I got my Pegasus a couple days ago so it is still going thru the burn-in process but I did had a listening session today and it is already sounding spectacular! Can't wait until the 200 to 300 hrs. it needs to be at it's best. I am using a Pi2aes and utilizing the I2S input of this dac and then...

Give the MELZ/Tung Sol blackglass combo a try if you can. Listening to it right now, the music sounds magical coming out of the SR1a. And you are not kidding about the cost of this combo, almost as much as the Freya + if not more. I got quite a few of these holy grail tubes in my treasure chest...

Running the Freya with NOS Russian MELZ 1578 black plate with holes on the differential gain stage (Right side of Freya) and NOS TUNG-SOL JAN CTL 6SN7GT / VT-231 Round Black Plates/Blackglass with oval top mica on the cathode follower (Left side of Freya) for me is a match made in heaven! Really...

Wow! That meet was really something else. Big thumbs up and congrats to @BIG POPPA for organizing this. Thanks to Gary at Genesis Advanced Technologies for the hospitality and opening up his shop for us local head-fiers. I hope more of these collaboration meets will be happening in the future...

I say don't let this Covid-19 scare prevent you from living a normal life. just my 2c.

I was on a roll last night so got an updated one that I think you will really like. Sent to your phone.

Gil knows that I'm definitely in.

Big thanks to @BIG POPPA for organizing as usual. I also appreciate the MOT's that attended and shared with us Seattle Head-fier's the products that they brought. Also, Thanks to Andrew @Soundsgoodtome for bringing donuts which is even better than pbnj. lol @johnjen 's Purp-Amp sounded...

Yeah! Hoping this venue is a lot better than the last meet in March. Lake City library had too many homeless hanging around in the underground garage.

Hey Gil! Voodoo?

So Andrew, will you be bringing some pbnj? lol. Got an Fioo X7ii I can let you use if I can make it.

Upcoming meet is here https://www.head-fi.org/threads/seattle-meet-saturday-sept-7.912800/

Next meet should be just around the corner. @BIG POPPA should be posting it up soon.

I have not. Too busy with work and other things right now. And the mods are very involving. Rednet 3 and D16 only deals with 5vdc so it was easy. Convert-2 deals with 5v, 12v, and +/-18v (dual polarity) so for the electrical/electronics minded, I have given you a clue. I got the regulators from...

Modding the Convert-2 is up to you if you accept the risks, although the way that I modded it, I can easily go back to stock if I have to. Just to let you know that the mods on the C-2 are not as simple as when we modded the Rednet 3. As for the NUC, well I have been using that ever since and is...
