I have just learned Sonore have updated their Optical Rendu. Have any of you bought one? Curious how the SQ is, particularly in comparison to other streaming transports in the £1000/£1500 range: https://www.sonore.us/opticalRendu.html

I'm starting a thread for the new Denafrips Arce streamer. A perfect addition to the Denafrips line, and the next logical step following the redesign of the Ares 12th-1 to include a full aluminium chassis. The same design language appears to have been carried across to the Arce. Alvin at...

Does anyone know of a company that will build a custom I2S (HDMI) cable for me that will move the cable order at one end to allow use of I2S between a DAC and source that have different pinouts? Basically I'd send device and source pinouts and they'd send a plug and play cable that just works?

Per title, how do I get in touch with a Mod please?

Per title. I've started getting email notifications every time someone posts in a thread I am following. Annoying. How to switch off? Thanks.

Currently have full Blue Jeans looms in main system and headphone systems. Considering a switch to DH Labs. Have any of you made this transition and was it worth the effort for you?

Do any of you own an Audial S5? I am seeking owner feedback on it's performance and characteristics. I'm interested, but there's no home demo option and they don't accept returns. I really don't want to speculatively drop £2K on something I can't send back if it doesn't suit me or the rest of...

Please help. Bewildered by the options. I've had the NightHawks for a few years and really enjoy them, but I am about to order a new amp (GSX Mini) and want to take the opportunity to try some new balanced headphones with them. Have any of you done something similar? What did you end up with...

Currently using a Metrum Acoustics Aurix. I think it cost £1000 when I bought it a few years ago. Have any of you upgraded from an Aurix to something else? What did you go for? If not, what should I consider? Comfortable spending up to £2000

I am currently using AQ Night Hawk Carbon. Which headphones should be on my short list to upgrade? Pretty sure the last time I asked this the response was 'don't bother', but just checking again in case new products have been released that would offer a logical upgrade path.

Can anyone please point me in the direction of a CD based, high dynamic range recording of the titled artists? I recently bought a triple disc from Amazon, but the DR is only 9, so it's a bit disappointing. TIA.
