Hi, Which socket converter do you need to use this with the WA2? I have 12AU7 to E88CC converter...

Thanks for sharing @Mather

You can see on my post above, using USBAPP did allow me to render MQA. With Tidal or Poweramp I can hear the music, but it's only playing 44.1Khz 16bit (Green light) or HiRes (Red Light) not rendering the MQA (Purple light) Here are screens from Tidal settings. Which screens do you want me to...

Yes, only after I paid for USB Audio Player Pro with the MQA plugin, I was able to play MQA on the M15 with MQA rendering. I managed to play a few MQA files I have (which didn't work with Poweramp) and Tidal through USB APP works.

Any help will be appreciated. I used my Questyle M15 with Pixel 2 phone and Tidal without any problem, each MQA album will turn the led purple and sound wonderful. Now with my new Samsung A53 phone, Tidal Master tracks are just green or red. I'm getting no MQA rendering. I upgraded the Firmware...

Fast Shipping, great communication, cable as described. Thanks Merv.

What is the length of this cable? Is it the 4M one?

I tried the Phonomena I with the wall wart. Phonomona II+ suppose to be an upgrade to that and has a better power source. With the same MC cartridge and SUT to MM both on Phonomena I and Brooklyn DAC+ the Brooklyn was quieter. I don't remember the exact differences in sound quality beside that...

I'm using the MM phono preamp of the DAC+ with Lyra Helikon and a step up transformers. It sounds great, better and quieter than Musical Surroundings Phonomena (older first generation) I tried. The MC sounds bad though.

Hey, there is a meeting tomorrow!   I'll be there.

I hate to see this thread getting so quite... Any serious comparison between the VLink and AudioGD DI on the way from any of you guys?

Quote: I had the same problem a few years back, when shared an office with my wife. I bought Etymotic Research ER4-S, in ear phones. She couldn't hear a thing and I'm enjoying them a lot till now. I also got a portable option. Didn't try them with the WA2 yet, but I think they will do...

I Guess it's going to be my first Head-Fi meeting.   I'll definitely bring my iMod with V-Caps dock and XIN SuperMacro amp. I can also bring my Benchmark DAC1 (non USB), if someone has a digital source.   Hear you there.

Quote: Which tubes are you using?   Once, after a surgery, I took a substantial dose of Oxycodone for the pain, and my system suddenly sounded like a six figure system.

Thanks for the help Clayton SF, I'll try it.

Is my tube a goner?   I just tried to put my new TS-7236 in my WA2 and felt something cracked, I took it out, and the small black plastic middle pin at the bottom of the tube broke and stayed in the socket. I managed to get it out of there, but the tube is now without it. Can I still use it...

Quote: Well, I saw it only after 6 hours. Guess I'll be joining this thread.   Just bought Tungsol 5998

Does someone still updating the list on the first post of this thread? This is a cd I have for a while. Classical Bach Work for Violin Solo / Lara St. John It has the HDCD logo on the back. Label: Well Tempered Production (WTP 5180) Works: Partita No.2 in D Minor Sonata No.3 in C Major

Sorry to bump this, but what about this for a solution? Canare BCJ-XP-TRB IMPEDANCE TRANSFORMER PLUG FREE SHIP - eBay (item 110329428038 end time May-21-09 14:52:59 PDT) You can get an RCA/BNC cable and use this adapter.

Hi, I want to build a small budget speaker system to use with my iMod and CDP. I'm considering the ALO modded Trends amp. Can anyone recommend speakers that match this amp, around $1000 (or less). I was looking through Stereophile's budget speakers recommendations: Renaissance Audio...

Thanks for the Info FenderP. I'm moving myself this weekend to north Jersey. I'll try to find a place over there to audition some receivers, including the Pioneer you mentioned. I hope I can find a place where I can compare them to a good DAC and decide if to stick with redbook for now, or go...
