    Holo Audio Red Streamer

    I wonder why they include HQPlayer NAA 5.0.0-59 when version 5.0.1-60 was released on April 3rd?

    Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread

    It's less to do with the quality of the signal and nothing at all to do with the quality of the toslink cable. Chord sent me a cable that didn't work at 192kHz and neither did my own QED Reference cable. (I also tried other cheaper cables that had been proved to work by other users). Chord...

    Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread

    Despite what it says in the Qutest manual, Chord do not guarantee that optical toslink will work at 24bit 192kHz. The correct spec is on the Chord website as 24bit 96kHz. This was confirmed to me by Chord themselves.

    An exploration of Chord DAVE, MScaler, Qutest, and Holo May, HQPlayer

    I'm shocked at this report that the static problem at 768 is still there with src-dx. I was under the impression that the root cause was the Chord USB input which was bypassed by double bnc?

    Audeze LCD-2C Classic - Impressions Thread

    I bought the new version second hand without hearing the original. I was put off buying the original version (which to some sounds better) because of cracking issues in the wooden cups.

    Watts Up...?

    In January, I was lucky enough to sit front of stalls at The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester for Mahler 3. Alice Coote singing directly down at me. A few days later the BBC broadcast the concert but the difference was night and day. I'm sure the main difference came from the position of the...

    Schiit Jotunheim 2 - Impressions Thread

    Yes, I use the Oratory1990 parametric EQ file. It lifts the highs in the presence region and keeps the bass full and tight.
