Two things, ROON Integration and upsamping / downsampling algorithm. I am not a fan of any sort of tempering with original bitstream regardless of one’s talent and implementation. I like to hear digital bits just the way studio intended us to enjoy in our environment. And I am sure, you have...
Charles, a highly resolved system like yours begs a comparison of couple of players in your own system. I would put Innuos and Aurender as two top contenders for your system. Based on my brief experience with MU1, I don’t think it’s the right fit for you. May I recommend Innuos Pulsar or...
Thanks for sharing your experience. Streaming, when done right with a high quality source can be equally satisfying as other formats. Most of my listening is through Streaming but I do alternate between CD’s and Vinyl for change of pace and to enjoy my collection of rarities that remain...
So what is your impression on MC-10 connected to N30SA? I am going to be auditioning W20SE and N30SA in my system next month. They will be synchronized simultaneously with my Merging L-Clock.
Thank you for your review. Sorry I’m late to the party but your review was exactly I was hoping to learn about GG3. I got my eyes on GG for a while. BTW, gorgeous setup. If I may ask, what rack system you’re using? With constant changes in gear, I really like the modular racks that can be...
Thank you for sharing your impressions on Puritan GM. I am also using combination of Entreq Silver Minimus and Acoustic Revive RGC-24K in my system. Impressive results from grounding!
There is a new tweak now available that eliminates fuse out of the equation. Folks are reporting a huge leap in performance over any audiophile fuse. Check it out!

I am also interested in learning more about umbilicals cables. I did hear N20 with external (merging L-clock) and the upgrade in performance was far from subtle. So encouraging that I’m upgrading to N30SA very soon.
That’s what I suspected and it was confirmed by another user of SoTM switch with external master clock (Mutec Ref 10 SE). The difference was there but subtle. He end up going with Melco switch with Pink Faun OCXO clock / internal wiring upgrade that yielded much better performance in his system...
I did notice the SoTM switch in your pictures…I‘ve been thinking about trying the SoTM switch with the sCLK-EX (internal clock) and 10 MHz master clock connector. Still on the fence as I do not know how much of an improvement SoTM would be over my Telegartner M12, which is universally praised as...
That’s quite understandable as you have much more $$$$ vested in Analog. I never thought I could give up on my TT but that changed after acquiring NADAC combo. I plan to upgrade my +CLOCK to U level once I am settled with W20SE or N30SA. BTW, I am using Telegartner M12 Switch Gold with JCAT...
Congratulations Denis! I am in complete awe with your dedication to analog and digital systems. What an incredible achievement!!! I switched to Merging trio back in 2021 and concur with your assessment, NADAC trio brings realism and transparency of highest order and presents an ultimate path to...
Charles, I bet you are anxiously waiting for 200 hours mark transformation. I believe your DAC will continue to evolve until about 300-350 hours….exciting times indeed!
Hello Marcin, I really appreciate your feedback. I am hoping to try this in my system once available. Please do post your impressions once you move Optic Bridge closer to your main rig. I will be placing the BRIDGE 1.5M away from M12. I am currently running a 15M run of high quality LINKUP...
Hello Marcin, That’s a great news. Would you please share your impressions of OPT Bridge? Are you using the Bridge before or after M12 switch? I currently own M12 Gold switch with OPTIMO 3 DUO PS!
That’s interesting indeed. I looked up your Aries, which indicates a Gigabit Ethernet requirement same as my Merging +player. I had the similar problem with ENO, it would not work with my Merging +player. I was just as surprised to learn that both ‘standard‘ Muon and ENO plus LAN cables...
I have tested 3 different clocks under $20K before settling with Merging Clock. The difference between these clocks are readily apparent and substantial in any high resolution system. As far as distortions, your speculations on my system or my hearing has no merits.
I am aware of other inexpensive Master Clock alternatives but my Merging +clock is every bit unique and an integral part of my Merging +player network attached DAC. My investment in +Clock is very strategic as I am slowly adding components that are being greatly benefited from this extremely...
