      I have the quad core upgraded 777... Was looking at the full upgrade however I need to put funds into other things for the time being.  Having said that the 777 was a pretty substantial purchase for me and I was happy with the original version.. My taste is towards DAC's that have tubes in...

    The FitEar CIEM Impressions Thread

      Hi    I realise it's not portable (not sure if you want portable or desktop) but the Violectric v200 works very nicely with IEM's especially on low gain mode.  Paired with a nice DAC it's amazing.  For portable use maybe check the Geek Out 100 designed for IEM's.   Are you able to tell me...

    Hi,   Can anyone please help me confirm the wait time on a pair of 334 customs? Jaben in Melbourne told me 2 months - however it seems that people are waiting up to half a year for their orders to be completed!   thanks,   gav.

    Hello ifi,   I already have the quad core board installed - will I be able to get the rest of the upgrades installed for a cost or do I need to purchase a new DAC?   Cheers,   gav.

    The Aussie distributor told me a while ago that the upgrade is still coming but not to hold my breath :)

      Yep works fine for me as well - the USB input on the 777 is based around the XMOS chip, which is well tested on core mode.  I think I had to load the GUI to install the USB driver and then remove the GUI and then it was fine..

    DNA Stratus 2A3 amplifier - first impressions

    The upgrade came to a fair bit more than I expected given the cost of shipping and a bad paypal conversion rate.  So I'm hoping it's a worthwhile upgrade too :)  Will let you know how it goes.

    DNA Stratus 2A3 amplifier - first impressions

    I used both - Initially just tried using RCA cables with cheap adapters to see if I liked the sound, and then I had Trevor at Norn Audio make up a cable to run straight from the XLR output of the AMR DAC to the input of the LCD-3's.

    DNA Stratus 2A3 amplifier - first impressions

    Hi Froger,   Thanks for your impressions :)  I have just sent my 3's back to Audeze for the Fazor upgrade.  It will be interesting to see how they pair with the AMR now.   I have a cable for the 3's that has a 4 pin balanced plug and a connector for SE, for me there was only a very slight...

    Thanks for your impressions - I didn't like the ican when I tried it, but it was v1, so maybe the latest  version is better.   I run the LCD-3's straight from the balanced output of the DP-777, using the internal volume control.  Sounds amazing, :)
