    Plixir Statement LPS : I bought this flagship grade LPS just now.

    In fact, there is simply a gigantic difference between Elite BDC and Statement, which cannot be described in terms of cooler / warmer!!! BDC Statement is a completely different level of musical expression and audiophile SQ. Please, try!

    Plixir Statement LPS : I bought this flagship grade LPS just now.

    Hi Pierre, Weiss DAC consumes 1.05A (according to the manufacturer), so 9V-2A is enough even with a double reserve. However, SQ may differ slightly between 2A and 4A. Sometimes (but not always) 4A sounds more harmonious, so I understand those who advise BDC 9V/4A. Sometimes cost can be a...

    SFORZATO Introduces unique modern Network Players, DAC and Master Clock

    Hi Matt, The Japanese DSC-Grus is a pure USB DAC, almost a complete analogue of the export DSP-050EX. The only difference is that the DSP-050EX is a network player, which in addition to the USB input also has a LAN (SFP) input for connecting to the network. Everything else (the DAC itself and...

    My Pachanko Server is here. A bargain at 16k Euros?!

    Hi all. Yes, Pachanko servers can be discussed for a long time - everyone will have their own good personal experience. But in my opinion, the most important quality that is inherent in Pachanko is unconditional musical expressiveness. It's worth a lot. We have finally found that perfect server...

    Yes, Blumenhofer continue to produce the Classic Series, which now has three models, including the top 1743 that @rpk talked about above. It was a good idea for Blumenhofer to make old-style speakers for the Dutch company Old School Hi-Fi, but with the Blumenhofer`s sound signature...

    My Pachanko Server is here. A bargain at 16k Euros?!

    Pachanko is absolutely right. The final result depends very much on all elements of the network, including ALL cables, switches and other "little things". And the better the digital equipment, the greater this influence. In the end, it all depends on the specific implementation.

    My Pachanko Server is here. A bargain at 16k Euros?!

    I wanted to say that, under equal conditions of comparison, playback via the Diretta protocol is much better in comparison with standard UPnP / Open Home. I have compared local storage Fidata SX20U playback on Sforzato DSP-010/030 over a carefully constructed network many times. In equal...

    Without a doubt, any server over the Diretta protocol will have huge benefits if the end player supports Diretta, such as Sforzato, for example. The clock also gives a greater improvement in SQ.
