Selling my Hifiman Arya Stealth. Less than a year old and in excellent shape. Not getting much use over the last few months since some upgrades. I’ll cover shipping to CONUS Wood stand not included

Sold elsewhere

Selling my Ferrum Oor/ Hypos Stack. Both units are in excellent like new condition and sound wonderful. I’ve been spending more time and investing more money in my two channel system, so I’m parting ways with them. Local pickup in NYC in addition to shipping.

Is this an actual limited time sale or is this the new pricing? New versions coming soon?

Recently purchased these from a fellow Head-Fier. They are in excellent condition. Selling so I can try something else. They come with an additional 4.4mm cable as well.

Great Head-Fier! Headphones were just as described and he shipped them out very quickly. Buy with confidence.

Sale Pending Closing for now

I didn’t spend all the much time with the sparkos, upgraded system shortly after receiving. It was also a while ago now. I preferred the the Burson Vivid V6, but I think I’m in the minority with this.

My understanding is v1.42 is the renderer fw update, has no effect on the screen, power button or other system functions. It’s only the LAN renderer. The newest system firmware update is CT m2.1, this changes font size, ect. The only way I know to check if I have the v1.42 installed is when I...

Back up and running! I did have buy a new SD card, the one in the R26 somehow became damaged. Couldn’t be found by BalenaEtcher while in the DAC or in a card reader. Quick flash of v1.42 and everything is good again.

Thanks for your advice. I also contacted Gustard, they suggested more or less the same. Recommending purchasing a new SD card. I went back and found your post from September seems like we have different card holder/slots. Pushing down doesn’t seem to do it. Edit: On my version (newer I...

Now it‘s showing “EXT ERR”. Haven‘t seen that before. Edit: Fixed the EXT ERR, guess I had the external clock turned on. Still no Lan

Yesterday I updated the R26 firmware to CT m2.1 and the renderer to 1.42. Fairly easy process used VMware on my Mac for the firmware and Belencia Etcher in MacOS. All was good, working just fine. A couple of hours latter when I was done listening I left the R26 powered on as I usually do. When...

I’ve only been using HQPlayer for only a few days so there a quite a few more knowledgeable people here. I’ve tried both PCM and DSD and tend to prefer PCM on the R26. As far as what filter and what dither I prefer is still a work in progress. I’ve been mostly using poly-sinc-gauss-long or...

I’ve been using a Topping P50 with good results for the FMC

Sorry they have sold

Thanks Jake! That’s some great setting recommendations for me to play with this evening.

I have a USB C hub which has a Rj45 port amongst other usb and card slots. I think that should do the trick? I was intending to use that to have a wired connection. Do you find much benefit keeping your HQPlayer machine on the clean side. I was contemplating doing another FMC for my NUC...

Definitely agree that there is a lack of info on the Signalyst site, but understandably so. Figured I’d just download it and try to make it work, glad i saw your post on the embedded version. This should keep me busy for a while

I’m just starting to scratch the surface of HQPlayer, planning to start playing around with it this week. I have an old 2017 MacBook Pro that’s on its last legs. If I can getting working on that and like the results I’ll probably pick up a used M1 Mac Mini to dedicate to HQPlayer. Not going in...

It’s a fairly easy set up. Once I had all the parts delivered I had I set up in five minutes. If you have any questions on the shopping list PM me and I can tell what I bought. More or less what has been recommended here.

Great talk, super interesting stuff. Can’t wait for the inclusion of MDAQS scores

Thanks, I’ll order a short run of cat8 and see how it goes. The FMC as is has made a huge difference as is, wish I had been using it with all my previous streamers.

Thanks to everyone on this thread for some great advice. Threads like this one is exactly why I love Head-Fi. I received my R26 I guess about a month ago and have been taking my time getting through this epic thread. Just installed my FMC earlier in the week. On both the dirty end and the...

Great Head-fier! Quick shipping, the fuse was brand new as described. Really went above and beyond with detailed impressions of how the fuse sounds in his system. Thanks!
