REVIEW: Comparison of 5 High End Digital Music Servers - Aurender N10, CAD CAT server, TotalDac d1-Server, Auralic Aries, Audiophile Vortex Box
No, I didn't hear it in comparison with any other server, and can only compare it to my Marantz SA7-S1 CD player driving the same DAC. Of the two the Zenith is the more detailed and refined. My choice of server was based purely on the features the Innuos Zenith had to offer. In particular I...- Charnwood

I took delivery of the Innuos Zenith SE last week and mine is number 27. I ordered mine from Innuos about a month ago.- Charnwood

Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread
Not a football fan myself. I expect it'll be a source of some joy and much misery to the lads in the office this coming year, unlike Frank's cables which are always a joy.- Charnwood

Toxic Cables - Impressions and Discussion Thread
It's been a long wait but my Silver Widow cable for my Alpha Dogs finally arrived this morning. This is my forth Silver Widow cable, already have one for my HD600's, my HD800's and my Tralucent 1plus2's. On each occasion I wonder what the Silver Widow will bring the listening experience and on...- Charnwood

Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics
There were 11 left out of 100 at 5:50am here in the UK. It didn't say, but I assume an extra 40$ was required for international shipping.- Charnwood

I'm not sure that the first sentence quite reflects the look that they were aiming for.- Charnwood

Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics
Thanks for that, but they need to update their description of the Geek Pulse X to reflect the fact because USB is not mentioned as being an input.- Charnwood

Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics
I've gone with the Geek Pulse X upgrade but I'm annoyed that we loose the USB input and the DSD functionality as a consequence. Why an AES input? Who are they targeting this at?- Charnwood

MrSpeakers Alpha Dog Revealed! - The World's First Production 3D-Printed Headphones
When I ordered my Alpha Dogs at the end of August I hadn't seen Jude's video or read anything about them. It was some positive comments about the Mad Dogs that had taken me to the Mr Speakers website. I was after a good closed back headphone to pair with my forthcoming CEntrance HiFi-M8...- Charnwood

The Decware TABOO MK 111 Thread
If I recall correctly the old lucid mode was originally intended for use with speakers and so the effect with the lower impedance LCD-X should be closer to what was originally intended. I'm not sure that would be an improvement given that new lucid mode was intended for LCD-2's. I do use the...- Charnwood

The Centrance HiFi M8 thread
I sorry to say that, to date, my experience with CEntrance and the HiFi-M8 as been less than satisfactory. I pre-ordered mid December and finally at the beginning of the month a HiFi-M8 eventually arrived. Unfortunately the unit I was sent turned out to be faulty. This was apparent within about...- Charnwood

The Centrance HiFi M8 thread
I pre-ordered mid December and received the tracking info yesterday. The M-8 arrived lunchtime today. Sounding amazing but I have a problem. I'm hearing the occasional cracking sound, a spike of some sort. I hear it with both my iPod Classic and my iPhone 5 and with both my HD600's and HD800's...- Charnwood
