Hi Michael, Hey, thank you for the kind words and information regarding your listening experience so far with the Vivace CAT7 Ethernet cable in the mix! It's very much appreciated. Your listening impressions of comparing against other cables in...

Eric - Great news to see you embrace again 2 channel audio in addition to headphones. The new B&W D4 series are really special and a “bargain”. And, the CH Precision 10 series are fantastic. Congrats and happy liestening!

This is my last update to this thread. Given all the permutations and combinations of headphone amps and headphones I have tried, I am ready to choose my optimum configuration. The relatively new dCS Lina headphone amp (standalone with my front end)...

Remember I was describing one of their Class A amps. If you're looking towards the P7500, this is Class AB and may well sound very different. As it happened I didn't favour any of the Class A amps I tested - they didn't seem to suit my horns...

Sounds like a great company and product but not the flavor I am looking for.

Well I just tried the roads and they aren't that bad for the first time. But EVERYTHING is still shut down. I read in the news yesterday the police were delivering medicines to those in need so people wouldn't have to try and drive. I was...

Oh yes, its another day of shorts and tee shirts :satisfying:

I really liked the A200’s when I heard them at David’s, a seductive sweetness. But they did run out of gas when pushed. I would imagine that’s why the following iterations have had much more power. If you’re shopping integrated’s, some...

> Anyone, want to take a stab at describing the Accuphase sound of their amps? My impression from comments they are warm and lean more polite. I had the Class A Accuphase A-36 for a year or two during my trials to find a suitable SS amp to...

I installed the JPLAY App with JPLAY version 1.0.6 (current 1.0.7) and also updated to the latest Lumin Firmware for my Lumin U2 Mini. Up to now I used the original Lumin App as well as the white and the black Linn App with my Lumin. What to say:...

...and/or... The timing issue could well be placed at the hands of the very most END device (the audiophile gear itself). Since there is no real "standard" that audio equipment manufacturers follow (unlike makers of Ethernet Network gear such as...

I thought they would have a "house sound" like many brands do. After looking at the line I'd probably gravitate to the P7500. The Accuphase website doesn't give much information on the amps as far as specs. I thought it very odd they gave power...

Wow looking good! Must be so much easier to access everything and send and receive merchandise.

Damn Mike, that is a lot of inventory. I hope you have strong doors, good alarm systems and a couple of only slightly under fed German Shepherds roaming the building.

No ice coffee out? The inhumanity of it all. :panic: I'm doing my part from Florida Michael. I just put ice in my tequila.

They don't only occur at the last device, they occur all along the way, including the router, the "upstream" server, in any "switch" connections (e.g. RJ45 interfaces) it may have, etc. Also, switch-mode power supplies that generally power these...

I also like a good switch and love my Bonn. A few days ago I watched this video and understand the part how digital can go wrong. The question that is still open for me: Why do all those small timing errors happen only in the last switch and not...

Vinyl Vs Digital: Which Is THE BEST? #vinyl #dac #thebest - YouTube

It is literally SOLID ICE out my window. Everything - including fast food restaurants and such are shut down. I actually had to go without getting my morning iced coffee today. <gasp>

What model are you looking at ...?

Ice storm in Texas. Shipping date unknown at this time. :dunno:

Thanks Brian !

Gone but not forgotten, my Plinius SA-102 stands as one of my favorite all time amps.

Glad you got it sorted. Not being able to get into the web player was a sign that something was wrong further up the chain than LUMIN.

Thanks so much for all that info, given its price, the Musetec seems to be outstanding. I live in Canada, and I found a dealer near Chicago that could get them. I was a bit apprehensive of buying a Chinese Dac from the US, while living in Canada…so...

The Musetec 005 is a very good DAC. The sound is as detailed as the Lumin X1 and it is mostly similar to the X1 except for the slight warmth and additional smoothness that it has. I have done side by side comparisons with the same gear and it is...

+1 Too much ego. Seen him go haywire on-line too many times. Not a fan either.

I am curious of your thoughts on the Musetec 005 Dac, I was close to buying one of these ( unheard) last year, based on all the good things I read about it. At that point I was using an IFI Zen stream with Sbooster BOTW power supply as my streamer....

X1 is amazing. It sounded the best in our Lumin shootout, but I still have a soft spot for the engagement factor of the P1 . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I have spent the last 2 weeks comparing the X1 internal DAC with fibre along with SPDIF out and USB out. The SPDIF was to a Benchmark DAC3B and the USB was to a Musetec 005. The comparison was with the same DACs streamed with fibre using the Sonore...
