@Leto Dal i have both Niagara 1000 and ifi powerstation and to my ears ifi sounds a little cleaner, more detailed and brighter i thought it sounded more sibilant in the beginning but that might have disappeared with burn in time but not sure though. And i haven't compared them lately since i...

I noticed the ifi DC blocker 4A continues 7A max does hamper the dynamics of my Ferrum Oor/Hypsos. Bass doesn't reach as deep and drums don't pound as hard also I think it sound brighter and maybe more sibilant. I do think it can sound cleaner though and more articulate. But i prefer with out...

Thanks @Echalon i had been wondering about it for some time. I see it's the sum of all parts that count also.

Question. What does the 5N/6N/7N in OCC copper/silver mean? I guess its the purity. Is a higher number better then a lower?

I often think/assume if your Dac is a balanced internal design and you're amp is like the Oor balanced XLR in/out should sound best at least in theory. I have a really great and expensive RCA Cable though imo and don't own a XLR cable and would think i would need to invest in a similar priced...

Thanks @krude for excellent comparison :)

At least i have heard the output power of a Dac is important. Maybe the Hypsos can give it more faster transient power and cleaner power.

I would be interested to see your opinions if you try Wandla without Hypsos. See if it really needs it. I wouldn't be surprised if it does regarding sound quality.

I Removed the Ifi DC blocker and was surprised mine Hypsos where still as quiet so maybe i don't need it in first place. Also It sounds like the ifi dc blocker hamper the dynamics of Ferrum Hypsos/Oor. And makes it brighter, more sibilant and less natural sounding. Bass is deeper and more...

If i have said anything before that my Hypsos still hummed a little after using a ifi Dc blocker. I would like to revise that and say its almost or completely quiet now after further listening and paying attention for it. Just now to. Could maybe be some slight more electric noise/hum when...

Yeah i think mine is quiter at night then those busy ours in my apartment, so i have noticed this. I added an ifi Dcblocker that lessened the hum but not completely quiet all the time. On many times now i heard it very quiet where i could not detect a hum at night time. But on some occasions i...

So i guess you're in the room then :)

Now playing album by Global Communications - 76:14 Classic chill electronic ambient album. Have some soothing sweeping synths that make you feel good, i especially like the human voices synths sounds through out this album, they may be real voices not sure. Audio-Technica AWAS - Ferrum...

It certainly looks nice. GOLD🤤

I use the 2 pole EU plug. I have old wall outlets in my apartment that's not grounded in EU manner. The ifi powerstation always show red on the polarity check light diode thing no matter how I reverse it. No i only have the Grun with power plug coming from RCA Cable like the picture i posted in...

My Hypsos have a faint Hum that i am ok with and i think would be in spec. It does get a little louder when i turn it on powering the Oor. I placed an ifi DC blocker in the Hypsos input. I think it lessened the hum a little but its not completely silent. Have you tried reversing the power...

More then the Ferrum Oor/Hypsos with Susvaras? I think one of the reasons the Ferrum Oor/Hypsos become so popular was on how it drove the Susvara really well.

Started my playlist with classic albums ive added. Album now playing The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses. I think AWAS does great with most genres so its pretty all around imo. Not the best subb bass extension and dynamic slam though, so maybe not the best for electronic music but it got other...

Very nice looking setup.

Now playing album Charles Lloyd- The Sky will be there tomorrow. Nice sounding modern jazz album. The AWAS does sound great with jazz imo big fullbodied sound and great timbre. Audio-Technica AWAS - Ferrum Oor/Hypsos - Hugo2 - DMP-A6

I remember watching this video some time ago where passion for sound was trying different tweaks and ranked them of the audible improvement. Ethernet reagen was the network tweak. It did not do bad. This was his first and i think only network tweak video he have done and it was new area to him.

And one more option Just reading this review of the English Electric EE1 network filter. https://the-ear.net/review-hardware/english-electric-ee1-cleans-the-stream/

But still it was probably because you need to power it. One more unnecessary source of mains noise. I would avoid filters like that.

One more choice.

Bought the David Clark Head Pad. ATH-AWAS loosed some of its bass weight when i use the David Clark Head Pad. Otherwise works great for presure relief but resulting in not as good sounding. The clamp force gets looser with it and the earcups angle probably change then or how close the...
