You don’t need a premium server. Just turn any PC into a DLNA server and get a steamer that supports dlna.

Been there done that, and nope it’s not. Look do whatever, the answer is in the source.

High end severs stream as well. Until you try you won’t know. Even compressed lossless can sound great never mind hi res. streaming is better even. just food for thought from someone whos tried. I use usb, my sig states what I use.
but yes garbage in garbage out is a fact

Thank you. For right now it is not really the direction I'm going. I'll keep it in mind. I'm using roon which I'm not entirely thrilled with. My whole setup for hi-fi is desktop so that is what it is going to be. I might start accumulating more hi-res content and then I'll see.

So how long is typical burn-in? Not that it really matter, I just leave it running, just curious.

Between 1 and 1M seconds or when you get used to the sound.

GS-X Mini Satin Black ordered.

My Equinox cable XLR for HD650 is 2 x 3 pins. I guess the best thing to do is CUT the cable and put a xlr 4 pins ?

Any advice how manage the 2 wires ... twist them together or let them parallel while each side contains 2 brand twisted ?

Get an adapter.

Yes cut/unsolder the dual 3pin and get a 4pin.
A picture of your cable will help, but I will probably twist the two wire, because when you roll up your cable for storage etc a twisted one usually works better.

Hello GS-X mini owners. So I've read through like 80% of this thread and still a bit confused as to the Mini's capabilities with the Susvara. I think initially there were a lot of positive comments about the Mini being able to drive the Susvara well but as time passed there are some negative comments, especially with a certain reviewer calling it "soft". I would like to get any current opinions from people who own the Susvara with Mini or have auditioned it extensively. Thanks in advance

Not to raise the dead--but I'm amp shopping for the Susvara and would love to hear from anyone currently using and preferring a GSX-Mini pairing as I have enjoyed HeadAmp gear in the past.

How does equipment age?

Replace electrolytic caps every half a century and you should be fine

Had my gsx mk2 for 6-7 years maybe more a-ok, little dust in the volume wheel created a little static when adjusting volume. Remedy to clean it is beyound my pay grade so… while a common diy is never that for me so why try, not a big deal anyway. concerning susvara it’s med gain 2 o’clock full saturation via mk2, suppose it’s the same on mini, so yes plenty of power.

Even dough I love my mini it can't drive my susvaras I had to get a volot to drive them adequately

Mini less watts than mk2?
