i did this last wekend on my spring, easy.. the fuse itself is on the fusebox next to the power cable connector. got an aftermarket fuse to adjust (2A for 220v, 4A for 110v, 20mm slow blow) and it performs very well. opening the may PS should be even easier as (I assume) you dont need to mind...

yes, no issues doing it all the time..

Curious to hear your impressions after longer listening. Im using the Phoenix Net and in my system it was also very marginal, also almost got an used phoenix USB a couple of times but in the end it never happened and it is impossible to audition one locally. BTW, does anyone know current msrp...

thanks for the explanation. But then, products like innuos phoenix USB or from SotM USB ultra are rip-offs basically? More importantly and on topic, have you tried the intona with DAC200 specifically, and if so could your hear/measure any differences? Im streaming from sotm or rendu to dac200 or...

nice Tony.. what do you mean by " HQP DSD1024 and Roon DSD512" ? if 1024 is set on hqp, it will be the same when you play via Roon, what am I missing?

very nice to read a non positive opinion for a change Im using the Innuos Phoenix Net for a week and havent notice an immediate change in my system. Note I dont have very picky ears, it is rare that a notice a single component being changed, even though it is very resolving. Yesterday I put an...

nice! would be even nicer if it came with their muon pro integrated, in one box. but what do I know about the feasibility of such implementation

Was also curious on this, but (sadly) interesting to hear the denafrips ddc doenst have a usb output

Hey @Roasty what are thinking of the pulsar + Phoenix usb? At another forum someone said that the double reclocking made a mess with the music, and he preferred the regular (non phoenix light) usb out of the pulsar into his Phoenix…

I tried wireless briefly yesterday and reinstalles roon one more time and it still didnt work, but I admit I suspect on something on my windows/network settings. This was Jussi's response at the Roon forum: Does anything appear in HQPlayer log file about Roon connection / playback attempts? If...

oh and raatserver is also checked! Yes I dont know why HQP 5 came unchecked... but anyway I just installed yesterday evening to try, it wasnt even installed since Saturday. but much thanks for taking the time to try to help.

also a valid point.. tks! I know it's another language but I guess the names of the apps and both boxes checked speak for themselves. On top of that, I just briefly tested deactiviting all my firewalls (domain, private, public) and restarted roon and it still could not connect to HQP

tks, they were valid suggestions I hadnt tried. I now tried wireless on the PC with Roon/hqp (didnt solve) and taking the innuos off the system (didnt solve).. Im more hesitant to try the second PC. I do have a second system with both roon/hqp (I only use one at a time of course, so both...

nice thread, subscribed! unfortunetly, Im having issues in the last couple of days using Roon + HQP. Already explained this at the Roon forum, so will just repeat below, if anyone can help plse! Windows 11, 13900K 32gbRAM Networking Gear & Setup Details No wifi, all wired. Modem to Router to...

Thank you Roasty for the support in this transaction where I ended up buying he product listed and much more at a good price; communication was always perfect, the items are as described of course! much recommended seller as everyone knows by now!

Sorry this was sold long ago!

that's so cool! maybe one day I can try with my Spring3 with pre module, hould be even louder If you dont mind sharing, whats's the reference on what you said on the Select II?

no, and I guess I guess I wont, since I intend to keep using HQPlayer to upsample and take advantage of DAC200capabilities (Im mostly using 256x with better modulators though Ive used 1024x in the past when I had optical rendu). Unless Im missing something I will always need a PC or a server...

I recently tried my DAC200 with an audio server instead of my usual setup (conventional PC + streamer, be it a sonore Rendu or the SotM 200 ultra neo + Uptone JS2 with upgrade fuse) and was quite impressed with the result. I always had this curiosity but actually didnt expect much difference...

congrats @newToAudio100 I have tested dac200 rca and xlr output at the same time to two different amps a few times and it works fine as expected, nothing changed on the first output (RCA with speaker setup) when I turned on the second amp (XLR to the HP amp).

I had/have the X9k and SR1a, but with carbon and HSA1b, so two "comparable" (at least pricewise) SS amps. I can honestly say I love both but they are obviously quite different presentations, only thing in common is the absolute resolution. I will soon be able to hear the SR1a with a pair of tube...

I tried. I didnt like the built-in amp, but that was to be expected since I was used to driving the hd80 with an CFA3, an Elekit 8900, or a Raal HSA1b, so 8 to 20+ watts But maybe it was underwhelming even compared to the 500mw Meier Corda Symphony, the first dac/amp I used with my first HD800...

I also never used the preamp section of the 200, but I dont have a headphone to plug anymore for many months, but AFAIR nothing happens when you plug the phone, you have to also press the "phone" button, then yes, the voulme control will apply regardless of the fact you are using line out and...

well, it was in show conditions, but there were some 3 roons with wadax gear in Munich this May, and 4 or more with msb (most used the reference) and I didnt fell for any of the rooms with the Wadax. actually a couple of these roons sounded simply bad to me. sure, there were pront (excuses?)...
