My experience with the firmware update with T II from 2021. First time flashing 3.7: sound is thinner/brighter/less bassy and somehow weird and the high end is more attached to the speakers. The aes/ebu changed the setting to "dual aes/ebu" for some reason and my cd-player did not work until I...

Ergo AMT (backside):  

I also bought this DAC, two days in. I have a flu right now which makes my hearing very questionable, head and ears being full off nasty slime. I might post some impressions later, but so far the impressions are VERY good. Smooth and yet very articulate, authoritative bass and musicality overall...

Is anyone capable of measuring the jitter of his/her system with and without the DI in the chain and with and without oversampling used in DI?   Here's some jitter measurements made with ARTA using ASIO. It has measurement option dedicated to measure jitter and it's free to use, but...

My Maverick, after 3 months of working ok, started yesterday to make this quite loud noise/sizzling when there's no input to any of the inputs. Both line output and tube output make the same noise regardless what input is selected from input selector. As soon as for example optical input starts...

I measured Mavewrick with RMAA and E-MU 0404 PCI: This is not meant to be comparison of the sound card and Mave, but I'll still tell you that Maverick is much better sounding than E-MU. Measured specs of E-MU 0404: Measured specs of Maverick from left to right: 1. Optical in, normal...

Has anyone compared Mav D1 to Bereford TC-7520SE Caiman or Cambridge Audio Dacmagic or similar DACs?

I just ordered some Russian 6N3Ps and 5670 Raytheon tubes. Hope that Mavaudio is able to ship my D1 soon I opted to get my piece from new patch that is going to be in stock in Thursday according to Ryan. In new patch Mavaudio has reduced the head phone amp's gain from the original (unsure...

By the way, has anybody measured the THD%, noise level etc. of the Mavaudio D1 with Rightmark audio analyzer or similar? It is done just by connection the D1 in the middle of the signal path. Soundcards output (A or D) -->Tube Magic --> soundcard's input. I saw one measurement somewhere in...

I see the power cable question the way that if you use some kind of a power filter it's recommended to use also a shielded power cable after the filter so EMI and RFI can't get into the filtered power between filter and equipmment. Cables thickness should be greater with powerful PA-amplifiers...

Ok, that's good to hear. I don't think there is any design flaw in the D1.
