No, not at all. In fact when I was burning mine and I kept it running for three straight days and it didn’t even drop Wi-Fi once. I did have it plugged into USB-C for power

The criticisms of the Ultra may be fair, it sounds good with my Meze Empys plugged into the balanced output, but a lot better if I use the pre-amp out into my HA-300MK2. I haven't really heard any clipping when I use mine, that said I don't crank it, and I don't pay too much attention to...

I never felt like the DNA was slow or overly romantic during the few years I owned mine. I have a Cayin HA300MK 2 and thought the DNA was much more solid state sounding. But of course, this is partially down to what tubes you put in the thing. I absolutely would never characterize the DNA as...

I had the Stratus/Yggy OGA2 and it sounded amazing. I saw the threads about RCA being “gimped” on the Yggy and who knows maybe it would have sounded better over XLR but I never really thought about it while I was listening. I just enjoyed what I was hearing. A LOT.

Because it's a new product? Geez....

For 2K I would hope you’re happy!!!

I’m surprised to find myself saying this, but almost none of what you wrote above makes any sense. Firstly, given the saga with DCS last year, the last phrase that should come out of any audio manufacturer’s mouth should be “suitable reviewers”. This is a portable headphone amp, not a space...

Almost nothing on YouTube about it either. Maybe it’s the price point, or that the design doesn’t look that sexy. I’m really looking forward to hearing one at the NYC Canjam show

WE300B’s are bedding in nicely, about 50 hours on them already and they are sounding really good. The noise difference between these and the stock tubes was so significant that I switched from the 4.4mm cable I was using with the Utopia 2022 back to XLR with these tubes. They are so much quieter...

I got a pair of WE’s during this current sale. Been breaking them in over the past three days, and I cannot believe how much quieter they are than the stock tubes. Huge difference. They currently seem to have less bottom end weight but I know I’ve barely scratched the surface on break in. I...

Update: FIXED!!! rebooted my router, and now Roon sees the Ultra!!!

Thanks for all your posts and opinions about Roon. Unfortunately, I read them aloud to my Ultra and nothing changed, it still isn’t recognized as an endpoint by my desktop, laptop, or iOS devices. If anyone else here actually has an ultra and actually has installed the new firmware and actually...

There’s a new firmware update out for the ultra, downloaded it with excitement, but now none of my Roon controllers sees the Kann. This was not the case before installing the firmware - anybody else experienced this or have any idea about how to fix it? I’ve turned Roon ready on and off on the...

What? That’s terrible news. Such an asset to the community

It’s a little weird that Cayin didn’t really seem to promote this product at all and now there’s a new generation of DAC that they are promoting. But then again, they do seem to consistently bring new stuff to the marketplace.
