Have you tried up sampling with hqplayer? I find that certain filters help with the slight forwardness in the sound. FWIW, while I always found my r2r-11mk2 enjoyable, little things like power cables, line conditioner, and better source all helped make it sound a bit better. Things that made...

This.

I thought USB sounded better than the Douk U2 Pro on my Ares II.

New Jersey, USA. As for which album, I have no idea. Probably something like IU's Flower Bookmark 2 as I think it's well recorded/mastered, and is comprised of covers of songs that I've been listening to since I was a "wee lad" as my parents listened to the the originals of those songs. I'd be...

Great communication and transaction!

I woke up and a video about the Piety came up on my YouTube feed, and ended up buying it that day. I'm going to try not to buy at launch this time around, but we'll see :sweat_smile:

Hiya. The PSU you linked is a 5v 4a power supply, but checking the Uptone Audio website, it looks like it originally shipped with a 7.5v 2.9a PSU. Have you tried a 5v psu with the USB Regen?

Denafrips has a product called Arse? As if the Ares, Ares 12th, Enyo naming convention wasn't confusing enough, now we gotta deal with Arse, Arse II, Arse 12th?

Have you considered a Raspberry Pi or some other streamer like the WiiM? Or are you specifically looking for something that runs Windows?

Interesting. Looks like it has the same footprint as Asgard 3/Bifrost 2/Jot2? Anyone know the expected pricing?

Can you post more pictures of the PSU? Already have a Pi4b and LPSU that I was thinking about just adding a HAT to but this is tempting.

Ooh, I will try uninstalling the Amanero drivers. I haven't tried that yet. I've tried a bunch of cables, most of them 3ft, some 1ft and 6ft ones. I also tried on desktop, laptop, phone, (all of them in airplane mode) and raspberry pi (but i don't have a good power supply for it). I couldn't...

There's a screenshot of my foobar preferences-->output-->devices tab. When I switch the Amanero USB Driver (in exclusive mode) Bits to 32, it changes the sound that's distinct from 16 or 24. Also noticeable when I change the settings in Windows sound drivers and listen using Amazon Music. Hard...
