That would be an interesting – and in my case cheaper – option as I just bought an HDPlex 100W linear PSU to power my music server. And this PSU has three extra connections, so I could also power the Regen from it... To make a long story short: I ordered one and will be patient until mid...

thanks wisnon! I will sure give foobar and hqplayer a try to compare them with jriver when up-converting to DSD... And thanks for pointing out that I2S will not work with the Lampizator's chipless design :-| Maybe it will be better to upgrade the source with a SOTM-like PCI USB card? I think...

Although I have had a Lampizator DAC for almost two years, this is my first post here...   Depending on my mood I switch between two DAC's, an Audio Aéro Prestige and the Lampizator 4. I upgraded them with Rike capacitors, which was a considerable improvement for both players. When using the...

I have now been burning in the AP2+PP for 4 days. The special qualities of the AP2+PP were immediately apparent. Depth, detail. There was a wow there. However: from the start, and until recently, I was bothered by some graininess in the middle-high frequencies. I tried to enable 'bit 28' on the...

... further listening done:   (1) Doge 6210 tube headphone amp => HE-6 (2) Cayin At-88 tube speaker amp => Taket TR2 => HE-6   Sound impressions (1) Holistic warm sound, no shrillness whatsoever, but lacking detail; mediocre soundstage: there is a gap in the middle and voices and...

Thanks HC!   I also asked Takei san who designed the Taket. Just now he sent me his response:   Thank you very much for patronizing H2. Hifiman HE-6's impedance is 50ohms and impedance of TR2(input) is 8-12ohms. It is almost same you continue to use H2 withTR2 by your tube amp. So...

I received my HE-6 yesterday and of course it still has some serious burning in to go...   My first amp to try was a modded Doge 6210 tube headphone amp and that seems to work well in terms of volume and sound.   Reading the above posts, I was interested how the HE-6 would sound out of...

Brand--Kingston SDHC Speed Class-- 4 Size-- 32GB Compatible-- No (at least mine) Firmware Version/Date-- 0.19 / 2010-05-24 Comments-- strange behaviour: 20% of tracks can not be played; some tracks stop (at same point); I have reformatted twice (using special SD formatting software) but the...

I used the 16 ohm taps as this is the impedance given in the Taket ´manual´. Quote: Originally Posted by Afrikane Many thanks for your impressions; made all the more valuable as I share your love of classical and jazz music. Which impedance taps did you choose to hookup the TR2 to...

I bought the Taket from Takei san via a Japanese friend of mine who also lives in The Netherlands. The set arrived about two weeks ago, so it is about time I post some impressions. For some context: I have owned a Sony CD3000 since 2001 which where my main headphones, driven by a Creek...

Maybe this is a somewhat naive question -- if so forgive me. But if inmates here speak of ´speaker amplifier´ I assume they just mean a ´normal´ amp, other than a headphone amp? I am considering to buy a H2 + TR2 so want to find out whether it would work with my tube amp Cayin A88-T which has...
