Re: Omega QRs into Everest?
Are you saying you are using 12,000 US$ of cables for a 800 US$ Dac?

Re: Omega QRs into Everest?
The N-01XD was replaced by the internal dac of the Devialet.

Re: Recommended Reference Component: Devialet Expert 1000 Pro Mono

I have now moved to using a Mute MC-3 + USB reclocker. It is clocked by a Cybershaft OP21A-D (external LPS). The Mutec is a special version without power unit and I am using the... -

Re: Esoteric N-01XD
Hi team,
One question. Is the N-01XD supposed to benefit from an external 10 Mhz clock when USB input is used (streaming from Roon but that’s beside the point)?
Thank you.

Re: Introducing Roon 1.8 - COMING SOON
For those who may not know, there is a major issue with Roon 1.8 running on some flavors of Linux (probably relying on ZFS), such as my Mojo Audio DejaVu Evo.

Re: Esoteric K-01XS and Mutec MC-3+ USB, did anyone try that ?

The OP21A has four output ports. I am currently only using one,... -

Hi Marc,
Currently the power cord connecting the N-01XD to the Shunyata Everest is a Shunyata Sigma V1.
I may replace it by a Sigma V2 at a later stage. An Omega is tempting too, but I guess... -

With the N-01XD I think I probably prefer 4fs/M2 filter in my environment.
It feels a bit more musical.
Either way the sound isn’t as defined/transparent as what I am getting streaming directly... -

Re: So happy with my digital...finally
Thanks. I guess I could start by using it in USB for now.

I agree. It's similar to auto manufacturers moving the aircon controls to the touchscreen or the gear levers to a wheel-dial or buttons on the console....it's a "solution" that never was a problem.
