CX, EX, K, S, Oladra, Antipodes, Owners Unite

I think mine took about that long. Customs was the bottleneck in my case

Thanks Kenny. That is reassuring.

My DX got put on hold in Cincinnati? it Was moving to fast I guess

Those prices quoted on Antipodes web site are before tariffs and taxes, so I would not be surprised if street prices in the US will be close to $21k. Certainly the Uk price is very likely to be the same number but in pounds so the pair will cost £16.5k which is about $22k.

I have no interest in upgrading my CX/EX unless my Euromillions numbers come up. It becomes a very expensive exercise chasing the absolute cutting edge, especially when this changes every 12 months. I am already very happy with the sound I have.

Indeed and no regret having oladra upgrade for my ex/cx stack especially now with etherregen and cheap chinese oxco clock between them as well as blue leds finally !

Earlier retirement than planned at 59 yrs old and pursue of other new cheaper interest/mods of Titanium bikes (healthier and lost 10 kg in last 10 mths with lower cholesterol, sugar level and bp) certainly help the decision making of more $ into hifi marathon henceforth

Retired at 42 myself, now 59. No bikes but on full regiment of medication, levels are great tho.

Cool ... do consider biking especially Titanium ones .. can mod to wireless shifting, wireless dropper post etc.

Fresh air, touring to forgotten places missed when driving, work your heart and limbs to stay nimble and not seated on couch for hifi and work on ears and fingers for hifi forums only ... especially for ageing retirees like us

It might point to me being slightly superficial but I decided to make a couple of system changes to ensure my equipment is the now all the same colour. As a result I will be listing my own personal immaculate black K50 (new June 2021) for sale. It is replaced by a silver K50!. If anyone in the UK is interested they can pick up a bargain at under £9k including next day courier delivery . . . .

Color coordination is important. I’m all black, down to cables. Little hit of Hawaiian koa on my th900 and silver on hd800S.

Anyone know if you can adjust the settings in Squeeze so as when a song is playing it shows the sample rate?

 

[Whazzzup]

I used squeeze once, didn’t find any Way to view or adjust sample rate or speed. Switched back to roon so I could see and adjust dsp. But I didn’t know what I was doing. Mark likes squeeze I guess cause he set It up by remote any desk. when I get my DX back I’ll try more options

Are you using Material for track seletion and playing? The listing of the tracks in the album shows the sample rate for each track (on left of my attached screenshot). The sample rate for the actual track playing is shown bottom right.

See above for viewing the sample rates. There should not be any need to adjust the sample rate unless perhaps if using HQP but that is a different ballgame. The whole point is that you send the audio file ‘as is’ either to an mscaler or dac.

Mark is not the only one who prefers Squeeze / Squeezelite. Indeed I was speaking to my Antipodes dealer in the UK yesterday and they also confirmed it is their favourite for sound quality and much preferred compared to Roon. It is certainly my favourite.

I was hoping this information would show on the android orange squeeze app when playing music is this not possible?

Sorry, I have no experience of Android apps. Are you using a phone or a tablet? With either could you use a browser and access Material on that?

 

[naynay]

I will try access by browser.

No not superficial at all! I really want to do this but unfortunately I can't presently justify the cost.

Any chance you will post a photo once the silver K50 is in place?

Of course!
