So sad, I had the Gryphon Essence Stereo on my list for possible end stage amp in my system. I guess I’ll see where my DIY takes me. VFet, and SIT amplifiers a possibility this year. Unsure if class...

Boulder definitely has more expensive big brothers with all the loading options, at more than twice the price, and more. I’m sure they don’t want to poach on those sales. I see the 508 as an easy...

Oh, I’ve done my googling (well DuckDuckGo-ing) , asking about experiences from people here.

Has anyone heard the Boulder 508? Thinking of simplifying my system somewhat. On/off switch, and MC/MM switch as only choices. Perhaps cartridge choice would be a bit more limited.

I found a (semi) local dealer. Look on their website, and look for a dealer near you. I live in lower Alabama. If there was a dealer near me, there probably is one near you.

MrSpeakers Voce on Blue Hawaii Special Edition. Dan also turned me on to some nice Phillips NOS tubes.

At my office I use Focal Utopia balanced with a Violectric V281.

Electrostatic is so...

Fantastic, thanks for sharing.

I do use Roon to resample all my files to DSD128 before sending the files to the Bricasti M12, as that unit has separate dac boards for sigma/delta conversions, and DSD. Just a choice for me.

This movie, and The Blues Brothers were the source of the comedy axis I grew up with. I'm a late boomer, and these movies made my sides hurt laughing, and still do. Quite interesting, this financing...

I did nothing that elegant. I used 4 “L” brackets to mount the single panel I have mounted on the ceiling in my small room. Visible hardware, yes. But I just don’t look up day to day.

Yours looks...

McIntosh clearly values some of the design elements in some of their classic gear. We all certainly understand the function of the MC75 amp chassis. But, that look, with a box grafted to the top is...

I have a Pono, it was not bad at the time. The store was great, for awhile.

I think NY is saying that Tidal converts his HiRez “masters” to MQA “masters” files, which, I guess he sees as...

Alright, did some experimenting with tubes etc on my old EL34 PP ANK DIY amp.

Changed to the stock (Provided tubes, which are essentially new) - same hum.

I then tried shorting one RCA input -...

Have not been up to the music room since the update, but have been looking for Roon app to be on the update list on my iPad, which it did not. So, I just opened the app, and it said there was update...

Here you go (I have not heard these)

Review | RAAL-requisite SR1a Earfield Headphone Monitor - Reviews - Audiophile Style

I was going to say, spend the money on making the WiFi better, if needed. Sounds like it works well enough just plugged into the Oppo unit, a common arrangement.

Blue Hawaii is an amp for electrostatic headphones, and will not run the Abyss. I use the Violectric V281 via balanced for Focal Utopias. I also use it as pre for a pair of ACA amps to desktop...

Better (bigger) sound space with open.

I use open in all of my personal spaces. (Focal Utopia in office, MrSpeakers Voce at home)

I have closed back, or IEMs in public spaces (Focal Elegia,...

2017 Macan S (I got tired of getting out of the 2013 Boxster)

I use the Kitsune HoloAudio Spring DAC in a different system/location than the Bricasti. The Spring is a great DAC, but a few years old now, and discontinued with the new DAC you are asking about.

Newest teaser today about advanced music recommendation feature. Sounds cool, of course, won't know till I try to use it if it is worth while.

Not seen/heard the new one, I have the older Kitsune level 3 holo spring audio DAC, and like it a lot.

Supposed to be a tidbit release a day for several days. I do hope they do mention SQ at some point, although I am pretty happy with it myself, with my ethernet streaming system.

Edit - I see the...
