I'm very happy with the update, I also agree about the vocals and mid range being better. When I updated the dac I believe it play for over a week before I had time to sit down and listen.

New board review. https://6moons.com/audioreview_articles/denafrips4/

One more thing I’ve noticed today is with the new board the USB input is more sensitive to cables, I’m using a USB cable now that was just okay at best now it sounds great, I had a all silver cable I used the most but not now.

Well I didn't have a whole lot of time but did sit down for an hour or so to listen to the Termy with and without my SU-6 DDC. My SU-6 has stayed powered on the whole time, I just swapped the USB cable from my Lumin U1 to the USB input on the Termy or to the SU-6 with HDMI out to the Termy. I...

Are you pressing the mute button first.

I still like NOS but on some music it's OS, neither one is wrong, same for the filters both are different and both are very good. Both filters work in NOS, one thing I'll change is the "Slow" filter both X1 and X8 light up and on "Sharp" filter only the X8 light is on. Hope it's not confusing...

Got the new board in Friday, running the USB input till this weekend and I will put my singxer su-6 back in using I2s to Termy and see how it sounds. Using the Sharp/Slow filters is a very nice upgrade. But you have to press the" Mute" button then press the "Mode" button to select filters, I...

Saleh, nice review and system, can't wait for all of us to get the new boards. Is it possible to use Chord's Mscaler dual BNC out into Termy's (new board) dual AES/EBU (with adapter)? https://www.fullcompass.com/prod/011887-neutrik-na2mbnc-xlrm-to-bnc-adapter

Yeah, I would hold off too. The new board might change everything.

The setup I like now (might change next week) is Lumin U1 USB > Singxer SU-6 hdmi out> Termy hdmi in (I2s), no upsampling. The Lumin can upsample everything to DSD256 but I don't use it, non-sampling sounds so natural and real to me with air in the room that I love. I go back and forth between...

Ordered, don't know how long it will take. I'm just happy it can be upgraded by me.

No power switch, just plug in the barrel tip in the back and it powers up the super caps.

I hear a difference but prefer it off. Interested in the DSP when it comes out.

I believe the switching supply feeds the super caps which feeds the unit.

I didn't listen with headphones to make my decision thats why I made that statement. Actually I like a tube dac with my headphones, its more relaxing to me.

Well I don't even know where to start, do you think headphones sound the same as large full range speakers in a room with space.

I'm not much of going on and on about details of my impressions on what I hear and most importantly my personal preferences in sounds I like but I lived with both Schiit yggy 2 and my termy for weeks, long story short the yggy was sold, this was with speakers if it was just with headphones it...

I don't think I've ever had any audio gear that would stay on 2+mins after unplugging the power. I only have 150hrs on mine and it's sounding great.

Lumin U1 mini is the source, no power conditioner. DIY PC to SU-6 from a power strip.

The U16 can sound very good but the SU-6 edges it out, especially with transparency. I'm using a Denafrips terminator dac.

My U16 is up for sale. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/fs-gustard-u16-ddc.905474/

Very nice, what outputs does the CDT2 have.

I'm using a Singxer su-6 with my termy too, it's the best sounding DDC that I've tried. Very happy with it.

Would it be safe to say a couple hundred hours of break-in before it settles in.

Looks like a very nice transport, I would start with a HQ hdmi (I2s) cable going to the Termy.
