What remote controls are you guys using with the Phonitor? I am moving to a new house with a new chair/arrangement and may need a remote.
Ok. Does it void warranty? I could be wrong but any modification is usually sufficient reason to refuse warranty service. If SPL confirms this mod as "safe", I would have nothing against it. Hope it makes reasonable case for being cautious with such mods.nope. That isn't a trigger. The point is when a source turns on the amps are triggered and turned on (and off when the unit turns off.) People can do whatever they want. I was using a surge protector and was turning everyone on and off. That wasn't useful to me. I just wanted to the trigger to work like a normal trigger and the mod does that.
again, this is very normal common stuff. SPL just changed it a bit to only work with their amps. If someone wants to change it back to normal they can do the simple mod.
The noise was less noticeable when I used my battery-powered MacBook as an endpoint for Roon. The SQ also improved a little compared to directly connecting xe to my Roon core miniPC via USB. I guess transport does make a difference...I hear a small noise/click every time my Phonitor xe (with DAC module) switches between PCM and DSD format songs. Is this normal? I don't hear any noise during PCM sample rate switch.
Perhaps the built-in DAC is not as good as some of the standalone DACs...But the chance is I need to spend much more to get a DAC that works well with xe. I chose to trust the engineers from SPLIt’s just a guess but, I believe majority of SPL owners opt out from build-in DAC option hence lock of responses to your question. With external DACs I didn’t find any issues whatsoever. Source matters. And today there are pretty good and inexpensive options outside of PC ecosystem.
