MHDT Labs: R-2R NOS Tube DACs
...my very first MHDT Paradisea was what introduced me into the world of R2R dacs, as well as non oversampling with tube buffer. Here's a throwback review of what got me into MHDT Labs: https://positive-feedback.com/Issue38/mhdt_paradisea.htm Enjoy the music! *Edit:: I didn't write that...- Soundsgoodtome

What Are You Listening To Right Now?
Can I just say that this thread was one of the many highlights of this forum. The amount of well recorded albums I've discovered paying attention to this thread for several years has added so much music to my collection. Not to mention the fun times scrolling looking at album art. Keep it running!- Soundsgoodtome

MHDT Labs: R-2R NOS Tube DACs
Nice to see this thread have traction until today, been a minute since checking into the Hi-Fi world. As for the Pagoda being bright, it is their most "detailed" DAC... this tend to make it their brightest offering - although compared to sigma delta dacs, it's still quite more pleasing to the...- Soundsgoodtome

MHDT Labs: R-2R NOS Tube DACs
Dang, good to see this thread still kicking. Glad everyone seem to be enjoying these guys' dacs more, except for that humming issue. Hope it gets solved out, did tube rolling work or maybe separating the dac from amp -- try plugging one of the two in a different wall circuit via extension cable.- Soundsgoodtome

AUDIO over IP - REDNET 3 & 16 Review. AES67 Sets A New Standard for Computer Audio
24/96 is plenty, although it's usually components along the way in the chain that benefit from higher freq rate - not the dac itself (at least modern dacs). This is quite apparent with usb connected units but maybe not so much with ethernet chains.- Soundsgoodtome

AUDIO over IP - REDNET 3 & 16 Review. AES67 Sets A New Standard for Computer Audio
@gefski , which unit are you using? Attero Tech? Are you capped at 24/96 or is it capable of outputting 24/192? ------ I wonder if using a converter degrades the signal/timing.- Soundsgoodtome

AUDIO over IP - REDNET 3 & 16 Review. AES67 Sets A New Standard for Computer Audio
We ran across this same issue with the YGGY, now I forget what solution we came up with way back when (this was back in 2016). I do know that to get it to work with @gefski 's Yggy we had to pass-through my Matrix Mini-i which had SPDIF coax out. I do know he eventually found the right transport...- Soundsgoodtome

Face Mask Free-giving by HIFIMAN
These masks, if used by the public, should be by those who are sick to prevent transmission. If used as a protection mask, you'll need this surgical mask to be worn over an N95 and reuse the N95 while discarding the surgical. This is the protocol for emergency responders as well as health...- Soundsgoodtome

Seattle CAN Meets Genesis Advanced Technology 3/7/20
Would you agree that people in Seattle are more aware of this and are extra cautious at this time? Read; taking many precautions - sanitizing surfaces, keeping hands clean often, staying home when not feeling well, etc. More worrysome are places that don't have their guard up and not taking...- Soundsgoodtome

Seattle Headphones Meet 2020/03/14
How big of an event is this or how many people will make this? Does it make sense that Seattle now has 2 additional meets from other users when there is a main one we usually attend 4-5x a year? Might make for better meets to consolidate these events to the original meets vs spreading everyone... -
