    RAAL 1995 headphones, Magna and Immanis

    Thanks for the detailed writeup. As So Cal keeps getting hotter and hotter every year, I find myself grabbing the Raal SR1 for its off-ear cool comfort. Instead of SR1+1995 combo play, I will stick with SR1+speaker combo play :jecklinsmile:

    Amazon launches Music HD with lossless streaming

    I wish that were true. For some godforsaken reason, Amazon decided to label 16 bit/44.1 kHz files "HD," and everything else that's "higher," even when only the bit rate is higher at 24 bits "Ultra HD," which includes 24/44.1, 24/48, 24/96, and 24/192 tracks. In my Windows Amazon app, when a...

    Amazon launches Music HD with lossless streaming

    To be more complete, Amazon Music HD is not bit perfect *automatically." If you are a dedicated audio nut, you sit there and manually change the Windows mixer bit/sample rate to match those of Amazon music file's original bit/sample rate...EVERY time next song turns out to have different...

    Old "King" of R2R DAC Is Dead? Denafrips Terminator-Plus / Terminator+ Arrives

    Isn't everything in audio? There will be people who prefer OG vs second gen vs 12th, etc, etc. One man's "processed sound" is another's "resolute, detailed," and someone's "rich midrange" is another's "colored."

    Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread

    This goes away with a decent battery power supply for Qutest.

    Amazon launches Music HD with lossless streaming

    Which Eversolo do you have? I was quite impressed by how Eversolo A6 ME was improved by upgrading the power supply to Beatechnik LHY linear PS. Try listening with some decent audio chain to this well-recorded video:

    Amazon launches Music HD with lossless streaming

    Amazon just does not care. Tragically, this is unlikely to change since 99.9% of Amazon Music listeners don't even know what we are talking about here...

    Easily my favorite Le Sserafim song. Kind of reminds me of XG vibe..:dt880smile:

    Amazon launches Music HD with lossless streaming

    So if you don't like Apple and Wiim, you are SOL .. I was recently excited when I connected Amazon Firestick 4K->HDMI to spdif extractor and Firestick Amazon music app displayed it was automatically switching and playing different bit/sample rate. But when I connected a DAC with reliable...

    The Reference 6SN7 Thread

    It's not the "C" that makes the difference. It's the grey glass 6SN7 vs the black glass above. National Union Grey Glass 6SN7 is one of my all-time favorite 6SN7's, which I would take over Tung Sol roundplate, Sylvania bad boys. The black glass is a bit more neutral than grey but not as...

    Raal Ribbon Headphones - SRH1A

    Ahhh, I just love that Raal SR1 does not touch my face/ears, which is why it gets much more use than Abyss 1266 TC. Three ribbons...but touches face.

    Orgy of Capacitors: The Cap Thread

    Ahh, KPSR seems more available in EU, although can ship to U.S. with a shipping charge. Even then, quite a bit cheaper than Audionote Silver caps, or even Duelund silver.

    Orgy of Capacitors: The Cap Thread

    Where did you find Miflex silver capacitors? I don't see them listed anywhere. Also, 47 nF=0.047 uF, which would seem too small for things like coupling duties, so the 220 nF=0.22uF would be something I'd be interested in!
