haha same boat here... got an email so i thought another 4 weeks maybe? But the CC LTD's are coming!

Not sure if this is the wrong approach but after some google searches I came across a post that shows how to make a bat. file to start hqplayer with its CPU priority set to high. Now I can upsample everything to 48k base DSD1024 no hiccups with most of the filters. Without setting priority to...

@jlaako is it better to use DAC CORRECTION w/ DSD512 vs no correction w/ DSD1024 on a Holo Spring 3

if anyone is building a computer to use HQPlayer I have an ASUS RTX 3080Ti for sale. I was running DSD512 on Gustard A26 with no problem on this GPU and the i7-8700k. Upgraded the computer at the beginning of 2024 and no longer need GPU. It was ordered on August 9, 2021.

if you use 220v then you need 2A SB 5x20mm. If you ever message Alfred he will guide you to the right fuse as well

go with highend electronics. If you ever blow your fuse they will replace it but to make sure email them and talk to Alfred you need 4A SB 5x20mm assuming you are USA https://highend-electronics.com/products/synergistic-research-purple-quantum-fuses?variant=39439459975286

According to Tim at Kitsune he said the serene is thier best pre followed by the bliss then the preamp in the spring 3

when we say loud what dB we talking? I used my airpods dB level meter and although I really enjoy levels up to 90ish my main is usually around 80ish dB

have a set of caldera suedes used for 4 hrs ..I prefer the thin lamb

very interesteing

i use Grand with headphones and IEMS and they are great for both....I dont notice the weight at all

nice to meet you on FB haha...great write up! can't wait and the itch just got worse!

Standby mode is when you turn it off and the red led shows and lot the green

Burn in is 100% a thing.

I left mine on during burn in process of amp and purple fuse. During this time I turned off the display so there was no led on. Tim also advised to turn off display if you plan on keeping it on 24/7. After burn in process I turn off by pressing the button to leave on standby. Usually takes...

I listen to the MK3 at -30 on the bliss lo-z...curious what you have them at? I run the AC at -15 on the bliss and w/ hqplayer that goes up to -6 because of the -3 limit and -6 PCM GAIN compensation

its like an AC on the go....I'd like to think of it like an AC-Lite. They are different but very similar at the same time if that makes sense. Paired with Cayin RU7 its just right for me. RU7 can power the AC as well but the AC sounds sooo much better on tubes and then the Bliss. I'd be...

AC on high z for sure...low z dulls it out. Because I use the bliss with IEMs as well I have to switch to LO-z for those and sometimes I forget to change to High Z when I swap out to AC and I can tell right away. Curious to what HQ Player filter/modulators you use now? Ive read your review and...

is it possible to use 4.4 and xlr output at the same time to listen to two different headphones? I know it was possible on the topping a90d. I don't want to blow anything up so thought I'd ask here first. Thanks!

after 500 or so hours on the AC I finally swapped the pads to Caldera Suedes. Definately airier? but the loss of bass made me want to go back to the Caldera Lambskin Thin too much. So after about 4 hours of listening I decided the Caldera Suedes isn't for me. I did order the new Caldera...

I was so close to buying the CO so many times after falling in LOVE with the AC. But somehow someway I was patient enought for the CC to come out. I prefer closedbacks because of the ambient noises around me like computer fans etc...

I should've done the same. Ill wait a day or two to see what people think of the hybrid pad...its the only one I wasn't too interested in but I guess we will find out soon.

countdown begins.... 4-8 weeks wait time? I guess Ill finally swap out the pads on the AC to suede and see what all the fuss is about while I wait.....maybe fire up the HA-6A, its been 5 months since I've touched it! and the blame is all on the BLISS. I ended up going with the suede top...

Met up locally and the transaction was smooth! Great guy!

it could possibly be the USB board in the Spring 3....I recently purchased one thru classified and it was a ONE owner DAC so the warranty was still in place since it is less than 3 years old. My USB wouldn't lock onto the signal at ALL. They sent me a new USB module and it was very easy to...
