If I have understood correctly, you can basically roll back to the other version if you really want to, but I don’t know if there is any chance of getting your money back - they could tie the software to your serial number or some other identifier and give you a trial period, but I really don’t...

Yup, I’m too curious not to

It looks like they have an analog, wired input and a digital, wireless input. So I’d assume the same thing you do, the question is, do you do anything that requires their internal DSP? Room correction is critical for me, so I’d certainly go the wireless route if the analog path would bypass that.

So the Oors outputs are always both on, if you run speakers from it and connect headphones, you’ll have signal on both, and no separate volume adjustment.

Recorded in mqa… if I ever produce anything again I will distribute a CD-R with a 7z file on it.

As of an email from Wojtek from yesterday: "hopefully soon" 😃

Why don't you simulate that right now and put a filter on the test files starting at, say, 18kHz and see if you can still hear any differences? would be interesting I think

Just a random interjection, I have another audio interface on the desktop for my active speakers because the Ferrum stack is not directly connected to the main desktop PC, but yesterday I decided to test it. the bad first: - connected to the Oor in bypass, my speakers did not turn off after 1h...

I don’t use Netflix, but I found this: https://videoconverter.wondershare.com/sync-audio/netflix-audio-delay.html Sorry sorry, back to the M-Scaler topic

You can do a lot with players like VLC that also accept web addresses as input, and there you can set the delay to exactly +- 2.5 seconds

Which rack is that, the hs400? I tried to find a good one for my stack and this must have not existed yet, so I made my own, but I like this better

I still have to change my profile to reflect my status as a dealer, but the Italian Ferrum distributor has indicated that I could order the GS edition anytime! Availability looking good.

I remember hearing through my active speakers when someone 2 stories above me would use a hairdryer… electricity is funny sometimes

It’s not bitperfect then anymore? I thought it’s just using metadata to change gain settings, not lowering the literal volume

Don’t be afraid 😁 I switched to Ubuntu when windows Vista was about to come out, so nothing was as stable as it is these days…. One day I had an issue with my graphics driver and had to ssh from my dad’s computer to either recompile something or rewrite some lines in the driver myself to have...

This absolutely helps, thanks! I’m assuming win10 or 11 as the OS, and that DSD512 in general is more taxing than, for example, PCM 1.5Mhz would be? I also saw that the 3080 has significant more CUDA cores than the 4070, which is what would help here, right?

Hey folks, I am currently stumbling over many online discussions about which hardware to get to run HQPlayer at pretty high settings optimally. I am in a bit of an interesting situation right now in that I’m buying a “new” PC for the sole purpose of running HQplayer, Roon will run somewhere...

I believe always upsampling to 384/352,8khz, filters are the handful that you can choose on the Wandla interface. But it would also be interesting to have an A/B comparison of the stock configuration, no HQPlayer, because that’s how they come out the box.

Yeah, let’s stay positive - the best DAC at its price point got a new version with more features at a higher price point, as is deserved. If nobody buys it, that’s solid feedback - if people go nuts and even existing users all upgrade, job well done. I’m curious.

Oh holy crap, Wandla freezing does not mean it stops playing, it means full throttle?

No, it says fw 1.2.2 is required for board 4.0 and up, not that board 4.0 would be required for fw 1.2.2 😊

Yeah, the Stellias are impossible without a piece of plastic between the cup and the headband to remove some pressure from the bottom of the pads… Utopia still needs it, but at least I can wear it longer

just checked, I am on hardware 3.0 and was on firmware 1.2.0, now 1.2.2

Same thing for me, Focal makes them too small, Audeze should include the extra long rods and Hifiman should pre-bend the headband. Nice to hear that Meze does it right, will join the club soon!

My setup is so compartmentalized… usb from the computer to the RME, next to that a raspberry pi and the Ferrum stack, and the Mojo connected to whatever device is closest. This will seriously bring things together
