No such problems with the syllable for me. I don't have an issue with the stock tips either. The thing is they open up significantly after burn in. I wouldn't try to change anything or evaluate them until.at least 100hrs of playing.

Consider the Syllable S101, after 50hrs of play they are sounding pretty darn good.

The Ghent DC cables provided a nice sense of ease and liquidity to the mids. But they tend to be abit stiff so perhaps the angle DC connector option is more suitable. Does anyone know if there is any firmware update to the x-spdif2? Matrix seems very shy of releasing such information.

I just got X-SPDIF2 connected it in front of a microrendu with ifi and used the LPS-1 to power it. Using a cheap HDMI cable I hear a significant improvement in liquidity and transparency. Perhaps to a greater degree than adding a LPS-1 to a microrendu. Well worth the money! This also means...

Any idea what kind of adapter I need for my netgear r8500 router ? None of those provided by the DC ipurifier fit.

An important aspect for the dedicated server is that it needs to have the processing grunt to handle all current and future formats that the matrix sabre pro can handle. This means both 768pcm and 512/1024DSD. This is also taking into consideration that it can act as a roon server and with roon...

Do you mean to say that a SU-1 with I2S connection is only a marginal improvement over the stock sabre pro USB input?

Has anyone tried pairing the matrix sabre pro with a Singxer SU1 via I2S?

Indeed. They should consider making a no holds barred server. Maybe use the space saved from omitting the DAC portion for additional digital inputs and reclocking. They might also want to make the styling similar to the xsabre pro. Keep the same width but make it double the thickness if...

I have just received my Matrix X Sabre Pro and am just running it in. The question now would be whether matrix will consider releasing a version of the X server as a dedicated transport without inbuilt DAC since that portion will be wasted for X Sabre Pro owners.
