Btw I very warmly recommend installing the very latest version and enabling "Experimental" under Configure. That bundles those blocks together, which makes it much faster with NVME when doing those high sample rates (at least for me). I can now do 1024fs x 1 single pass under 30min for some 4min...

When listening to 1024fs x 1 with May, I get the same effect which I got when I heard May for the first time. That realism creates presence which keeps me listening. I've been listening to TC only, but now I also tried Susvara with 1024fs x 1 for the first time. Just wow. It's not just TC which...

I have similar relationship with TC. It's been on sale twice, but the price I've used has been so high that no-one has bought it. After two months apart, I put them on with absolutely no expectations. Then, boom. TC is such an amazing toy. It doesn't give you flat response curve, it's not...

Ace Ventura - Going Back (GMS & Poli Remix) -> PGGB DSD 1024fs x 1 -> May -> Bliss -> TC == Drug. That bass after 1 minute feels like the whole house was shaking. It's amazing how that reconstruction accuracy grows and reaches it's peak at one-stage DSD1024. It's so visible in bass section. Bass...

IMO one big thing that HQP teached to me is that there are many kind of filters, noise shapers and modulators and all of them sound different and different people have different preferences. My analysis of the situation is that some group of people choose products because of measurements and...

I originally posted about HQP potentially creating pops when using Direct DSD, but after long debugging I found out that adding and trimming silence when upsampling into DSD, PGGB creates pops into some DSD files. I leave this comment here in case someone else get similar problems.

Indeed, PGGB DSD is an endgame. My May absolutely loves PGGB'd DSD1024 and my computer absolutely hates it :)

You indeed may have been lucky, but also source rate matters. I don't have problems with basic hires either, but problems start at DXD rates and higher. I had white noise problems even with Hugo 2 + 2Go a few times when using 7xx rates from card, especially when changing rates.

I want to continue on this. It's been quite interesting to study what is affecting what. Intona clearly removes most challenges, but cable after Intona still affects sound, just to lesser degree. I get less white noise blasts with all the cables, but that ear irritation is still present with bad...

Got Intona 7055-C today. It seems to democratize cables a lot. It feels like finally Mojo can show what it's made of with 7xx/32 PGGB files. It was quite amazing already earlier, but there was some kind of instability in sound and with bad cables not only did I have constant blasts of white...

I have Douk U2 and Kabel Direct. Works well, but as I'm using PGGB, it's not an option due to sample rate / bitrate limitations. It's a really nice reference for what a quiet (no noise from USB) source sounds like with Mojo 2. Silence is blacker than black. That also made me realize how noisy...

Btw have you tried 7055-C with and without linear power supply? As Mojo 2 is not powered through the usb ports that are used for data, I guess it shouldn't matter, but I haven't digged deeper into this topic so this is just an educated guess. The chain I'm planning to use: Laptop (streaming...

It's been a while I listened to TC, but after fiddling a while with PGGB I've again fallen in love. I recommend others to try it. Pure ridiculousness when I that is fed to May->Bliss->TC. Somehow PGGB has nature that reminds me of tubes, but without harmonics. Music flows really naturally with...

PGGB is such another rabbit hole... I'm getting more intoxicated over time with May as well. I tried HQP filters today directly with original content and I'm starting to see my preference shifting into PGGB direction and what the PGGB dev mean when he talks about the importance of time domain...

Yes, I've listened to PGGB directly as well. I know that my setup has some "non-optimalities", but so far this has been the best middle ground for me personally. I really like Roon a lot and with HQP Embedded the client UI was quite a downgrade. Then I also have Mojo 2 so if I would like to use...
