Happy new year!!! I have the one with the MSB modules, and have listened to the other two versions, the one with the first inhouse modules and the second inhouse modules. The latest model seems to be the better of the two but the MSB one is according to me the best of all. The MSB has a rounder...

The answer is: it is system dependent. The better connection is the i2s because it sends pure clocked digital information to the dac were it is used directly, either with reclocking or not (depending on the dac). All spdif/AES connections need additional decoding in the source (DDC or...

Ian Canada Hdmi Pro, works on all Rockna Dacs. Hdmi cables (for picture AND and sound) are all identical. Hiend hdmi cable might have different configurations. Your problem is configuration of your linux distribution. I have Rockna Wavedream with Hdmi Pro and Gentoo Player works fine. Two...

Ok, WaveLight Server, i was considering it from the moment that it was announced a couple of years back, but the retail price together with the not complete firmware made me look elsewhere and eventually into diy. I had been using RPi's and OdroidC2 for streaming so when i saw the newer Ian...

Thank you alekc! Sorry what is WLS? The thing is that AES (or spdif coaxial) means double conversions, both at the source and the dac. Multiple conversions means jitter creeping in. I have thought this for quite some time and have come to the conclusion that i2s signal at the source directly...

I completed (well almost) my streamer project with Rpi4 server/streamer with Gentoo Player in Squeezelite mode with LMS. Also, a friend made me an audiophile network switch (with separate linear power supply and new clock). The Player is using Ian Canada modules with fifo/reclocker and I2S...

Thank you for the answer! I tested the i2s inputs with a Singxer SU6 set for PS-Audio format and it worked, tested on random input because i had connected both i2s inputs with 2 long hdmi cables to be easy to reach in front of my rack, so i don't actually know which one worked but i have marked...

Hi all!! I am looking into using the i2s input on my wavedream (i have the first version with MSB modules). I have three questions: One: if you connect i2s does the clock setting mean that if you choose "local" the internal clocks still work and if it is set to "stream" the clocks of the...

Hi all, i am interested in buying the Red, but the local dealer here in Greece claimed (yesterday at the local hifi show) that he will not be bringing units shortly because there are major problems concerning stability and lockups. Is this true has anybody experienced similar problems or the...

I am using Signal Projects Hydra https://signalprojects.com/categories/power-hydra/ I get more detail, space and extension. I had these cables with my previous dac and they have moved on to the Wavedream. Perfectly happy and it is for sure a very audible difference to the Olflex 110CY 3x2,5mm...

I went ahead and had the hex grill printed in red. Wow what an esthetic and sonic difference this makes. Thanks again!!

Wow thanks man, i didn't know this existed, i was struggling to cut grills from metal mesh stationary boxes. This makes my life much easier. Are there any differences in sound between the more open and lesser (smaller holes) ones? Which one would you recommend i print?

I want to sell my pair (from Greece) are you still interested?

Ok! The whole of Saturday was Fiio X5iii day... I tried to find the versions of Google services you showed me, but it turns out that the version o Google Play services 7.5.73 (1976294-434) is not available for download anywhere and no other version (at least the dozen or so i tried) do not work...

Wow!!! Thanks a million!!!!!!! i am getting on it now and will post my progress!!
