Incredible Live Vocal

Isn't everything in audio? There will be people who prefer OG vs second gen vs 12th, etc, etc. One man's "processed sound" is another's "resolute, detailed," and someone's "rich midrange" is another's "colored."

This goes away with a decent battery power supply for Qutest.

Which Eversolo do you have? I was quite impressed by how Eversolo A6 ME was improved by upgrading the power supply to Beatechnik LHY linear PS. Try listening with some decent audio chain to this well-recorded video:

Amazon just does not care. Tragically, this is unlikely to change since 99.9% of Amazon Music listeners don't even know what we are talking about here...

Easily my favorite Le Sserafim song. Kind of reminds me of XG vibe..:dt880smile:

So if you don't like Apple and Wiim, you are SOL .. I was recently excited when I connected Amazon Firestick 4K->HDMI to spdif extractor and Firestick Amazon music app displayed it was automatically switching and playing different bit/sample rate. But when I connected a DAC with reliable...

It's not the "C" that makes the difference. It's the grey glass 6SN7 vs the black glass above. National Union Grey Glass 6SN7 is one of my all-time favorite 6SN7's, which I would take over Tung Sol roundplate, Sylvania bad boys. The black glass is a bit more neutral than grey but not as...

Tung-Sol roundplate 6SN7 and Soviet 6H8C/1578 crowd should be here soon..

Ahhh, I just love that Raal SR1 does not touch my face/ears, which is why it gets much more use than Abyss 1266 TC. Three ribbons...but touches face.

Wonyoung looks especially bright in this vid :)

Ahh, KPSR seems more available in EU, although can ship to U.S. with a shipping charge. Even then, quite a bit cheaper than Audionote Silver caps, or even Duelund silver.

Where did you find Miflex silver capacitors? I don't see them listed anywhere. Also, 47 nF=0.047 uF, which would seem too small for things like coupling duties, so the 220 nF=0.22uF would be something I'd be interested in!

Daang..Korean audition programs are a tough place to survive!

That's why Qutest synergizes so great with my compression driver/horn speakers and headphones like Raal SR1 :gs1000smile:

Still no bit-perfect output.

To quote myself: Unfortunately, this battery supply was something that came with some other non-audio product very long ago, and I have no idea where I would even buy one currently as there are no labels.

If I hadn't found this one, I would have stuck with my modified Allo Shanti linear PS. I know that youtube channel "Passion for Sound" uses and recommends "Batpower" battery supply. I may have to try that one in the future, but IME, I have not gotten along with battery supplies that have...

Chord Qutest vs Gustard X26 Pro DAC. I finally gathered my thoughts together on this comparison, partially motivated by finding a 5V Lithium battery supply for Qutest that sounds better than other 5V battery supplies I have tried in past. Unfortunately, this battery supply was something that...

"Equipped with KORG Nutube, a new generation direct heating twin triode tube." I have the Pass Korg Nutube B1 preamp, which has the same Korg Nutube that is in the Korg Nu1. I'm not sure that I would want that Nutube in my source gear. I use the Nutube preamp to introduce some 2nd harmonics...

The lower gain on Jot-A may require other system adjustments for SR1. I do have two Jot-R's for my ultimate plan of Jot-R super-duper monoblocks for Raal, but I do need to come up with another matching Wywires Platinum headphone cable...

I am stunned how small Eksonic Aeras looks compared to 717 :thumbsup:
