@Strayngs The Rockna is on order. I just updated my sig in advance. I can answer (i hope) in about 2 weeks.
That said, i'll have the i2s and USB cards from Pain Faun (and upgraded clocks then too.) I'm super everything will be different .. even on the rockna. you know.. cause.. you change one minor things and that changes everything is a massive way!
haha.. no it doesn't
Minor changes should have minor impacts (hopefully good ones)
But good point. I wasn't planning to play around with the Pink Faun cards will the Wavedream comes in.. but i should plan on doing that. Maybe the Pink Faun with OCXO will make Yggy stunning different... or likely not
- but i should test.
I'm oddly going to start my Rockna test on my FS speaker setup. The NAD Master M28 is very transparent.. and the PL, which can also be RE: stock tubes, but not how it have it now.
I am expecting great things from the wavedream + PrimaLuna + Utopia!!!!! (shame the integrated PL didn't have XLR input and XLR HP output ... ugh.. maybe i don't want to think about that because if they ever did do release that i'd have to buy it... have toooooo!.)
I'm looking forward to you getting KT170s in your PL 300. I wonder if that would have any impact on the HP amp part? There should be no diff between the 400 and 300 when on headphones as power is limited (vs feeding speakers.)
But i'll be jelly anyway because KT170 will look cool. (.. and i got the Rockna after seeing your combo.. )
TEMPTRESS!
Question, on the Rockna. Which clock are you using? Rockna (local) or on the Lumin (streaming)? I can't find any info on quality of the Rockna clock vs something else (in my case the Pink Faun OCXO.)
What is "better" normally is what sound familiar not what is truer to the source. I'd love to know truer first.. then I want to tweak to.. then tweak it (or change.)
