2qute is a marvellous dac and I am enjoying it immensely. But after a few minutes of listening with a new mcru power supply, there is a significant improvement to my 67 year old ears on what was already a lovely and detailed sound. Soundstage is deeper, midrange more delicate, instrument...

I was reading some of the criticisms and scratching my head thinking am I falling for the placebo effect. Then I read your synopsis and felt better. I hear all the improvements you hear too. The X3 is now more more musical and engaging than it ever was. PrAT are exciting and the soundstage...

OK developers, I gotta say although I loved the X-3 for it's capabilities and price, I didn't really use it a lot. Sure I'd take it into work and listen to a few tracks on night shift. But since this latest FW 3.0 upgrade, I'm addicted. The sound is lovely, very organic, tonally balanced and...

I'm stuck at work on a PC without admin access, hence the usefulness of an online source for unzipping RAR files.

I found a few references to this, but nothing definitive on how to remove phantom files from the X3 album menu. I've tried pulling the card out and updating the library, reloading the firmware, etc, but can't seem to clear them. Is there a procedure that works? When I select anything in the...

I've had the D2 for several months. It's my first venture with an external DAC and so far I have been pleased with the results. I would recommend going for the OPA627 upgrade. Mine arrived yesterday and after installing I immediately noticed an improvement. Lots more subtle detail in the music...
