It's a long way from the real Tube.Any experience here on "Tube" sound mode on the Master 9 models?

my guess, a bit softer or rounded overall?It's a long way from the real Tube.
The Master softens the upper mids a little, but this is perceived as a dirtier sound, unlike a tube amp.my guess, a bit softer or rounded overall?
A DAC needs DI-24HE... just guessing.The Master softens the upper mids a little, but this is perceived as a dirtier sound, unlike a tube amp.
The Master truly shines, but not with digital sources.

I think this is useless, since Kingwa talked about the slight difference between the built-in converter in the R7HE MK2 and the external one.A DAC needs DI-24HE... just guessing.
Well something isn't right then because a good digital source shines.I think this is useless, since Kingwa talked about the slight difference between the built-in converter in the R7HE MK2 and the external one.
I added DI24HE to my number 2 system with R7HEmk3 and bedroom system with R27HE with big improvement over DI20HEs on both systems. On my system 2 I am running an Afterdark Emperor double crown clock through the DI24HE which sends the external clock signal to Sotm SNH10G and R7HEmk3. Difference is big I couldnt go back.I think this is useless, since Kingwa talked about the slight difference between the built-in converter in the R7HE MK2 and the external one.
I see you have mac mini as source. Please try the Teradak PSU solution and revisit your impression about DI20/24HE.I think this is useless, since Kingwa talked about the slight difference between the built-in converter in the R7HE MK2 and the external one.
Thanks, but I already bought exactly the same second deck and transferred my digital collection to cassettes.Please try the Teradak PSU solution and revisit your impression about DI20/24HE.
AwesomeThanks, but I already bought exactly the same second deck and transferred my digital collection to cassettes.
R7HE MK2 will go on sale soon.
Does a Macbook have the same result?Awesome
It is not to be found anymore on Kam Audio.
Trust me this will be the best upgrade in your system. Then add the DI
On a dirty source the Gustard U18 actually performs better than DI20HE. That is why I am saying DI20/24HE will outperform the U18 on clean source. 20HE DOES!

Further more - get some ACSS cables and try this
I have not heard about the positive results of converting the M1 to linear power.Does a Macbook have the same result?
Yip. There are number of internal SMPS regulators, it makes little difference. But Macbooks have very noisy USB with PD and Thunderbolt features. It can be reduced by self-powered USB 2.0 (not 3.x) hub. If DAC is the only device attached to a hub, it can be the cheapest one.I have not heard about the positive results of converting the M1 to linear power.
