Heard Taiko but different system and room so cannot comment.
But as I said from my first post, I've had my Masterpiece for a few years and haven't had any urge to upgrade/change.
It's absolutely a top tier server and the continual software upgrades from the company shows they take care of...
Concur.
Chan messaged me to say he had (secretly) updated my Masterpiece. Vocals are ooooooh so seductive. Even blacker background, vocals pop out in front of you. Lights off, eyes closed, a mini jazz concert in front of me :cool:
This update is the most noticeable improvement over...
agree with the quiet background. that's what I experienced as well.
and re wait time. A lot of audio gear is being delayed as well as everything else.
try buying a car now. 12+months wait for some models, it's crazy.
I had to wait a while for mine too, but the important thing is it DID...
@VK-GR
so what exactly was the mistake? did you run fibre optic into the server and it didn't sound good?
I am planning to run fibre optic in my house (never tried it), so your past "mistake" would be useful for me later.
Just a quick update for everyone. Chan from Pachanko's latest update is ace. Don't know what he did but I came bk from holiday and sat down sometime was sounding very "right".
Had a good 2hr listening session. thanks Pachanko :)
Good to see more and more users are finding this brand. Can't wait for more users to review and share their experiences.
And as I said, if budget allows, go for the top model.
Power is everything with digital :)
I have no urges to upgrade at all :)
Chan from Panchanko has been doing periodic updates and fixes for me. Especially once when I had an internet/networking problem at home.
that beefy power supply is worth the asking price and I reckon it takes it to another level in terms quietness and...
I have both Sablon and Pachanko Ethernet. Both excellent value for what you get. In my system, Pachanko is a tad smoother and I have it connecting to my CH C1.
Everything's been running in for ~2months now, left on 24/7. and I am still totally satisfied with the SQ since adding the Pachanko.
music just flows and I find myself glued to my listening chair for longer each night. (eg 2-3 hrs)
whilst I cannot remember the exact improvements since day 1...
Congrats. I had the EXACT combo of C1+T1+X1+M1.1 too. the transparency and detail will blow you away
the CH was so good Irecently upgraded to M10 (stereo). which lifted it into the stratosphere :)
for M1.1, remember to put a good power cord in BOTH 15A and 20A. not just 20A.
and also...
Recently received my Pachanko Constellation Masterpiece server (formerly called Constellation SE+) and just want to share some initial impressions with you guys.
I had little knowledge of this company except for their digital cables which have received great feedbacks from a lot of people doing...
I can confirm Mark's PC works magnificently with my CH M1.1. Adds a dose of musicality and smoothness to the already clean and fast sound of CH.
one little trick I can share is that the massive Bocchino 20A plug sits a bit loose in the CH. Wrapping some teflon plumber's tape (to the desired...
