    iFi audio LAN iSilencer - Your network. Silenced.

    An update, I let the lan isilencer to eventually burn in since the day I received, today connected again to see if something changed, after all this time in the lan I do not think it changed. So my comments are still valid, loses definition on textures and transients. Everything is a little...

    iFi audio LAN iSilencer - Your network. Silenced.

    You are welcome, not always this type of solutions work, for example I could give one not ifi related, the Niagara 3000 on some of my systems is too much neutral and revealing the bad of the system more, on those systems the Niagara 1200 works very good. Two products of the same brand that could...

    iFi audio LAN iSilencer - Your network. Silenced.

    I think the iSilencer is system, gear and user dependent. Saying it doesn’t work for me is not saying it will not work for others. Ifi makes great affordable products and Dacs that I love, I think their quality is honest, what it does not work for one person is not a prove that the product is...

    iFi audio LAN iSilencer - Your network. Silenced.

    One situation it could be interesting is on my desk speakers when connected to the Niagara 1200, the Niagara 1200 sometimes can be a little too much on the highs on this twitters of the focal Solo 6be with lesser recordings, the added little softness with the lan iSilencer could be good for...

    iFi audio LAN iSilencer - Your network. Silenced.

    One thing I did not take into account is that most things need burn in even small things like this, and my experience was an out of the box one. I have a few more systems and the results could be very different on other systems. I will connect them on for a week on the network and let them burn...

    iFi audio LAN iSilencer - Your network. Silenced.

    A little update, in my main system the iSilencer causes losses in resolution and impact on the sounds, textures loose resolution, a little veil is present, the clarity of small sounds is lost and feels softer, a very small veil is present on complex tracks. For very aggressive systems it could...

    iFi audio LAN iSilencer - Your network. Silenced.

    I tried in a normal cable, one that comes from one NAS on the other side of the house, in this case the sense of depth is better perceived and a little very little more sharpness in sounds, but also the sound is a little wide, the isilencer has his virtues, and does something. The focal sopra...

    iFi audio LAN iSilencer - Your network. Silenced.

    Received my order today, and played with it a little. As I suspected, it gives some and takes some, on expensive cables and gear is not something to use, on lesser gear could result. It is an interesting device but not for me, but now I have 3 of them to play around on other devices from my...

    iFi audio LAN iSilencer - Your network. Silenced.

    I look at tweaks with a grain of salt, some work, and some don't, most of the time putting something between the cable and the final connector degrades the sound, the Best connection if possible is allways the simpler and shorter one, less variables, less problems better sound and detail. What...

    iFi audio LAN iSilencer - Your network. Silenced.

    How do you measure the sound that comes out of your speakers when you change a cable or a component. You are free to choose your sound by specs, I choose from the result that comes out of my speakers, if it works stay, if not, comes out. I respect you need measurements, In my case they are not...

    iFi audio LAN iSilencer - Your network. Silenced.

    Not trying to start a complicated discussion, but changing the power supply of the switch, changing the switch, changing power cable or even the network cable changes the sound of my system, and not everything is giving an upgrade sometimes. I notice this changes on my system easily, what I...

    iFi audio LAN iSilencer - Your network. Silenced.

    I just ordered a ifi Lan iSilencer, one thing I have sure, is that will change the sound, every accessory is a win loss relation, ordered 3 of these to experiment on the switches and streamers, if they give something without degrading other music information I will be more than happy. If they...

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    The ipower elite is great. Also try the sbooster, they are about the same price and sound very different, depending on your setup you could like one over the other better.

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    Forget the IFi power cables, I have the supernova and is not great lack’s realism, transparency and bass is strong but without control, for the 500 euros the supernova is selling, look at other brand for the zen, because there are better sounding power cables for less. But as any other audio...

    New Focal Utopia for 2022: impressions

    In my country the listed expected price is 4999 euros, is the change of the coil a justification for an 1000 euros more in price. I still think the old Utopia are a more visual appealing on the design of some elements. The carbon fiber is better looking and the chrome is a beautiful touch. The...

    Actually I have one of those 6000 thousand Naim Player‘s the NDX 2, and also have the zen stream with an ipower elite and connected with audioquest Diamond network and usb. Strangely the Naim sounds better and is a lot Better, even with the Zen stream connected with cables that excede a lot is...

    Yesterday received a raspberry py 400 as a gift, installed roopie and volumio on it, and easily sends dsd512 to pro idsd, also had no problems to send dsd256 to a Denon amp dac, what I can not understand is why the zen stream can’t do more than dsd128 on the Denon, also tested volumio with the...

    xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend

    I use it mostly with the focal utopia, also have the pro idsd and the Uniti Atom HE, strangely from the three the one I use most is the gryphon. The atom is musical and has a great presentation, but a lot o information on the mix is lost in the highs, and I miss the detail of the IFi products...

    xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend

    I am living with the gryphon for 8 months now, and in all IFi products I have this one is the most satisfying IFi product I have had from the brand, regarding looks, sound options, great sound and experience of using it. Also love my pro iDSD, but this one is my favorite. It was love at first...

    xDSD Gryphon: birth of a ‘head-fi’ legend

    In the latest firmware was the volume scale changed? I notice since I installed the latest firmware I have to go a little more on the volume with the Focal Utopia than before to get the same volume I was used to, at least when looking at the screen number on the gryphon.
