Denafrips 'Pontus' R2R ladder DAC - close up view
Hello, everyone. I have a little problem with my very recently arrived Denafrips Venus, I hope someone, or even Alvin, can help me. The DAC works great through the USB connection with my PC, but I can't make it work through the coaxial or optical connections with my blu-ray player/source Oppo...- rixlbg

Thank you very much! You are right about that. Things often are a little more complicated and tricky here in Brazil, but I am going to give it a try. Be well.- rixlbg

Probably not rare: my Classic also cracked in the headband. But not my Pro. Is it the "replacement method" an easy process? Maybe I'll do that as well.- rixlbg

Focal SPIRIT PROFESSIONAL Impressions thread
+1. A big +1 on this one! I would love to hear an open-back Focal. It's a pity the dollar skyrocketed 50% in the last 6 months or so here in my country; everything got so much expensive for me. As a matter of fact, I visited Focal's website looking for any news on an open-back and saw that...- rixlbg

Sorry for the delay. I got busy these days. Quote: The Classic (compared to the Pro) is warmer, has a little sparkle but no sibilance and a sweet tone that gives voices a little detached print that I like. The Pro has more bass in comparison. The differences are subtle and I don't...- rixlbg

Hi, godbluff Thank you very much. Sorry taking a while to answer. You have a good timing, I am just in the process of comparing those cans. I think if I should do a ranking it would be: FSClassic > FSPro > L2 > Momentum The Philips L2 is a great hp too, but I feel it has a over...- rixlbg

New headphone amplifier from Bryston
Sorry, I got a little confused. Could you guys clarify me if that review is about one new model of Bryston BHA-1, a 2015 model if you will, or he is just talking about the "regular" BHA-1 compared to that 49 first units that came out with NO preamp output?? I could not find differences...- rixlbg

Hmmm... as it seems, the Pro and the Classic are not so similar. Maybe it is worth to have both. Thanks, Music Alchemist.- rixlbg

Focal SPIRIT PROFESSIONAL Impressions thread
Thank you both very much, joe and Music Alchemist. Great reviews, but I was wondering if someone here in the thread have had the pleasure of owing or at least heard both, just to add some new perspective. I don't know, but having both probably would be a little overkill, considering they are...- rixlbg
