Interesting fact:
The plenue 1 has the same PCM1795A DAC, 2 x I/V OPA1612 opamps 1 x OPA1612 opamp for HO (compared to 2 for balanced) as the Plenue S. It uses the same processor but its underclocked in the plenue 1 due to heat so restricted to DSD128. The Plenue S processor runs at full speed and can do DSD256 but needs the large heatsink body to dissipate the heat. All the other plenues use the same processor too but eg Plenue L doesn't need a huge heatsink as DSD256 on the ESS9038pro is passed natively bit perfect (no level meters or jeteffects either) it also does on the AK4497 and the R2 Cirrus Logics. The reason these dont need a large heatsink is the cpu doesnt need to convert DSD to PCM. burr-brown PCM1792/1795 DACs can only play PCM (hence the model name) the cowon software converts all DSDs on the fly to PCM (this also allows level meters and jeteffects) and requiring more cpu power thus generating more heat.

Burr-Brown have seperate DAC models for native DSD playback. DSD1792/1795 etc.

London travel, an overkill?

Good luck at the airport with that!

Some folk wear them around their neck: 'for when times get crappy' (your player gets confiscated).

Walking to work , todays location is way on top of a hill. Reminding me of that Kate Bush song "Running up that hill".

What phone are you using with the xduoo?

It's going to be a good day at work. But it's a sad day as well, I'm retiring my Onkyo dp-x1 battery just wasn't lasting very long in it. Wish I could replace it.

An old phone but good audio. Huwei

Dont mind at all. I wanted a stand that had enough height and open on the bottom. All the fiio m11 inputs are on the bottom of the player. So i drew it up and 3d printed it. Its not perfect but works well for me. if you have a printer or access to one it is available here for free along with more photos and info https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3801950 the web site is having some issues lately and might load slow be patient


Thanks for this...I dont have a printer, but a few friends of mine do. I'll try it out! I like your design alot!

Unless you a big man and its not big to you. Dude I carried Hugo and Hugo 2 for years , 3 hrs a day. This is half that size and 1 watt of power.

Man, I agree with you so much on this. That's the beautiful thing about this hobby, different strokes for different folks. I too am a big man with big hands, and having a stack like yours is nothing. And if you can get more out your stack and can handle it, I'm down with that within reason.
