Having an original DAC-19 from 2009, I found that it took many hours, maybe 500 hours before the sound really opened up. 2nd influencing factor was cabling, 3rd was power supply cording and refinement. Still crazy for the sound after all these years. BRGDS,   patrick

Bimmer,   So basic question for me would be, having been following these threads on the 10th anniversary edition of the dac-19, a guy who has the c2c with the dac-19 powering  a pair of denon 7000's that were all purchased in 2009 find any appreciable upgrade in the already excellent sound of...

The glue stick included in the upgrade from Kingwa. What is that used for? TIA. (Getting ready to do the upgrade.)

Are many running the line out to the D10? Haven't heard many doing that. Almost all use optical. If using coax what cable would you recommend?

Another option for playing flacs on the mac is COG.

For each person approaching a person in a terminal state, it offers valuable clues to our own existence. What would you want to talk about on your final days? As mentioned above, just being there is important. You didn't mention if this would be one on one or other people would be there also...

Having the dac19mk3 paired with the c-2c, realize how dependent equipment matching and the interelatedness of components. To bring out the full potential of the dac19 I need to change the volume pot on the c-2c. The dak19 and the c-2c are being held back by the volume pot upgrade. (in the midst...

Wonderful commentary regarding the Phoenix and the B22. Now I know why your handle is "Yikes,"....A wonderful tease to buy the Phoenix. (at least for me..)

Be careful that you do not end up being her "enabler."

Thanks for the update Peete. The c-2c continues to shine.

Any update on the pot installation?

Thanks people. It's something I can fix versus "oh my god..." Will increase latency. I think switching between mediamonkey and foobar and tinkering with settings doesn't help.

Mode B, do I need to install that mode to switch between listening to flac recordings and watching videos thru vlc to eliminate the crackling sound present in VLC and imbedded web browser videos? Any impressions on the sound signature differences between using mode A and B listening to...

Loads faster for me. The imbedded video is nice. Agree the google plugins need updated. Now that google has Chrome, wonder how much the financial considerations will flow to Firefox.
