But it’s not the same design. The amp does not have single ended inputs for one. You can ask the moderator to delete my comments if you want, but I’m just saying it’s not proper to state, or try to infer that it’s the same amp in the review as it is not.

“Bob Katz review of the Dynalo Mk2 linked below”. Putting that link in there is tantamount to saying that it’s the same amp. Sure you did. If you knew more about Birgir’s amp, you would know.

This isn't exactly the same amp that Bob Katz wrote about.

Gotcha. I’m in the USA. Even though it did go relatively smooth for me, the guy who is the US distributor said that Final or Audio in Japan is it necessary the best at communicating

What country are you in? I sent an email to Final audio Audio on a Sunday and they responded back on Wednesday or Thursday. I think they told me it would take three or four weeks for me to get them back, but it ended up being about seven weeks.

I have no idea what it actually was. I just know that it seems to me that was the issue. On the other hand, they told me they couldn’t find anything wrong with it but replaced it anyway.

No problem. The left driver stopped working. I have a feeling that it was the socket that the cable termination sat in. I was actually the third owner and it had looked a little hinky when I got it. So even though they needed to replace the one side, they do replace both regardless.

I already stated above that they go back to Japan, at least if you’re in the United States. I sent mine back to the US distributor in December, they sent to the Japan, I got them back about seven weeks later. It doesn’t matter where you buy them in the United States. If you have an issue and...

No

Exactamundo.

They are pretty bad. I got lucky that I got a hold of somebody here. It just so happens that Final audio distributor is also the Cayin distributor for the USA as well and I knew him from that.

Did you contact Final Audio themselves?

That’s $4000 Australian. That’s about 2600 US.

I had a problem where my left driver stopped working and I contacted Final audio in the USA. I shipped it to them and they shipped it to Japan. They won’t replace one driver as they say they both have to match sonically. It was $1900 with the two year warranty. They actually ended up giving me a...

I was looking at the Power Holdings Inc. They have a demo US5 Pro at 17% off if anyone is looking for one.

Perfect. Thanks a lot.

That’s what I was thinking. My plan is to upgrade my K22 and then it will be easier to use HQP. However right now I want to see if this DAC is in the ballpark using PCM. That’s why I was curious which settings give its best foot forward using PCM.

I appreciate the reply. Not going to be applicable in my case was right now I’m using an Antipodes K22, and I’m not sure if there’s any settings to do that. I’m going connect it and let it play and if it sounds good, that’s great if not, I’ll pass. I buy equipment to plug and play and listen...

I’m getting the DAC 200 this week on loan to demo. I read through a lot of of these thread and saw some of the recommended filter settings. Are there any other recommended settings I should set to get a good indication of the sound? For the time being it’s only going to be for PCM. I’m...

And reading through the review of the Oladra, it seems to take the same path as what I said originally earlier today about what happens when you go up the chain. Some people might take that review as an upgrade, I would take it as a disappointment. Of course that’s based on my own musical taste...

I have a Paul Pang Audio OCXO Quad Switch that has a five rail linear power supply. I’ve tried others over the years and to me this sounds the best in my system.

My family actually has Giants tickets for close to 80 years now. I’ve gone back-and-forth with my brothers and father forever.

Is that the one on Hi-Fi Advice? I skim through that before I bought anything. I’ll have to revisit it. Btw, I’ve seen your name on other forums in the past, (I think What’s Best), and every time I see your avatar, I say to myself: “ God Damn Eagles”!! I’ve been a Cowboys fan for decades. 😃

If someone has listened to, or owned, and can compare the sound difference between the K22 on its own versus the K22+ K41 and/or the K50, I would appreciate it.

I use Squeeze. I hate Roon, Looks pretty, sounds lousy. I have tried it on every streamer I have ever owned, and I have a life time license. Oh yea, did I tell you I really don't like Roon? :)
