Denafrips 'Pontus' R2R ladder DAC - close up view
I can report back after 3 tests: TP-Link USB Hub 3.0 powered : A catastrophe, the first time I heard noise/static, and it wasn't subtle at all. Weird because I had a small Aukey USB hub 3.0 non-powered, and I never had noise. Startech USB Hub 2.0 powered : I have to either plug in or unplug the...- Aendir

What do you mean by sound quality? Is 2.0 better for it? Or should I use something else? Sorry for the beginner's question :) @ejk1 : Hey, thank you. I'll keep you posted. I should receive the USB tomorrow.- Aendir

Denafrips 'Pontus' R2R ladder DAC - close up view
Do you mean, "Do I have a USB 2.0 or 3.0 cable?" One of the test cables I tried was this USB 2.0 one: https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/gp/product/B086ZG4VZG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 USB Firmware : V3.14.0 DAC Firmware: v1.4 (P22F1.4)- Aendir

I never power off the Denafrips (only the Pontus 2, or both with the Iris), but I do with my iMac automatically every night. P.S : I had the same problem with the Iris II- Aendir

The (Un)Official Amp Thread For ZMF Headphones
What are the advantages of the Arce compared to the Iris, knowing that I don't think I need a steamer (I just use my headphones when I'm in front of my iMac)?- Aendir

Denafrips 'Pontus' R2R ladder DAC - close up view
Hello guys, I'm losing the connection from my Pontus 2 when I'm rebooting my iMac, and I have to power it off and on again to make it work. Has anybody had the same problem as me and found a solution? I've bought an Iris, and it's the same problem. I've upgraded the USB and DAC firmware to...- Aendir

ZMF x JDS Labs Homage Amp
Hello guys, I'm new to the hobby and I have a few questions about the Homage: Is it typical to have to switch the left and right cables to achieve the correct sound in my headphones? With a ZMF Vérité Closed, should I use gain if my volume is far from enough with 1.0? Should I use the low or...- Aendir

The (Un)Official Amp Thread For ZMF Headphones
It's really recent as I received it yesterday, and I'm still very green in the hobby. However, I can understand the comment about the Homage being holographic, 3D, with a bigger soundstage, and better bass. However, the upgrade is not (to my inexperienced ears) quite as significant as I...- Aendir

The (Un)Official Amp Thread For ZMF Headphones
Thank you for the quick answers, it's really appreciated! This was my first post, quite a journey from going from a Sennheiser GAME ZERO a few months ago to a Motu M2 with a Beyerdynamic DT 797 PV. I was flabbergasted to discover anew all my favourite songs, hearing details I could never catch...- Aendir

The (Un)Official Amp Thread For ZMF Headphones
Hello, I have a ZMF Verité closed, a Denafrips Ares II, and a Beyerdynamic A20. I'll try this with a Bottlehead crack + speedball + mods to this if I like the sound of the tube. What would be my endgame upgrade from the A20 if I want the best warm & lush sound of a tube but on an SS? The...- Aendir
