woot, it's here and working.. using the SMPS.. will try my linear power supply later

mine is scheduled to arrive on monday! the only dac I have on hand to compare it to is an eversolo dmp-a6 master edition with beatechnik linear power supply inside. I'm not great at describing sound differences but I'll try

I got excited by you comparing those two cables since I already had the dharmasteve xinhs copper/silver one.. I noticed a bit of brightness with that cable so ordered the graphene 7n occ 4 core cable you linked and sure enough it does seem to somehow make the highs less bright while also...

I think my unit is pre the sockets so they said I could mail my opamps in for them to use during the build process. They were super nice! Also maybe direct solder sounds better than the sockets ;)

Oh man, so I already had the sparkos opamps.. I thought they'd include a socket for easy plug n' play. I emailed them and asked if I could mail in my opamps and pay a labor fee :( LOL yes I already have a 12V 2A linear power supply with 2.1/2.5mm inner hot barrel I plan to use. and some...

Thanks for creating the thread! Regarding the opamps, I ordered mine with opa1655 because I already have lots of ss2590 opamps.. I asked Sheri if it’s user upgradable and she said I should use 6 pin pro to dip8 mono adapters from sparkos. So I got those. Can you elaborate on why you had to...

sold for $350 to jkspaulding

the new Geshelli Dayzee dac. it's their first full sized component. I already put a deposit down for one with a custom walnut case and red led-ring buttons and red transparent panel in the lid. yes I bought it for looks :D it has a big screen on the front too

Hi guys, selling my di-20 to fund new dac purchase. it's in 9.5/10 shape like new https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/audio-gd-di-20.63987/

Audio-GD DI20 - USB or coax spdif to coax/toslink/aes/i2s converter. This is the normal version, not the HE version with built in power regenerator. It has the highest level Accusilicon 90/98KHz clocks. I paid $603 - I'm asking $375 shipped, I pay shipping and paypal fee. You - be in USA and...

got my penon oss133 usb-c to 4.4mm adapter today.. only listened to a 3 of my reference tracks and already it's night and day better than the free xiaomi adapter I had.. sub-bass vibrations alone tell me how much better it is.. listened to the kick drums in radiohead - house of cards and the...

Dharmasteve thanks for that cable recommendation earlier in the thread I have single ended and balanced versions on the way..

Not yet.. should arrive any day now, tracking shows it's been in the usa 5 days already. I already have a balanced cable i can use with it, and I ordered that XINHA silver/copper mixed cable recommended about 10 pages back too.. but I'm sure that will take another 2 weeks to arrive.. this one...

penon site down for anyone else? I really can't wait for my OSS 133 usb-c to 4.4mm adapter arrives.. maybe monday or tuesday

Received my tsmr x 10th iems today.. one side was louder than the other and I did a bit of troubleshooting and it turns out it was the usb-c to 3.5mm adapter I was using.. my OTHER usb-c to 3.5mm adapter had balanced volume on both sides. I was so disappointed at first before I realized it...

Can someone explain what the “film retarding driver”. is or does?

well you sold me, my first iem purchase since covid began. and also my highest driver count iem ever. current nicest iems are yanyin aladdin

LOL thanks oneguy for the ebay auction with free shipping to hawaii. but usually they say "oh I forgot freight to alaska or hawaii is $300"

I followed this thread from the beginning and I could never find a big topaz with reasonable shipping to where I live in hawaii. A cheaper alternative that ships in a USPS large flat rate box is this antek 1000VA balanced isolation transformer.. it probably doesn't have the low capacitance...

switched from a peachtree integrated to a DI20, eversolo dmp-a6 master edition with the beatechnik linear power supply installed, going to a diy Aleph Mini speaker amp, Selah Voce 3 way bookshelves. I should have done this sooner, music is so much more enjoyable and long sessions are much...

I believe kitsune is one of their distributors

well, most digital streamers look very unimpressive inside.. it's all smd components.. it's cool LH is still alive and fixed your streamer. LOL maybe one day I'll get my LH labs speaker amp *painful laugh* ;_;

Guys did anyone figure out what makes the di20 stop working? I have the no sound issue again.. even though the amanero is set as the output device in windows 11. I can still play videos but there's no sound and when I do the sample rate test in the sound settings, there's no sound at any...

spent the last two days struggling to get my DI20 working again, stopped working randomly when I woke up. I manually deleted the amanero usb driver with usbdview utility, pretty handy. didn't help. I ended up having to use the windows 11 RESET MY PC function and that fixed it. Very strange...
