Yeah, that´s my impression too. So I have the standard version. Haven´t really compared with or without the Intona, maybe I will do it right now.

?   I can only speak for myself. I´m not a Hi-Fi guy really but really enjoyed this thread and taking baby steps in understanding Hi-Fi gear. Love listen to music after I upgraded my setup from using USB input on my amp/DAC. The F1 takes my listening to a new level. Cannot really discuss...

Also using a Intona in my F1 chain and really pleased with the SQ. Think I´ll be happy for a while but keep watching this thread. Maybe upgrade my speakers instead :)

Playing with my F1 chain and again impressed how it sounds. My Hegel H80 pushes my small Klipsch to new hights.   95% volume playing Boris Blank Fat Roller. Streaming Tidal Hi-Fi. So smooth and detailed and full of bass even if I am pushing the system to maximum potential. It doesn´t get...

Intona powered by Aqvox psu.   Pretty happy with the chain since it finally beats CD/DVD players :) Maybe the chain with Uptone Regen and the Sbooster is better? https://www.sbooster.com/botw-pp-eco-5v-6v/regen-usb-hub   If using the second chain I need to remove vbus blocker or feed the...

Just thinking of a change in my F1 chain would be worth it. Found a used Uptone Regen (amber) and a Sbooster lps to the regen, about half price from buying new ones.   My chain now:   Intel NUC Sbooster vbus blocker Supra USB cable Aqvox psu Intona isolator Supra USB cable F1...

I visited him a week ago with my Baby Breeze feeding a 50 USD dac board and my wifes laptop. That combo played even with his CD player, a/b comparison. He played his best CD´s and I just streamed that same music through Tidal Hi-Fi.   The baby Breeze and cheap dac board is far far behind my...

Crazy thread    Just over one month since first post and now over 1000 posts. I have followed this pretty good but last week the amount of information is too much for me as a rookie in Hi-Fi.   I am happy though, got me the F1 and Intona isolator and my main goal is achieved. To get the pc...

Have not tried that really since I am happy with my setup for now. Have no such Hi-Fi ears I can do anything else than a/b comparison by switching input. But I can disconnect the Intona and try to listen for changes in SQ. Not today but coming days.

Today I made a head to head comparison between F1 and an old Pioneer DVD player. Last time I did it my old Baby Breeze lost.   Now listening with the DVD player and a wav rip from that CD with F1 and Jriver using ASIO it´s another story. DVD player plays with a little bit brighter tone but...

Interesting. Just bought the F1, Intona, Aqvox, a couple of Supra USB cables and those might already be outdated  Will follow this.

Tried to watch that an hour ago, already gone then.

  I will do that when the F1 have about 150 hours burn in. About half way there now.

Not really saying that...yet. I compared the Baby Breeze and cheap dac to my F1 with Hegel Dac. Easy win to my F1 Hegel of course.   The fun thing is that the cheap dac and Baby Breeze played even at my friend doing A/B comparison with his good CD player. Fun becuse he alway´s said computer...
