Yes of course. But you don't listen to jitter "itself" you listen to the distortion components that jitter is causing. Hence I quoted some random values. So putting numbers in us or ns without context is just a number so one can say: "ha look jitter is lower I told ya" Yes.

Still, do you believe that you can hear the difference when the jitter is -140 or -150db? Jitter really doesn't seem to be a problem with current dacs.

I'm using both XLR and RCA output at the same time. One is going into SS (XLR) amp and second connection is plugged into tube amp (RCA). I never had any issues regarding ground loop - event at full volume both amps are dead quiet. Of course ground loops are very "environment" dependent, so YMMV

Typical, there is always something better.

Freakin amazing.

You don't love him? Don't drag him into this miserable "hobby" :wink:

Any hint about the release date?

It's huge (I mean profit)

Any photos?

Yup, most likely

I told you many times, with Chord stuff don't bother with expensive streamers. Just use decent toslink source and you are done. Unfortunately price and tales fool people...

For month or two ;)

Try different headphones and see how it 'feels'. I don't own Valkyria (just lurking here as it is definitely interesting headphone). I tried this song with IEM that extends down to 20hz with bass shelf. And there is a lot of low bass notes there and also it seems to be out of phase or some other...

You mean the subbas?

🤮

M scaler accepts DC voltage input from 9V up to 15V.

Thanks for your impressions. I'm seriously considering buying them.

But you seem to be fine with that.

I understand you concern. But I'm not sure if there were issues reported with drivers failing over the years. Dynamic drivers seem to be very durable, with planars some companies had problems in the past.

I tried some power supplies with TT2 not worth the effort because of super caps. M scaler is more affected by power supply changes. With TT2 stick with stock one. Don't bother.

Yes

Nope, no problem at all. Is that a brand new unit?

No it means that it's doing it's job of breaking electrical connection between source and HMS. There is no magic here.

Nothing new. Bias (being connected to low price in this instance) in our hobby is nothing new. Money != sound quality.

I'm using black insulating tape on sample rates indicators. And paper tape (so that leds are very dim) on power/source leds so I can see whenever the unit is on or not.
