    The Esoteric rep from Japan was at the show. He said they were thinking about building a Grandioso level network transport in a way which leads you to believe they were actually doing it. If you think N-01XD SE sounds good (which is based on a Lumin...

    No. There is only one DAC. It accepts PCM or DSD signals. PCM upconversion, and PCM to DSD conversion happens in a FPGA prior to the DAC. The DAC is just a software algorithm in an FPGA. So there are two FPGA's one of which is dedicated to the...

    They are sigma-delta modulator DAC's with flow pass filter. PCM signals are processed as PCM, or PCM signals can be converted to DSD before being converted from digital to analog. Esoteric also give you the choice of upconverting PCM signals before...

    I think Magico is set to retire the S7 design and put it in it's rightful place in the pantheon of other great past successes.

    I have measured the current draw of over 20 different NUC boards. For the regular Nucleus, the current draw @ 12V is as follows: Standby: 0.05A Music playing (no DSP): 0.42A Startup spike (less than 0.1s): 1.22A Nucleus+ Standby: 0.05A

    Intel specs for the NUC boards used inside the Nucleus clearly state: Input voltage: 12-19V DC Which means you can use any voltage from 12V to 19V. Nucleus comes with 19V one, which is the most popular laptop standard (and also the cheaper...

    According to the Roon website it takes a 19 volt power supply. Also those LHY PS from AliExpress are grey market and have no warranty. There is a US Distributor in Texas with full warranty and free shipping.

    This is a 12 volt LPS....is that sufficient ?....I thought one needed something like 19/20 volts, especially if doing DSP, etc.

    The obvious next question... did the sinus surgery have any impact on your hearing acuity/listening enjoyment? If beneficial, that could be the ultimate audiophile "tweak" for us aging audiophile codgers! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

    It’s only needed if the power supply it’s connected to is a SMPS. If you’re using a LPS, it’s not required.

    That’s critical listening mode where the display goes blank. I’ve tried rebooting the n200 and reinstalling conductor 4. Clicking help responds with “ no email client found”. Insight anyone? Thanks. Fixed it! Factory reset to the rescue.
