Hi Guys, In my previous post I have raised couples of queries as below: 1) Why there is no perceived improvement on the Block 1? is it because the AC in Hong Kong is cleaner? Or my Power Conditioner is efficient although it is cheap stuff? 2) In the Block 2, I have plugged the AC iPurifier in...

Hi Guys, Good day to all. I bought one AC iPurifier yesterday to try it out because I was pleased with the improvement the iFi iPurifier Spdif (bought 2 a year ago) bring to the sound quality. I live in Hong Kong. There is no heavy industry or manufacturing industry. The power supply is...

Hi Guys,   I bought my Hugo one and half year ago. I have asked one of my friend to buy it on Toaboa. I paid 11,200 RMB (about 1,100 GBP) at that time. It was brand new. It is genuine good and works perfectly. Now that the GBP has depreciated, 1,100 GBP is equivalent to 9,450 RMB. That...

Hi Boomtube/Nuttinbutaire,   How do both of you connect to the iPurifier? Coaxial in/Coaxial out? Optical in/Optical out ? Or other combination.   Railrus/Nuttinbutaire, do you guys think that the iPurifier needs a break in time? I am afraid that after 3 weeks of listening, I will get used...

Hi Railrus,   Do I need to constantly use it for 3 weeks in particular through the Coaxial? I just use it constantly regardless through coaxial or optical?   After 3 weeks, the smoothness in the highs is more sonic than without the iPurifier?   Could you describe your equipment?   Thanks...

Just to report my finding with the iPurifier SPDIF.   I bought 2 units to feed my Chord Hugo. One through the Optical and Other one though Coaxial.     The setup of the first iPurifier SPDIF is as follow:   1: Oppo 105D ==> Optical =>  iPurifier SPDIF => Optical ==> Chord Hugo ==> ATC...

Hi Guys,   I bought a iPurifier Spdif two week ago and it really improves the sound quality of my system.   I use an Oppo 105D as a transport/streamer and connect via optical to the iPurifier Spdif and use an optical connection from iPurifier Spdif to the Chord Hugo DAC.   Would the sound...

Thanks Fhishyee for your advise.   Focal Twin6 be is a reference monitor, Wow! Good choice.   Res 24/192 and DSD64 on Synology will depend on the model I think.   Dirac Live needs a computer in the information flow which is out of the equation for me.    1) MiniDSP DDCR-22D looks...

Thanks Fishyee for your thoughts.   The Synology NAS has a proprietary app that can play digital files up to res 24/192 and DSD 64 and output the bits to a DAC. As well, there are third party apps such as Minimserver, and potentially Roon.   My questions is how the Synology NAS reading of...

Hi Fishyee,     Thanks for your suggestion.   Yes, I have tried the connecting the Oppo to Hugo via coax cable and the Cyrus to Hugo via optical cable. I have also play CD on the Oppo.   I have also a third party to listen blindly.   The conclusion is that the Cyrus has more attack...

Dear Fellow members,     I would like to seek your opinion and experience.   My system is composed of Oppo 105d or Cyrus Cdi ==> Chord Hugo ==> Atc Scm40A.   I use the Oppo 105D to read digital files and feed the information to the Chord Hugo through optical connection. I use Cyrus CDi...

Can anybody advise me of a track that res is higher than 16-44 bits and after down-sampling to 16-44 bits looses in sound qualities?   I did down-sample an excerpt of a Classical piece (studio master file) from 32-384 to 16-44 bits and could not detect any musicality difference in the two...

Hi Guys, I'm a newcomer and happy to join the circle of music lovers. I would like to share my experience. Few months ago, I was given by my audio equipments dealer couple of studio master files at 32-384 bits resolution. Since my stereo system, cannot play that high resolution, i down...

Thanks
