Here a are few words on my experience with the Ciunas. To begin, it's replacing an MHDT Paradesia+, which itself replaced a Wyred4Sound DAC-1. I know there is a rather large price delta between the Paradesia+ and DAC-1, but to my ears, the Paradesia+ sounded far more like corporeal bodies behind...

Duly noted. But still, any thoughts on installing these? I will say the Ciunas with JPlay is revelatory. I'll give more detailed impressions at another time, but am unlikely to add anything that hasn't already been said.

Speaking of opamps; does anyone have any ideas on swapping out the opamps for something like Burson's modules to make the Ciunas op-ampless? I own a Ciunas and am currently still evaluating it to finalize my impressions.

It seems the link above no longer works because they merged my idea w/ a prior thread. Here's the link:   http://feedback.mog.com/forums/50607-feature-suggestions/suggestions/779971-increase-bitrate-or-use-lossless-compression-to-ge?ref=title

I just found and installed a foobar2000 app on android that allows you to control basic functions through your phone essentially making it a remote. It took some help from the dev to get it working since I'm using Win7, but once up and running it's a great little app. The dev also points out...

For Anyone who's interested, I confirmed with Rick Cullen and PS Audio that the DLIII does natively play files up to 24/192, but only through coax. It seems USB or Toslink are limited to (I think the number is) 24/96.

I like amazon.com, and they give you a recommended price for each book, so you can get an idea of what it's worth without asking too much and having it never sell.

I emailed Rick of Cullen Circuits to find out; he should know. I'm really hoping it does play 24/192, though, because after looking at a number of options this is the DAC I want, and I really don't feel like to having to find something else. Thanks for any help.

Does anyone know if the PS Audio DLIII will accept and process 24bit/192kHz data through the coax input. For example, will it play recordings from HDx and Linn Records at full resolution?

I'm looking for a pci-e sound card that outputs digital out via coax and has ASIO2 support. Thing is I don't need ANY other features, so I'd like to not pay for extra features I don't need. Any recommendations for a card that can output audiophile level digital out that meets the above?

I look at this way: the wire from the amp output all the way to the drivers are like a bunch of resistors in series. If you were to remove any of these resistors and replace them with lower resistance ones, you'd decrease the resistance of the entire series. When you have hair thin wire from the...

So, after an op-amp switch here and a tube roll there... and some pixie dust, I've managed to mostly get rid of the 1-3K Hz bump. Additionally the amp continues to improve with burn-in. Interestingly, it seems there's more improvement each time I turn on the amp after cool down than there is...

Been listening to the amp for a bit since I got it, but I'm going to hold off on official impressions. Although, the amp has some spectacular qualities, I'm getting an annoying bump in frequency in the 1K-3K range, and that annoyance is rendering the music quite unenjoyable. This could be due to...
