Where did you find this? Need more info dude.

Hi find it hard to believe no-one is building high-end amps these days... What are you building?

Tough crowd!

Ok it's released, time for a dedicated thread. Happy new Tool album day! This is the best new music I've heard in a long time, really something special. You owe it to yourself to have a listen.

I ordered a few PCBs a while back and I'm thinking of making a start. I understand this is a modern version of the Dynahi - has anyone built one or heard one? Interested in any thoughts you may have on this design. Also, on a slightly different subject, what's the go-to design around here for a...

FLAC. Could you tell me a track and time where you're hearing crackling? I've noticed a tiny amount of tape hiss in some parts but it's certainly not intrusive. Btw I've checked the files and the definitely weren't transcoded from a lossy source.

I'd be very surprised if it wasn't made available in 24/96 given that all the others have been made available recently. I look forward to it!

Interesting. Personally I think the album sounds sensational.

Anyone had luck using a VPN to purchase outside the US?

Thanks. I've got an ipod classic to play my own stuff, wanted to use tidal from the PC.

Has anyone had any luck getting this running properly on Windows without a driver? Would love to use it on my work computer but I don't have the access required to install drivers. Was hoping it'd be USB class compliant but it doesn't look like it is.

Thread needs Buckethead :)

Another question, has anyone figured out how to reduce the latency for music production purposes? The latency is horrible with the factory driver and unstable when using ASIO4ALL.

Thanks!

Does the balanced output offer more power than the single ended output? The single ended output doesn't drive my HD650 properly. Wondering whether it's worth getting a balanced cable. Also is there such thing as an optical SPDIF to USB converter? Thanks

All I can say is this thing sounds bloody amazing. Highly recommended.

Anyone know what I need to get this working with an iPad mini 4?   I've tried the stock iPad USB cable but it won't receive audio. Do I need a camera connection kit?

Pleased to report the iPod Classic works fine, and has never sounded so good :)

Hi guys. Just purchased one of these from Bic Camera Shinjuku this evening, giving it a run now with my MDR-1RBT. First impressions are very promising! Will test it with the ipod classic shortly. Also picked up the XBA-N3.

  Source?   I think you're mistaken.

Am I correct in saying that the Tidal desktop app handles MQA decoding, so no extra hardware or software is required?

  Cheap!   Walk in price duty free at the Ginza Sony Store is about $471USD.

Also I noticed that the iPod Classic is not supported, at least according to the released documentation. This is a bit of a bummer, however I'm hoping compatibility wasn't mentioned simply because the classic is "obsolete", not because it won't work.   Anyhow I'll try it with the classic and...
