If you are interested in exploring, try powering it with either a Sean Jacobs or Farad Super 3.

You will love it. btw, how is the Hugo TT powered?

In perfect functioning condition. Despite being a very old model from dCS, still beats several new age DACs. Best way to get into dCS sound. Shipping is free for US48. PayPal fees included in asking price but if buyer uses non-fee based option, $120 will be knocked off.

Comes in original double-box packaging. Price includes shipping to US48.

I wanted to check if anyone knows that if I wanted to run a Freya S with an external DC supply, would I need one rail or two or more? If so, what voltages would those be? Will it be easy to find the entry points for these DC supplies? If anyone has, could you please share a clear picture of the...

Does anybody know if Ground Master needs to be used with only Puritan's products or can be used with any power distribution system that has a ground post?

Another soldier from the field reporting on Puritan Ground Master and it is fantastic. Very oxymoronic kind of situation - change is subtle but the impact on the overall listening experience is substantial. This thing takes you towards realism. Everything in 3D sound space is traceable so...

Power cable is home-made 10AWG Romex and Cosemi USB cables. Cosemi uses fiber optic in their cables.

Anyone moved from the likes of Equitech to Puritan here? Please share your experience.

I did end up getting one and yes, my system benefited. PhoenixNet is staying. It simply made music more palpable.

I wanted to check if anyone here is using Innuos PhoenixNet with Windows based computer as streaming source? I am asking because since the computer buffers the music, when I pull out the ethernet cable while music is playing (from the buffer), I hear the improvement. Is that the level of...

Here is what I can say about Phoenix USB. If yo have money and you are not trying this, you are committing a mistake, yes, it is that good. Logically thinking, it is about providing cleaner fuel to the system. What I can assure all is that no matter what your DAC is, this will change your...

I do not have courage to spend big on USB cable, so using these currently and am more than happy. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZPCSSRW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes, when you do this, you get to hear more(clean) music and solid imaging. In fact, I get better result whenever I insert Phoenix between DAC and any USB source, be it Windows, iOS or ubuntu.

I have these Dante boxes - one USB to Dante converter to be used on computer side and the second one on the DAC side is a Dante to AES converter. Once you have listened to your DAC with this setup of Dante, you would not go to any other streamers/arrangements. These boxes are from RDL and their...

I too prefer AES to USB. Mine is a Dante based setup and at one end I have USB to Dante converter while on DAC side I have Dante to AES converter. This setup sounds more real to me than directly using USB in on my dCS Debussy. Between computer and USB to Dante converter is where Phoenix USB sits.

Sorry for off the topic post but since you mentioned Audirvana, I would request you to try Steinberg WaveLab Element. This is an audio editing tool but plays music far better than other players, in my openion.

Yes, that is so right. Even in my system that consists of dCS Debussy and Rossini clock, it took my system to next level. Also, just for fun, I tried a USB headset directly to computer and then through Phoenix and the difference is day and night. In fact that is the test that will tell you as...

Up for grab is my Dante setup consisting one USB to Dante converter, Dante to AES converter and a PoE Ethernet router. If you have not listened to Dante yet, you have not realized full potential of your DAC. Price is inclusive of shipping and PayPal fees.

Latest owner of Phoenix and yes the effect is dramatic. Highly recommended for all those using computer/phone/tablet as source. As for effect, think of bunch of kids playing in schoolground vs same set of kids now assembled, lined up for assembly/prayer.

After getting benefits by replacing my copper ethernet cables by fiber optic, I tried this cable below on a hunch and got surprised as to how clean can get cleaner. Try this out and you may get surprised. I tried this because I read somewhere that fiber optic is NOT prone to EMI interference...

Not to argue but have you tried Dante for yourself? If yes, I will keep quiet but if you have not, I would encourage that you try. For me, it was like day and night kind of difference in experience. I felt as if the other players in the same area are not sure what they are doing. A big...

Just curious if yo have given Dante a try? Totally different and perfect (if I may say so). I too have been through those you mentioned and Audiophilleo but Dante connectivity by Audinate is so benign, it just does not do anything with the signal, signal remains pristine clean.

I would say relax, take a deep breath think, rethink, read and re-reread about Dante (as Gefski suggested) go straight to this if you like to save time and money. This is the real stuff in my opinion unless experimenting provides pleasure. And, yes, AES is better than USB that will be clearly...

What I can tell is that I did not merely type whatever came to my mind; I have been through this route of USB to coax/AES. With USB, you listen to more of USB implementation and less of DAC. When you have top of the line headphone amp and headphones, spend couple of hundreds on Eitr, and feel...
