I'm using a Musician Pegasus r2r dac and it works flawlessly in conjunction with the Zen Stream. Coax connection has better sound than USB. It's not like night and day, but it's audible. I returned everything from Topping back to the store, the sound was flat, without dynamics, sterile.

I also ask how the left button should work correctly? When I connect the 12V power supply and then press the button, the ifi turns on and everything works as it should. When I press it after several hours of operation, ifi does not turn off. Even if I hold it longer. When I press the right...

I bought the IFI Stream after much thought and reading various reviews of other devices as well. I also took the price into consideration. I finally pulled the trigger. It took me a long time to get the hang of it. The device was practically non-functional. It was not possible to update the...

Both fuses must be functional.

I am very satisfied with the sound. It was just my reasoning based on the review that gave me doubts. Thank you all for your replies.

Not the innards of the amp, but the innards of the dac. Exit step dac, behind the ladders.

Thank you for your response. As I do not speak foreign languages, I translate with the help of a translator. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding due to an inaccurate translation. I have read several very positive reviews of the Musician Pegasus r2r dac. One was negative, but the reviewers...

Thanks for researching this topic. I have a Musician Pegasus r2r discrete dac. It has xlr and rca outputs. My power amp is a Saksa 85 from Hugh Dean. It is an unbalanced amplifier. I read many articles on the Internet that the sound through rca outputs is not as good as through xlr. I made BTSB...

As for capacitors, I have my own experience of replacing about 21 pcs in Sony WM1Z. Everyone there uses the top Audio note kaisei. It was very demanding and stressful. There is more bass after the replacement, but I'm not sure it was worth the effort, risk, and money for new capacitors and...

Try asking the manufacturer Musician about it. We'll see what he advises to do. Maybe put 2 X 2A fuses there. Sorry for the bad english, google translator.

There are a couple of 1A slow fuses in my Pegasus too and they work without problems. I replaced them with cheap audio Aucharm fuses from China. I paid 9 euros for 3 pieces

What do you mean? For me, misunderstandings may arise from an inaccurate translation using Google translator. I don't know English.

In my country, anything high-end is hard to sell in the local bazaars. This is how I bought the Pegasus in silver. Now I found another one. Black for 700 euros. Try looking at it. https://elektro.bazos.sk/inzerat/161404031/musician-audio-pegasus-r2r-dac-prevodnik.php

I use Pegasus only with RCA. I don't have a balanced amp. The sound is fantastic for me, I am satisfied. But I would like to try balanced (XLR) outputs. Perhaps a better quality converter from balanced to unbalanced output would help. I found this...

There are 2 x 1A slow (T) fuses in my Pegasus as well. When I removed the second fuse (required for 110V) and pressed the button, after a while the one required for 230V was blown. So I put both as they were before (2x 1A) and everything works.

I hope for everyone's sake that FIIO will soon be able to remove all the problems. I didn't have the patience and that's why I returned it. I don't regret it at all because now I enjoy a beautiful sound with the Pegas R2R dac and everything works on the first try. I'm writing this for those of...

Please help some of you. I need to calculate values for 10 band parametric PEQ equalizer for Gjallarhorn GH50 Jm. Here is a link to a page on how to do it, but I couldn't do it. I welcome any advice. https://autoeq.app/

Thank you for your response. I wasn't looking for anything better sounding than the Sony WM1Z. Paired with my headphones it plays perfectly for me. I was looking for a dac for an amplifier with several kinds of inputs. Something universal, with quality sound. Now I found it.

I returned the Fiio Q15 after listening to the Musician Pegasus r2r dac. Since I needed a dac mainly for a desktop amp, a desktop version was one option. I don't want to compare them with each other because of the different price, it wouldn't be fair. I ended up buying a second-hand Pegasus and...

Usb, line out fix. A little less bass compared to the Sony WM1Z. Bluetooth LDAC 96k, line out fix. You can immediately feel a smaller amount in the lower area via bluetooth. Saksa 85 amplifier, Quadral Montan Mk3 speaker.

Now I'll try it in a hurry but not very loud, I'm not alone at home.

I listened to it yesterday but mostly today for a few hours. I know that I am comparing incomparably, since these players are each in a different price category: DaP Shanling M3s – 300 euros, DaC FIIO Q15 – 400 euros, DaP Sony MW WM1Z - 3300Eur. Shanling was the first, years later I bought a...

Hello everyone. FIIO Q15 arrived today. (Ordered on Saturday at Hifi-Passion, price 402 Eur complete). I just updated the firmware. I couldn't find the Fiio USB DAC on the Q15 so I used this one: https://bbs.fiio.com/note/showNoteContent.do?id=201911191752415983705&tid=16 (5.58.0) Everything...

Thank you for the info. I already ordered.
