My Pinkfaun 2.16 ultra experience
I had a chance to put my hands on one yesterday. First impression - super heavy. The card has been milled from a single block of aluminum, around 5cm (2") thick. It is my understanding that the card is offered as an upgrade for Pink Faun Ultra servers only - at least for the time beeing. One...- Elberoth

JCAT USB XE or Pink Faun Ultra OCXO?
I have both Jcat XE and Pink Faun Ultra OCXO USB cards. In my system Pink Faun Ultra OCXO USB card is a step up from Jcat XE (as it should be, given the price delta). Both cards can be further improved by using Jcat Optimo Nano, LT3045 based inline voltage regulator, which does some incredible...- Elberoth

JCAT - music server upgrades, power supplies, cables
I just got the Jcat Optimo Nano and it is every bit as good as I expected it to be (knowing that it is build upon state-of-the-art LT3045 voltage regulators). Depending on the card you are using, the difference can be from jaw-droppingly-good to slight, but still worthwile. If you were...- Elberoth

Jcat Femto vs Jcat XE Xtreme Edition USB cards: Twice the Performance at Twice the Price?
I have both cards at home now. I have just finished 3 days of testing. If you were running the Jcat Femto USB card without a quality external PSU, switching to JCAT USB XE will be a true game changer. Much better resolution, more transparency, deeper soundstage, much more palpability and more...- Elberoth

Do Power Cords make a difference on the NHB-18NS Preamp?
A waste of money IMO. Sending the unit to CH for an upgrade would be a much more cost effective solution IMO (unless you have the latest spec).- Elberoth

Comparing MSB Reference to Select DAC
Who told you DA2 V2 is any different to DV2? (apart from the VC) I have discussed this topic at lenght with the distributor, who in turn have discussed this with EMM. FYI - I had DV2 at home for 6 months. I also had the Select II dAC. For me there was no contest - MSB was vastly superior...
