Usually +30% is recommended for audiophile fuses, so 1.3A in your case

I am hearing more emphasis on highs with the correction enabled Small adjustments although substantial RAM usage when both the first "matrix pipeline" and the DAC correction are checked. But I am not sure if this is the only right way to enable the new function. Will it also work with the...

Same observations here. When I was trying out different external power supplies of the streamers USB output with a dedicated 5V in, which was further connected to the PhoenixUSB and then to the DAC, I observed some palpable changes to character of the sound mainly regarding its density, flow and...

Dear Jussi, could you please start adding some offload to the Intel integrated graphics like Iris Xe or UHD? I believe there is a substantial fraction of HQPlayer users with integrated graphics like NUCs, laptops etc. Allowing this dormant computational power to uplift the performance will be...

A clock upgrade would be desirable. The May now has Crystek CVHD-957, which is slightly inferior according to the specs to another Crystek CCHD-957.

Separating by a vibroisolation platform will bring even more benefits:

Could you provide the source for this statement please? Sorry for the off topic

Exactly. It is difficult to assess as to how far the offload helped, but it seems that I unlocked some new combos that were playing with shuttering previously.

I did with an i7 13th Gen (4 P-cores + 8 E-cores) and filter offload. I compared the utilization of each core in the task manager and the utilization of every core exept of one inreased (see attached v.5.4.0 vs v. 5.4.1 with filter offload enabled on the same track). The overall utilization...

I followed the guide and used an 3.15A fuse. However, it seems that there is place for another fuse. Innuos uses the fuse drawer from Schurter 4301.1413 in its products, with a metal bar in parallel to the the fuse. Shall it make sense to replace it with another audiophile fuse? I guess that...

According to my experience, the Master fuse gets significantly better starting from the second week of a non-stop burn in (14*24 = 336 hours, which is in line with the SR requirements).

Now give a try for a SR Purple or Master fuse.

Thank you a lot for your valuable explanation, GoldenOne!👍

So there is a trade-off between the worse Holo DAC perception of DSD512 rate and the superior behavior of 512+ modulator at this rate as compared to DSD256. Based on the measurements above is it possible to recommend for Holo DAC owners the optimal combination: DSD256 rate + ASDM7EC-Super 512+fs...
