Don't do this to me. I have a WA22 and have been thinking of trying a 300b amp, but was going to put it off for awhile since I bought the Tungsten lol.

Thanks for the impressions! I also have a decked out WA22 that I was wondering would be good enough for the tungsten and this makes me feel better about it. I have been thinking of trying 300b amps though (Cayin or something) but at least now I can take my time with that. Any word on what Ryan...

How would you rate the EHA5 vs the T1S and 717 with something like your SR-007mk2?

He could simply hire more people and become more like DCA or ZMF. He could submit a patent app for his current R&D tech if he was really worried, just like how DCA and ZMF does, and have stipulations in contract for the people he hires. I don't see him wanting to get picked up by a bigger...

Has anyone tried using using stax headphones with a stax SRD-7 or mjolnir with the 300MK2?

Has anyone tried the newer Sophia Aqua II 274b rectifier? Seems like an improved version over the original Aqua and woo is selling it as an upgrade now.

What time does the next drop happen on Nov 10th?

Anyone know if a WA22 would put out enough volts for the Tungsten?

It's possible. Though I did have it in a well ventilated area, plus extra feet that elevated it higher than normal. Honestly not sure. Also not sure if it had something to do with my USB glitching but I used it via coax mostly. I contacted Vinshine, hopefully they can help me out with this. This...

Welp, besides the problems I was having with my USB input, my Ares II shut itself off and won't turn back on. After the firmware update it's shut itself off maybe 3x since then, usually taking a few days before it does. Before I would turn it off or unplug it for a minute and it would power back...

Yup tried different USB cables and different ports. I tried to reinstall the firmware but still gives me error 044 or something. Supposedly it throws that error if it's already the same version. Edit: Not only that, the sounds I do hear when it's not stuttering sounds like it's sped up...

I got exclusive playback working but it still stutters. Before the firmware update my USB was basically plug and play without any issues. With the new firmware it still works fine with DDC>Coax, just USB stutters for some reason. Even if my player is set to WASAPI Exclusive or ASIO it still...

Interesting. Yea I did try it again, from the lowest to the highest. It didn't seem to help or change anything at all in my case. Just constant stuttering, some sounds are missed (windows sound effects).

Yea doesn't seem to do anything. I think it's only for using ASIO?

I upgraded my ares ii firmware and have been using it fine via coax. I just tried to use it directly with USB today and it stutters like every second. It sounds like it's super laggy. Anyone have any ideas?

After updating the firmware my USB is stuttering now, even in Windows. Anyone have any idea? It's fine with a DDC>Coaxial

Anyone know the DC cable size?

Good to know! Yep mine updated to 3.12/A22E1.6 at some point. It had always said it failed so i've never seen it say it was a success lol

This is good to know. Will check when I get home.

Don't think this worked for me, still shows A22E1.6 I believe the updated firmware is A22FA1.6. Did your upgrade complete without errors?

Been trying to update the firmware on my Ares II but keep getting error 044. Anyone run into this? I know one other person got this error but it auto fixed itself.

I got an email back saying they will send it to me in the next few days. Guess they're getting slammed by requests

Been listening to the Piety for the past few days too using my ZMF VC and Hifiman Edition XS. At first listen I was blown away by the sound coming out from something so tiny and inexpensive. It easily bests the Drop Carbon X and Singxer SA-1 solid states I have in terms of overall sound. I want...

PM

anyone know what Amp fuse to use for the USA/NA SA-1?
