Hi DACladder,   Did you try this as software: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/windows/ ?   Tini

It's different, the JLsound is an USB to I2S card. More like the Amanero. This uses Ethernet AVB (streaming) so you only need a network card witch is capable of the 802.1Qav protocol (and also a 802.1Qav switch) like the Intel I210-T1 on the computer...

Hi Xrobbo,   Yes, you are right but that doesn't mean it is the perfect solution. It is through Ethernet based on the Audio Video Bridging (AVB) standards. A standard switch will not work, so you will need a new switch in your network. Look at the AVB-DGK solution witch is also very...

In this manual you can read all about connecting it:   https://www.minidsp.com/images/documents/AVB-DGK%20Quick%20start%20guide.pdf   5V can be used from the M7 and it can be programmed but that's beyond my skills. It seems very nice and it's not expencive. I use there microfone and I have...

Hi guys,   I have a M7 with an I2S RJ45 connection but I use the Amanero USB and it sounds very good after a lot of tweaking with my computer. I was thinking if it's possible to use the I2S connection (in the M7, not the RJ45 connection) for real-time Ethernet streaming audio with the AVB-DGK...

Hi OneSec, You can get poor if you buy the best of the best, but as always you won't find the best value for money in that category. I am always looking for very high quality with a small price tag, that's why I bought the Ref 10. In my quest for upgrading the power source I found that the...

I bought it directly from Ortofon because I couldn't get it in the Netherlands. Just send a mail to info@ortofon.jp. They can tell you where to buy it or send it to you directly.   @Lorspeaker; would be interesting to compare. Looks also as a good cable.   Regards, Tini

Hey Clemmaster,   Yarbo 8000 is indead a little stiff but great value for money. I also use the Yarbo SP-PSC-3C to my speakers (Klein & Hummel O300), a little expencive but perfect quality. The guys at Yarbo know what they are doing ;-).   Do you use USB on the ref 10? Because then you...

Hi all, Using good powercords is a must on the Ref 10 and if you want the best also use a netfilter and a very good USB cable. It is no big investment but the results are very good. I use Yarbo 8000 and 9000 powercords, a Bada 5600 netfilter and the Ortophone silver USB cable. No high-end prices...

Hi guys,   I use a pioneer DVD player with spdif on the ref 10 but the sound isn't very good. My computer on USB (foobar with KS) sounds far better. I didn't try better transports yet but I think I can make an improvement here.   I used my previous DAC, NFB10SE balanced (XLR) to my...

Hi Sab666,   I had some little USB problems but no major. When 24/196 FLAC files are corrupt my computer (W7 64bits Kernel streaming) crashes (bue screen) and when I start my computer sometimes it does not see the USB connection or the Ref10. But normaly I can play all day without any...

I use the XLR outputs (on K&H O300) and there is absolutly no hum or noise, it's indeed a black background. If you are using the single output now the switch to XLR will be a great improvement. Enjoy your Ref 10.2.   Regards, Tini

Hi Guys,   Last week DHL dropped a Reference 10.2 at my doorstep and I want to share my reference experience with you.   A little history; this is my third DAC from Audio-GD and I have also the DI with power supply. The first one was the NFB11. Beautiful with a very good sounding DA...

Hi Borrego,   I ordered the PSU for the DI and I bought a new pc because I'm so sick of listening to dropouts....... I'll let you know if I have still dropouts with my new pc when it arrives. I'm convinced the problem is the 4310S and I suspect it's the power on the USB. Have you tried...

Hi Borrego,   I have read your post about your DI and the 4310s, 4 dropouts every once and again. I have the same problem using KS, Wasapi or Asio with Foobar and I'm curious if you already had solved the problem. Do you use the power suply or the USB power?   Because I know a little...
