While i am at it, excellent PRAT on Sonny Rollins Saxophone Colossus. Very involving.
I had to read that twice So you listened with all jumpers OFF: PLLEN Inactiv!Have not tried with pll off off yet
Sorry. I really meant PLL off. This text editor is playing tricks on me. Default settings.I had to read that twice So you listened with all jumpers OFF: PLLEN Inactiv!
This morning, same story. I can hear what seems to be backgroud studio noise in Joshua Redman Trios Live i had never heard before. Clearly defined reverberation as well. Just superb.
I will call it like i hear it: the r2r 7 is an all-star player. Given the asking price, It's a steal.
I did not. I have no dsd file or converter. I am not into dsd at all.Hi Fred, have you tried playing DSD material through the R2R 7? How does it compare to software player based DSD to PCM conversion? I am considering buying either the M7S or R2R7 and the native DSD support of the R2R7 is a feature which the M7S does not have.
oooooPlaying Wynton Marsalis Unforgivable Blackness, one of greatest jazz album ever, i am delighted. Such dynamics, accurates tones and slam. Clear reverberation can be heard. Really a big upgrade to the M7 playing this album. As good the M7 was, the r2r 7 is clearly better. It's so liquid.
There is still burning to do. According to Kingwa, it need over 150 hours more. I have done 100 so far, and it's getting better.ooooo
that sounds great

Strange... considering that Master-7 is sent burn in for 300 hr. Just checked the page and indeed, it doesn't say anything about burn in.
I think he meant 150 hours more than the pre burned in 300 hours that Audio GD do for all Master amps and DACs.
They might have not done all the burning. In the first 24 hours, it changed a lot. For instance, after 12 hours, it was BAD.
I listened to it at noon during my lunch break, and the soundstage was simply phenomenal. There was a level of precision in depth, left-right and up-down positioning that was way better than before.
I alway leave it on, although cooling/heating cycle can help the burning. The thing with audio-gd's big dacs is they sound "funny" for a couple of hour after being turned on. So i leave it always on.Wow! I thought that at 300hr you'd hardly be able to notice a difference from then on.
Did you leave it on? it might be something like with Yggdrasil, that you have to leave it on 24/7.
@Currawong: try pll off with Singxer su-1 (with a short high-quality hdmi cable), i think you will find the sparkle you were looking for.
Listening to Bebo Valdes live at the Village Vanguard right now, just awesome live sound. Very very real.
