@Betzy , I am a bit lost on the site, What is the price for the upgrade? 540 or 590Euro? Do we need to return back/swap back the base unit? Thanks

I have an external clock but have not upgraded the firmware as yet. I like the external clock better. In your setup. I think the laptop - ethernet is sending a garbled digital to your audio chain. Which is then sent to your DAC. Even the upstream parts seems to matter a lot. I earlier had the...

I have the Morion switch feeding the DI20HE. Makes a difference to my clogged ears.

I dont quite know When I use DAPU (3.3VPP), the sound jumps to another level. You will love this switch.....

@smodtactical I use CAT6, shielded wire (Either Blue Jean or Audioquest patch cable). I have not done any detail comparison. I am also using Uptone Audio Switch. The switch is very important.

I just found this... Wow. kindly amazing thread https://www.head-fi.org/threads/little-dot-tube-amps-vacuum-tube-rolling-guide.563884/page-446

The best 6SL7 I have used was the metal base, Russian Military MELZ 6N9S (6SL7). The tube construction is immaculate, the plate is shiny and graphity, the parts inside is high-quality and very clean in its implementation. I dont know which year this was produced or the factory. So if there is a...

My firmware is still the old one. I use both in and out I2S. The output that I now use is via ACSS, which to me is superior, as also stated by Kingwa. I am feeding in the I2S from my Auralic Aries 2i. The HDMI does not work as my DAC uses single ended one and the DI20HE is not. I installed a...

Wow. Quite something @Wynnytsky . I bet it sound amazing? Mine is a full cast copper from Jupiter Condenser. The Autotransformer and the likes from Dave Slagle and the resistors from Duelund. Still in a wine box...a travesty. soon I will transfer this inside the box. Not many speakers allow...

You have nice taste. ;-) I also have a full crossover upgrade. Which is utterly important for these wonderful speakers!

I am dreading that just the 20HE with the Mac is better than (With) the Aries 2.1 streamer.... I also meant to say that I will 'Deep Burn' the Aries 2.1. I hope that will bring out its capabilities....

My 2c. Looooooong Burn in is required for the 20HE. The sound from the ACSS is better than the Std. The sound is indeed amazing with Capital 'A'. The Ultrarendu as a streamer was useless. Just the Mac Mini was all that was required. I have a new Auralic Aries 2.1, which stock was not at par...

You are right. The caps are not good. I am trying these DAC and will now buy one. Will upgrade the caps to suitable ones....perhaps Duelund or Jupiter (Yes crazy price...but may be the best sonic solution)....Any views on that?

Thank you to this thread. This MK3 DAC was with me as a friend lent this and was lying unused as I did not fancy this after an quick, initial listen. But now using the RT 5R4GYS & the silver, tall plated Mazda 12AU7 NOS tubes, the sound has fleshed out something quite amazing. The DAC only has...

Yes they are bright. If not then these may not be Telefunken? Also if this is one, then the bottom has a diamond embossed mark. Which your comments states already. If no embossed marking on the base, it may be a pirated one...
