    PhoenixNET Impressions

    I have the Net on trial and it does make a non-trivial difference to my system as well. Up until a couple of years ago i was oblivious to the effect of noise in my system, then got delivered a PH SR7 that fed my Sms 200 and that was an eye opener. Then, lately, i got an old Teddy Pardo PSU to...

    Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    This has been explained extensively earlier in this thread, the TT2 on its own should not need an LPS (per Rob W) but i seem to recall others have seen an improvement when a better PSU has been used with the mscaler

    Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    I had a look around for active speakers to pair with my TT2 or, more likely, with the new Mojo2.

From the more recent ones i could only find...

    In my case USB is indeed darker, more natural with more air in between notes and with instruments sounding closer to how they should. The XDuoo + optical sounds a bit harsher and more ‘digital’ in comparison. I should stress that this is not the result of a single upgrade, every step has made a...

    The XDuoo sounds really good but the SMS chain sounds more analog and organic, i tend to listen to classical music and everything sounds more natural. To be fair to XDuoo, the SMS only betters it with the LPS, using Qobuz via LMS. Using an attached HD is noticeably worse with the LPS in the...

    I’ve been A/B-ing the last few days between optical in from my XDuo X10T II and USB in from my SoTM SMS 200 via IsoRegen, both powered by LPS, and the latter sounds noticeably better. Maybe it’s not a fair comparison but it demonstrates that the chain matters.

    Don’t forget that, last we heard, using an LPS with TT2 would void the warranty
