    Maybe, PAP allows me to plan out down the road though, if I have a 2nd system I will ask to buy the 15s and baffles only.

    PITA is a good thing, was using the Mint protractor the other day and I know I need to do more back breaking set up to finalize alignment, it will indeed be worth it. The Trio15 with horns are working very well, but I may swap in the Heil drivers soon to try.

    Watches - another passion of ours, it seems...post your pics!

    Daily wear is now the Omega FOIS, highly underrated imo. Sold my old Speedy mashed the GS, as lovely as it was.

    Got the PTP Audio solid 9 running again, using the Phoenix speed controller, vinyl is a pita but worth it.

    I'm a bit strapped for time, but here goes an initial impression list: Build quality is astounding Volume Control if you haven't used one like this can take getting used to the resistor ladder attenuator with its clicks; so far fidelity is great at low levels. I am coming from a Tortuga LDR...

    My iDSD has stopped working reporting some kind of driver issue; just after a slew of Windows 10 updates.   Anyone else?

    Holo Audio Spring R2R DAC

    Can someone speak with authority as to the output stage? Is there any difference in XLR vs. SE?    Discrete output?

    iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.

    Using JRMC on Windows I can send DSD512 via ASIO Native DSD, I doubt this works on the DX80. I have a DX80 connected via S/PDIF to my iFi when I travel and noticed the passthrough fails.   Most of the files I have on the DX80 are DSD64 so I don't think there is even a DoP output on the DX80...

    Reply to review by 'doctorcilantro' on item 'FiiO X5 2nd gen Premium Hi-Res DAP'

    "A DAP's most basic functionality is playing music."   Very hard to do when the UX design is crap. E.g. the iBasso DX80 does not support M3U or an Play Next function.   The lack of usability on many of these devices blows my mind.

    Are M3U playlists now supported? How is this feature in 2016 not supported on a DAP?

    If you want DSD256 on Windows, I had to install the newest driver which is not listed on the Web Page, but this Auralic Support Page:   http://support.auralic.com/hc/en-us/articles/222588028-AURALiC-USB-Driver-Version-3-34-0-   Using JRMC with pretty good stability in EXACT clock mode for...

    Anyone here own the new v2 Vega that does DSD256 out of the box. I'm guessing you are using DoP, and if you can test in J. River I am having problems with my v1 Vega doing DSD256:   http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,106659.0.html   thanks! DR. C

    Can someone least off a few similar players with SD capabilites? Must have good m3u support, play next feature, and spdif output.

    Can it do M3U standard yet?   There was a clunky workaround awhile back I could never get working.   Assuming this was fixed given I am on 1.2.1 firmware.

        Whew, it's back after re-install and reboot of driver. I still think I have the wrong firmware. Need to double-check, and figure if it is safe to move on to the new one directly.

    ****, I think I never noticed that the last firmware Strawberry was not for iDSD, I didn't see nano iDSD (wasn't aware there was there product). It was working fine afterwards for weeks, but now solid yellow light and device not detected in Windows any longer (by USB panel). That explains my...

    My Vega DAC has SPDIF that accepts only native DSD, not DoP DSD over USB, or native DSD over USB.   I thought max was DSD256 over DoP...mention by iFi in this regard upthread confused me. I think I used to understand this more, likely I have forgotten one can do DSD over USB in native with...

    I've been doing USB DAC for so long......I can't figure how I would test the DSD512 over S/PDIF.   Do I need a compatible digital i/o on my PC?   I figured I could change bitstreaming to S/PDIF in JRMC, and turn off DoP. But I only have a Realtek Digital output on the motherboard and it's...

    I used my iDSD in Direct while waiting for my Vega DAC to return. Sounded great and DSD256 with no hiccups using JRMC.
