You asked about the basic version, that's why I didn't write that much. Me - and two other hifi buddies - were listening to both Superclock and deluxe. Superclock is indeed very good by itself, but in terms of tightness, bass response and high notes, the Deluxe was clearly better. We all have...

Sorry didn't try the basic version, but tried Superclock and Deluxe at the same time. Listening to both of them there are clearly differences, but i'll let people decide for themselves...money counts for some but not for all

Tried with lhy ock-2. No succes here in my setup. Sound became less transparent and unfortunately too laid back

Thanks a lot Jake, the music tasts good...cheers😂

Great Jake👍 Happy owner here too playing with Cen.Grand dac

See you there😊. We've got the Puritan both of us too😂

Had both. Preferred the CG because it was clearly more transparent and lively

People often have different opinions and preferences which are best...

Speaking of inputs....is the deluxe equipped with true balanced to amp ?

Please explain to me if i'm wrong, but does it improve sound quality in any way, to connect an external clock to LHY UIP, when the Deluxe dac has clock blocking?

Connection between Lumin streamer --> LHY UIP (+LHY OCK2) --> Deluxe, any suggestions on 50 or 75ohm, sine- or square wave from OCK2 to UIP ?

Using the Cen.Grand Deluxe with a Lumin streamer. Have a LHY ock-2 external clock too and arriving in a few days the LHY UIP. Very exited if sound quality will be even better..

Connected how.....devices??? :relaxed:

Better and better, agree. Feeling like it so good, one has to look elsewhere to get improvements..

December or later CG wrote to me..

December or later they told me..

Agree.....and lets blast together 😂🎶🎹🎸 Vincent i'm also using usb with great results..

Already do 🏆👍🎶

Have now been comparing the Cen.Grand Superclock and Deluxe versions. Prior to that they both have been powered on for 8-10 days 24/7. Started out with the SC. Played some very well known tracks. What first struck me was the clarity and openess. Soundstage was huge and great detailling. I found...

Lucus < Hardware does.....received the Deluxe yesterday

The Deluxe needs burning in some more days before comparing with the Superclock. I will keep you updated, but I already know ONE of them are going to stay here :L3000:. So pleased indeed

Waking up this subject again I've been trying out lots of streaming options in the last couple of years. To mention some it would be AbbasAudio dac4.1SE, Ontech dac8, Pontus II, Gustard A26, Gustard R26 and Cocktail Audio X45pro. Most playing was done with Roon. Trawled through the internet...

Camrector thanks for the reply :relaxed:. yes using the right input(s) . Sorry dont remember the transport brand name, but it was a very good but old one. Are you saying Nos and DSD Direct must be set to "off" ?

Houston we have a problem :smile: A friend of mine is trying to connect his transport-cd via coax or optical to the R26 coax input and run volume on the R26. No sound coming what so ever. Do we have to adjust anything in the R26 settings, or what can be the problem ?
