Testing super capacitor tonight, moonriver2ti never sounded so good.



[data] Phone -> uapp
-------->>> cb19 -> mr2ti (nos, high gain ) -> bax pro
[power] Samsung power bank -> tc01a -> tc09s -> super capacitor

May I ask, is there a huge difference in sq using capacitor with power bank Vs just power bank and CB19 cable?

Not a huge difference. There's slight improvement. Similar difference to using powerbank with smartphone vs smartphone alone, just more pronounced.

I think it is very much a YMMV case: not every power bank is built equal, and not every dongle has the same sensitivity (or not!) to “dirty” power and enough bulk capacitors for transient demand.

JCally AP10, good for analog sound or so I’ve read? Does the balanced out help with stage width and bass depth?

Just seeing what options there are for plug and play balanced dongles that have a unique sound to them and are affordable.

It has a hint of warmth, not my favorite sound. I would personally skip the AP10 and get Colorfly M1P instead.

I like what I’m reading about the Colorfly in terms of sound but the reports of it getting hot under use is a turn off for me. What don’t you like about the AP10 by comparison? Do you find the coloration too close to neutral?

A truly extraordinary synergy... L&P W4 and Myer Audio SLIIVO SL-41

I got the EPZ TP50 a few days ago, prompted by Andy's favorable review. My initial assessment is that it's excellent, and a substantial improvement over the Tanchjim Space and the iBasso DC04Pro, at least through my MP145. The combination is pretty amazing, IMO. Looking forward to reading others' impressions.

I wonder if TP50 Pro would appear anytime soon, like with the TP20 and TP20 Pro

 

[Polky74]

Astell & Kern chain running in... first impressions soon...

 

[Polky74]

Truly an extraordinary combination formed by the dongle and the Astell&Kern amplifier. A very defined sound but at the same time very soft and rich in nuances. I will try the PA10 soon with other dongles, but I really like what I'm listening to and I think that, like the RA2BFE, it should be recommended to anyone who has a decent collection of dongles and wants to equip them with amplification at the level of the best daps.

Is a spare $35 burning a hole in your pocket? Then you might appreciate my latest review of the Penon OS133 dongle - which you're invited to read here.

Anyone here using the Moondrop Dawn Pro?
I like it with my phone, and would love to connect it to my workstation when I'm at the office.
However, I'm not able to make the PC detect the Dawn, even after installing the (awful) driver found on Moondrop's website.
Anyone able to make their PC recognize the Dawn Pro?

Strange... Absolutely no problem with my Moondrop Dawn PRO and my Windows10 Laptops, Linux-PCs or Android devices. No driver installed and OOTB recognized in Windows with up to 384kHz/32bit support.
