CONDITION: I am the original owner and purchased the Chord DAVE in June 2020. It is in pristine condition. Handled once for installation and a second time for this sale. Includes original packaging and accessories. PRICE: A new Chord DAVE retails for $14,000. Based on hifishark.com used prices...

I apologize for the confusion. Just did a search on the What's Best Forum and only see discussion of a future Taiko Audio network switch and network card for the Extreme music server. I added a DAC into the mix by mistake, and have edited the listing to make it accurate.

PRODUCT NAME: Chord DAVE with Sean Jacobs ARC6 DC4 Power Supply and DAVE Capacitor Board DESCRIPTION: I am selling my Chord DAVE and Sean Jacobs ARC6 DC4 power supply as a turn-key system. The ARC6 DC4 is a powerful upgrade to the already top rated DAVE. System also includes the new DAVE...

I am getting ready to list my Chord DAVE and Sean Jacobs ARC6 DC4 power supply as a turn-key system. Both units are black and in pristine condition. Handled once for installation and will be handled a second time for the sale. The fully maxed out ARC6 DC4 is configured with the Mundorf...

NOTE: This is the HSA-1a amplifier which was replaced by the current HSA-1b version that added a 1/4” TRS connection, moved all switches to the front, and a volume control with 24 position stepped-attenuator. RAAL-REQUISITE DESCRIPTION: The SR1a is the world’s first Earfield headphone monitor...

Just wanted to let folks know that I've listed these cables configured for Focal Utopia on eBay.

So these are just now shipping?

Darko has posted his audition... Richer sounds with the Innuos Zenith MKII SE

Enjoyed reading your detailed report. Thanks!

Nicely done sir! I will officially cross my fingers for the DX Gen3 to arrive as well.

Thanks for sharing your detailed observations and experience. Over in the fantasy department... I'll try to locate someone whose taken delivery of a DX3 and bribe him to bring it over to your place if you get to audition the Zenith!

Yes the DMP-1 is a Roon end point that replaced a microRendu. And I agree with your observations regarding the removal of noise. My music library resides on a Synology NAS controlled by Roon. But when I want to dive into some serious listening of all time favorites, I switch the DMP-1 out of...

Regarding the Zenith, and after reading the Innuos website/reviews, I'm still not clear on the inclusion of both LAN and Streamer connections. Would I use the Streamer to make a direct connection to my Audio Alchemy DMP-1 (Roon Ready Player)? And if so, is there an advantage to that instead of...

Curious to know if either of you considered the Antipodes DX? I've read the reviews and inquired with both designers... as I've narrowed my research down to these two servers... but don't have the opportunity to audition either. And now the DX Gen 3 has been released. Was planning to add Roon...

Am seriously considering this sonicTransporter. I'd contacted Andrew last year to inquire about getting a customized version of the sonicTransporter AP (without the optical drive/slot, and upgrading some of the specs) but never followed through on it.   Some questions...   1) So the bridging...

  Your feedback is much appreciated!

I've reached 140 hours with the Utopia. Amazing experience thus far.   I'm sure this has been discussed within 200+ pages... What are people finding to be a good break-in target?

  I can see the writing on the wall... Even though I own the Signature Series I'll probably buy an LPS-1 too, just because curiosity will get the best of me!

No I did not have the opportunity to compare. I ordered the Signature Series and microRendu together. And partly out of ignorance, because at the time I didn't even know about the JS-2 and that John Swenson had designed it. I did feel strange spending more money on the power supply than the...

I've been extremely happy with the Sonore Signature Series Power Supply driving the microRendu since day one. What grabs my attention just a bit... is the designer of the LPS-1 having also designed the microRendu, and thus the expected synergy. Are there any indications that the LPS-1 was...

Well, let's swing the crazy pendulum in the other direction... Now I want to hear the MSB Select DAC II combined WITH the Orpheus!

Mr. Darko on the Antipodes DX 2nd Generation.   And from the Latest News “Antipodes & Roon”:   “We have fully integrated both Roon Server and RoonReady in Antipodes 2, and Roon can be used in three key ways: use Roon direct to a DAC via USB, S/PDIF, AES3 or TOSLINK; use Roon Server...

I was much more interested in the passage leading up to that line.   “The music started and it seemed I was suddenly sitting directly in front of the guitar. I could hear the strings vibrating to silence after each pluck, could pick up the sounds of finger movements up and down the board. It...

Exciting that the Select II has arrived!   Curious to know what cables you are using for AES and word clock sync? I don't recognize them. And are you going to compare them to a USB connection, or have you already done that?

  Thanks. It is my understanding, based on some close up photographs, that the right-hand rear section is labeled Analog In for balanced XLR and single-ended RCA. I looked closely at those photographs again, and the section labeled Digital In does not have an AES/EBU (XLR) input. It looks like...
