dCS Bartok
My friend and I just compared the Bartok to the Ayre QX-5 Twenty. We both preferred the Bartok. It's noticeably quieter. We compared on the ethernet input. Yes, I know that the Ayre QX-5 Twenty sounds better on the USB input. We will compare Ayre QX-5 Twenty USB with SOtM tX-USB Ultra versus...- Limniscate

I don't think so. I know the song well enough to know there's no distortion in the track.- Limniscate

Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
I heard the Hugo TT2 and MScaler on some Audeze LCD-4 and was stunned to hear distortion on Adele's Hello. I did have the volume around 6 or 7 on the TT2. I don't know if it was a fluke or what.- Limniscate

I just received notification today that my upgrade is complete and is on its way back. I shipped it in around the first or second week of September. Schiit emailed me confirming receipt on 9/18.- Limniscate

I just compared the Yggy Analog1 to the Terminator and strongly prefer the Terminator. Is it worth the extra cost? That's hard to decide. I'm sending in my Yggy next week for the Analog2 upgrade and will compare again.- Limniscate

Life after Yggdrasil?
No, not even close to the same thing. The AQ Niagara is, I believe, a power conditioner. The Paul Hynes SR7 is a linear power supply.- Limniscate

Life after Yggdrasil?
It sure does. I waited for over a year for my SR7. It's some cable that Jim Weil recommended. The good thing is that we could directly compare his normal wiring and outlet to the 6 gauge with Weil outlet. The difference was noticeable.- Limniscate

Life after Yggdrasil?
I used to be into headphones but now am mainly a speaker listener. I was listening to the three DACs on my friend's modded Sennheiser 800 on a Cavalli Liquid Gold Amp with ZENith Mk. II SE music server to a SOtM tX-USB Ultra. The tX-USB Ultra was powered by a Paul Hynes SR-4 LPS. The SOtM...- Limniscate

Life after Yggdrasil?
I heard it against an Ayre QX-8 and iFI iDSD and thought it sounded tilted. It's not neutral-sounding. It's heavy on the low end.- Limniscate

REVIEW: Comparison of 5 High End Digital Music Servers - Aurender N10, CAD CAT server, TotalDac d1-Server, Auralic Aries, Audiophile Vortex Box
No idea, I've never heard the standard version. There's a guy on computeraudiophile.com who has the standard and is getting the SE. I noticed you're using a Devialet. Are you using USB or Ethernet from the Innuos? Which one sounds better?- Limniscate

I agree and wasn't implying that it's universal. Another user said he preferred the SR Black to the Blue on his Audio Research REF6 preamp.- Limniscate
