronica etc, have an almost surround sound like quality...- Marcner

Quote: I have HEK2 and the ECBA. Sounded quite lovely together. Absolutely holographic sound on the right material until one of the channels of the HEK2 went out:(. Waiting to hear back from HIFIMAN about how to make it right.- Marcner

It does depend on the browser used, but it is stranger yet. It repeatedly showed $3644 with Firefox. Switching to Safari or Chrome showed $2299.99. I then immediately tried with Firefox again and it then showed 2299.99! Very Strange but clearly still available.- Marcner

Review: Resonessence Labs Invicta - new high end DAC/amp/playback system
I talked with Mark at Resonessence today and asked if they have any plans to include MQA.They don't plan on including MQA in the foreseeable future, but did not absolutely rule it out. It seems it is doable but would involve expense that they don't feel is justified. They feel sure that...- Marcner

Review: Resonessence Labs Invicta - new high end DAC/amp/playback system
A number of engineering first company including PS Audio, Schitt, and apparently Benchmark also are voicing skepticism about the value of MQA. It does seem to put smaller DAC designers at a disadvantage. It remains to be seem how how music will be released, but Tidal has moved it beyond...- Marcner

Review: Resonessence Labs Invicta - new high end DAC/amp/playback system
At the risk of veering off topic, in the last paragraph are you saying that Tidal (or Roon) could upgrade their software to decode MQA and negate the need to have a MQA capable DAC?- Marcner

Review: Resonessence Labs Invicta - new high end DAC/amp/playback system
Hi I have a Mirus and thinking about upgrading, but hate to invest in a Dac that will not have MQA going forward. Does anybody know if the Resonessence Dacs are MQA capable and if Resonessence had plans to move in that direction(?software upgrade) in the near future?- Marcner

Per PS Audio, they are being discontinued and will be replaced. From their email.... NuWave Phono, better known as just the NPC, is our best analog phono stage ever. And now, it's available at nearly half its original price. So, what's up? We're closing out this wonderful piece of gear to...- Marcner

Official HIFIMAN HE1000 Impressions Thread
I just got balanced Silvergarde S cables for my HEK1000 from Norne Audio. It did take a while to get them, but they seem to bring out the best in the HE1000. There may be cheaper (and more expensive) alternatives, but I am pretty sure that I hit the sweet spot for cables for me personally.- Marcner

SF Bay Area Meet impressions (May 2, 2015)
I realize this thread has been moribund for some time, but wanted to mention that there was a three page showblog covering the event in the September 2015 issue of Hi-Fi News. Obviously the printed page is a lot slower that Head-FI. Especially when its goes across the Atlantic and back. For...- Marcner

The Astell & Kern AK240
After using AK connect, I suspect that AK will "support" Spotify and/or Tidal through AK connect so it might by an iOS or android app depending on your device. I doubt there will be apps or access directly on the AK240 itself. After trying streaming internet radio I bet the basic programming is...- Marcner
