Have you found anything? I've recently relocated there too :slight_smile:

Yes

Have you tried to use a different power cable? I have a copper washer and hear no difference. I’m sure there will be the same with a silver one. But with Fujikura CV 600 + Monosaudio F104/E104 there are very nice improvements.

Don't waste your money. A good and even cheaper streamer would bring you a much better experience via Coax.

I highly recommend AQ Carbon.

I asked the company itself before and they told me there is no difference between stand-by and ON modes in terms of burning-in.

No. Volumio on Raspberry Pi and Macbook only.

Yes I know that. But even then there is a difference.

Just curious why so many people on youtube and forums suggest using a slow OS mode while non-OS sounds way better?

Comparisons here do not make any sense. Pontus II is way better than the Ares II in every aspect. While Musician Pegasus is another next-level device compared to the Ares II, Pontus II is the best of these three.

Meanwhile, my new EQ settings are showing much better results. All the dulling is gone. Bass became stronger and more focused. Anyway, I need to dive deeper. I found some bass compressors. Looks like I have to investigate how to implement the same effect with an EQ.

You need two only. Argons are an amazing option for that.

I had both of them. The Cascades are a monster bass canon. A very V-shaped signature. Unbeatable bass. Argon MK3 is a bass canon too. But compared to the Cascades, Arogons have much more controlled bass. Sometimes I used EQ with Argons to boost the bass and highs a bit. Also, Argons would be a...

Flux FA-12. I had the luck to compare this amp with Audio-GD and Violectric V220. Flux is on a higher level. Audio-GD and Violectric are not competitors at all.

Aren't they too expensive? Doge 7 Tube would be a good competitor.

With a proper PSU/Linear PSU they are dead silent. Haven't heard a beep.

Just avoid stuff like this. To save money, it would be WAAAAAAY better to buy Pi2AES or at least DigiOne. It would also save a lot of your nerve cells :relieved:
