SPEC RMP (USB version). Settings were updated by Chan. Only glitches I have noticed is that I cannot easily swap DACs despite the SPEC Diretta client having two USB outputs (ideally I would like to have both my main DAC and my headphone DAC/AMP fed by Diretta) and that I am still waiting for a...
Some thoughts:
Personally, I could not come to grips with the cost of the top offerings (I have contacted TAIKO and PinkFaun and of course Antipodes having been a long term user).
What I like about Pachanko are:
- that there is a range of products which allow to match with someone's financial...
I have the Constellation Reference and as I commented on another thread after a short demo at my local importer’s I added the Diretta SPEC UB-1 between the Constellation and my DAC. It makes the sound even more naturally flowing, removing any hint of rough edges or “anxiety” in the musical...
After a short but quite convincing demo at my dealer's (between USB and Diretta outputs, Diretta greatly improves the soundstage and the overall 'feeling' of the musical presentation becomes at the same time both more controlled but without losing the dynamics, not sure how to describe it to be...
Very happy owner (as of two days now) of the Constellation Reference. Chan has (as always) gone out of his way to provide real time guidance and support (even on a Sunday afternoon!). First impressions very good using USB, now playing with HQPlayer and hopefully in a couple of weeks will have...
a more general question: with the capacitors-based power supply of Nagra components do the people here have a view on whether power cords have an effect on the sound or not?
This is a follow up from my earlier post. In the meanwhile I had the opportunity to test at home (at different times of course and allowing ample time for all units to settle down) the earlier version of the Constellation Mini, the current version of the Constellation Mini with its matching...
I had the opportunity yesterday to test the entry-level Pashanko server (powered by a good power supply) against my Antipodes EX in both USB and AES/EBU (using the Antipodes P2 reclocker) modes. The Pachanko came as a very clear winner; more quiet, better soundstage, timing and tonality. Peaks...
Hi all, I just came by this brand this morning. Seems they have a similar philosophy as Antipodes (focus on power supply). Would be very curious to see how the sound compares to Antipodes K series products and (for a very different approach using smart SMPS) to Grimm MU1… @Christian P. perhaps...
Hi, I came late to this thread as I experimented myself recently with the two settings. Any chance to make this(se) file(s)available?
thanks in advance
