    Audio GD New NOS 7 2016 Edition Impression Thread

    Hay. Im new to this NOS upgrade. I have a quite old Master 7 (DSPv5 upgraded to DSP v7) no Amanero and RJ45 i2s. I want to upgrade the Master 7 to NOS7. I got a Picture from Kingwa with instructions. Is this all you have to do except upgrade the firmware? (i have USB blaster and familiar with...

    Did you change back to original firmware or did you keep the new one?

    Audio-Gd Master 7 - Discrete Fully Balanced DAC (PCM1704)

    On some jumper settings i agree there is som shifting to the left that have almost driven me crazy because i thought it was speaker imbalance (dying diskant). But not with this setting i mentioned over here. The vocal and everything is dead center.  Remember to have a jumper on bypass aswell. ...

      All the jumpers is on except for DITH.    It plays very well with the jumper on DITH too

    Audio-Gd Master 7 - Discrete Fully Balanced DAC (PCM1704)

    Did the "downgrade" to the old version today and its sounds magic again. Warm, relaxed sound with the natural strong vocals and the extremely good reproduction of pianos.   Thanks to Kingwa for great and fast service. Will sleep well tonight :-)

    Audio-Gd Master 7 - Discrete Fully Balanced DAC (PCM1704)

    I do agree at some point that the DAC has improven the timing and more detail in the upper mid, treble. For me the i vould have kept the new software if the vocals and the cymbals was a bit more laid back. Now im getting tired of the sound. The old software did take the breath of me playing...

    Audio-Gd Master 7 - Discrete Fully Balanced DAC (PCM1704)

    Done the upgrade yesterday and it sound terrible bright and sharp. The analog magic sounding is gone with this update. Digital sound and vocal too much forward, the rest of the instruments disappear.      1. disagree, feel that the bass is the same, but tighter.  2. agree 3. agree...

    Audio-Gd Master 7 - Discrete Fully Balanced DAC (PCM1704)

    Just a tip, for everyone struggeling with the settings. I have tried all combinations over a year now and this setup is the best sounding here. If PLL is activated i loose some bass and the sound is getting brighter.

    Audio-Gd Master 7 - Discrete Fully Balanced DAC (PCM1704)

    Hi, if you see on the picture i have a jumper on PLL. Tried to enable Dither but i didnt like the sound, the sound image got a lot smaller, and the sound runs from the sweet spot and forward to the speakers. The dither is making a huge difference here. Also tried stopband -50db, in fact i...

    Audio-Gd Master 7 - Discrete Fully Balanced DAC (PCM1704)

    Ah, that could be a nice setup. You have your passband @ -50db, for me the sojnd image got mabe wider/darker but more fuzzed. Less control. The passband @-90db tighten it, and the sound is getting a bit brighter, and cleaner. I have to try the pll and dithr on this setup, but from the past...

    Read here in this thread in the silence :-) And now I bought an Master 7 with M2Tech Evo I2S adaptor. What a gret upgrade from AudioGD Sa 1.32, The master 7 sounds huge. I am using coax from Cd player to the dac, and found that the bnc input sounds more chill and laid back than the coax rca...

    Review: ZERO 24 BIT/192KHz DAC/Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp

    Quote: I have tested the dac further. The heatsinks is not very hot, no problem to touch every component in the dac while it's in use. The BB627 is also getting a little warm, but no problem to touch it either.     Have checked the underside of the mainboard for solder points, but...

    Okey. Thank you :)   I will check it out. If they are too hot, is it possible that they make/generate pop sounds? Quote:

    Review: ZERO 24 BIT/192KHz DAC/Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp

    Quote: Yes. It seems ok for me too. It sounds like digital noise, the pop sounds..   I see pepole who modify their Zero, they mount bigger heat exchangers on the black 3 legs "things" in the dac :D   Amarok Example:       Should i do it? :)
