    Why do head-fiers ignore the Preamp?

    I've tried a SPL Phonitor2, Sony TA-Z1HES and both fall by the wayside when using the 1/4in headphone out from an Accuphase C-2420 preamp. Size is an obvious factor, most headphone amps are small form factor, the 17-18" preamps may not fit very well on a desk, but racks are no issue. Preamps...

    Eversolo DMP-A6 Network Streamer/DAC

    I listened to the Darko/Stoddard podcast where Jason commented on integrating displays (inference CPU to drive them) into audio equipment. His opinion was worth keeping in memory, and mentioned here for interest. Stoddard avoids the use of displays, probably cause it's more work to remove the...

    Eversolo DMP-A6 Network Streamer/DAC

    Not sure if this aspect is mentioned already, any type of OLED screen requires a swift CPU and overheads, better suited to a mobile phone environment where noise can exist with other noise and it's not a difference. When it comes to DAC circuits, the display would require some effort for noise...

    LUMIN - The Audiophile Network Music Player

    Roon is an app that tells you it knows better, but often with much annoyance, gets it badly wrong. If you are writing here, I can understand your post to try something different with a Lumin. For desktop apps, there are two I've tried that *work* with Lumin, Jriver and Audirvana. If you find...

    What is the best method to get digital audio from your PC to your DAC

    What worked for me after a long period of trialling cables and conditioning... Fix up the source PC by bonding hard drives cases, mobo, expansion cards to the PSU case. By creating the same chassis potential for these components avoids psu crud to be transmitted along the USB signal, with...

    iFi audio PowerStation - The Official Thread - New reviews at page 8 !!!

    Thanks for the reply, I can't use the Powerstation with a symmetrical supply, as it will trip. No problem, will move on.

    OK, put another way, at what voltage between earth and neutral does the powerstation trip at? That is assuming the output receptacles are switched off on fault and not just show LED.

    iFi audio PowerStation - The Official Thread - New reviews at page 8 !!!

    Does the powerstation indicate an error if the incoming AC is symmetrical, i.e. 115-0-115? There is a ground, so from either line, the voltage is 115V and line to line 230V. Is the iPurifier removable from the powerstation?

    Micro iUSB3.0 Impressions Thread

    The iUSB3.0 is a very stable device compared to the iGalvanic which I bought two of when released. The iGalvanic dropped out irregularly, the support dragged on for weeks, just had enough and sent the IGalvanics back and exchanged for the iUSB3.0. In some twisted blessing, the iGalvanic drove...

    Micro iUSB3.0 Impressions Thread

    Yes, I have seen this message from Jriver, and it can't find the ASIO device, it's like it's disconnected. Pursue with ifi now, and the best of luck in getting the USB3 to work. It does a great job (when it works).

    Hmm, that sound like a message from Jriver, is that correct?

    Micro iUSB3.0 Impressions Thread

    For Windows, if there are multiple USB detections, the poor OS gets all confused and then nothing happens. This can happen with mutliple disconnects. Download USBDeview.exe. The ifi may not be detected by it's name, usually the hub that it has, you can see it connecting in USBDeview.exe...
