Thanks! The purple fuse is on my list of items to get. I also just got in a pair of 0.01 Dueland CAST Tin/Copper bypass caps as an option to roll when the detail from the silver Duelands can be fatiguing. I actually got a couple of 6SN7 pairs, GE and Raytheon from a local vintage audio shop for...

MP-DX: Dueland Cast 0.01uf Pure Silver Foil, Jupiter Copper & Foil 2.2uf, General Electric 6SN7-GTB, ESS 9039 Pro, AS338 Femto Clock. This has the best bass than any other DAC that I've used and the detail retrieval/imaging with the upgraded caps is out of this world. Using Airplay through the...

Dude, I got the exact cable you got and a different one for $30ea on Ebay....holy crap they are awesome. Not just looks, they perform very well. I'm never paying more than $30 for IEC cables again. It's amazing what you can get now on Ebay/Amazon now vs a few years ago. Thanks for the heads up

Lol, only a small amount of YouTube reviewers are NOT paid by them. FYI, YouTubers can say "(insert name here) did not influence or pay for this review" and they have no legal obligation to abide by that.

The Dekoni's break in after a short period. Become very, very, soft. My Clears with Velour Dekonis are my most comfortable headphone by far.

Single Ended is higher gain/louder for me too. Are you using external input?

I was looking at your hardware and was wondering if you could answer a question of mine. Audeze has been my benchmark for headphones for the longest time, had all the LCD’s ant one point. Just have the 3/4 now. Recently I got the OG Clear. IMO it is better than anything Audeze offers. Do you...

Does anybody have experience changing the raspberry pi OS on the MP-DX? Garry mentioned on his quick start manual that Volumino OS is compatible, provides a link to their website but this only provides instructions for flashing SD card. The OS can be configured via phone app for Direct I2S DACS...

I owned both, and put my hands on both, I could not leave my hand on the top of S17, I can leave it on the TA-22 all day.

lol, if the TA-22 is hot then the S17pro is Molten Lava. It does get warm, a lot of circuitry crammed into a small space, has decent venting though.

I returned the S17 Pro today. My unit, the bass was weak, the midrange was veiled/harsh at times, and the treble wasn't smooth at all. It has good image separation....thats it. In my opinion, this is another over-hyped product from dishonest/naive YouTubers that people are trying to make sense...

thanks, yea that's chart seems fairly accurate

Ok, I was starting to like this amp. No temp issues as long as I don't use fancy cables. No volume issue with FW 5.5. Sounds pretty good but a relay switches and momentarily cuts the sound for a second at random intervals every 5 to 30min. I can hear it coming from the chassis. Seems to happen...

It went down 2 degrees to 60

It's stable at 62 degrees now with no fan. It was the "premium" cable loading it down. FogCityAudio makes some great affordable cables, it even sounds better at a fraction cost of the ripoff Kimber Kable (they make great interconnects though). If any of you are experiencing overheating and are...
