Hey all, just wanna ask. If I’m using PC as my source, is it worth upgrading my streaming cable? Currently I’m just using a normal ethernet cable from router to PC to stream my music. USB cable connected from PC to DAC and also I’m using an integrated amplifier.

Selling this highly rated I2S cable and one of the reviews in forum touted this is to be better than Tubulus Concentus! Wonderfully constructed and brings about new level of music enjoyment to me. If not wrong, this is the top model in his offering for I2S cables Cable condition is as good as...

hi all, anyone has used this cable or heard about it to chime in your opinion on this? How's the sound characteristics like? And how does it fare with other similarly-priced range cables? Thanks!

interesting, something new to me and thanks for the tip. Shall try to clock my U18 and have a listen!

Thanks for the detailed reply! Just to give a little background, i currently already have U18, afterdark clock and R26 under my stable. Clock is intended for R26 at the moment but I'm contemplating to sell my R26. Thus im thinking if i can use the same clock for my U18 if R26 is sold :)

Hi, can anyone confirm whether U18 can be used in tandem with a 50ohm clock?

Hi all, understand that we should use a 3.15A slow burn fuse for R26. But is it ok if we use a 6.3A slow burn fuse instead?

If I’m using a desktop computer to play Tidal via dac (ie. no streamer), is it still worth it to get audiophile ethernet cable and ethernet switch?

Wondering if anyone has compared TWL high power DA power cable against sablon audio corona reserva? Though it may not be a fair comparison due to the price disparity, is it worth to splash out the extra dollars for the latter?

Credit to the peeps here with their advice on the fuses to upgrade coupled with the SR purple fuse promo, I went ahead with the purchase and it is currently already installed in my R26 within a week. And i couldnt be more pleased with the audio enhancements this tiny pill-like stuff brings to my...

I’m from Singapore which uses 230V like Europe. Meaning I need to get 2.5A fuse from online website like partsconnexion? And what if I use 3.15A?

I’ve seen many recommending a 3.15A fuse, but can I use a 2A SR purple fuse on my gustard r26?

thanks Jake! Did some read up and seems like afterdark is one of the more well-received clocks so just went for it. Guess sometimes it beats having pain once and get a better one than spending more money from progressive upgrades :gs1000smile: currently just plan to use the clock cable that...

Got no instructions nor specifications. Just some measurements of the clock

this is the one i bought (https://www.adark.co/collections/project-giesemann-ocxo/products/afterdark-project-clayx-giesemann-ocxo-10mhz-reference-master-clock-audiophilestyle-edition). It seems like a DC cable input on the right? And i cant tell if there is a internal power supply or not. Also...

hi, i just bought a afterdark ocxo clock for my gustard r26 dac. But as this is my first experience with external master clock, i'm only given a bnc cable. What cable should i also get to power up the clock?

Until the dust is settled, I guess the only obvious advantage OCK-2 has over AD is that the former provides multiple outputs which piqued my interest from the outset. I just bought R26 and may have plans to get a U18 and thus it will be good for both of them to be audibly enhanced by an...

Can someone provide a link where he bought his OCK-2 from aliexpress?

Hmm, OCK-2 clock or after dark prince clock?

are we able to use 75ohm external 10Mhz clock for R26? Or it has to be 50Ohm?

@cobrabucket thanks!

i mean all else is off (including the source, desktop PC for my case) and only the DAC is on. So even if there is no music, the DAC is still burning in?

but are your speakers on (ie. will there be any sound output)? If i only switch on my R26 dac, with amp and speakers off, is the burn-in process ongoing?

One stupid question, how do u all burn in your R26? Normal way would be through you using it on a daily basis but this is too slow if u don’t have the time to use it.
