    BACCH-SP: The future of high-end audio? Yes.

    My unit hasn’t arrived but I can answer that. I understand the 3D image is available at the sweet spot which can be pretty wide depending on how the head tracking camera scan was done. I’m told it can be as wide as a sofa but it’s intended to be only for a single listener. The sweet spot extends...

    BACCH-SP: The future of high-end audio? Yes.

    Thanks for the heads up. I checked with Edgar before the purchase and it seems fine. Wanted the portability and fuss free all in one laptop rather than separate desktop components. Probably end up configuring it as a B4M plus Roon server or maybe play to it as a NAA endpoint or uPnP player from...

    BACCH-SP: The future of high-end audio? Yes.

    Ordered a BACCH4Mac Audiophile edition for my MacBook Air M2. I figure a laptop would be easier than using a MacMin which will require a separate monitor, keyboard and mouse to operate. Although not stated in the website, Edgar confirms this laptop is fine for the job. From what I gather, we...

    QSA LANEDRI Series

    I see from your site the DC Gamma Revelation on offer now. Does the original DC extension cable processed at the GI level exceed this current GR in performance despite its inferior wire design? I'm trying to see how the extension cable fits in the DC cable hierarchy. Thanks

    My Pinkfaun 2.16 ultra experience

    Many paths to audio Nirvana. I think there is space for all technologies and approaches to exist. And as a consumer, the more options to choose from the better! But like you, I do I wonder how much further the USB technology can be pushed sound wise? My opinion is that it's not a stagnant...

    QSA LANEDRI Series

    Anas, can you clarify more on this point? How does one upgrade? And into what form, still an extension cable? Both original extension cable and current cable are labeled Gamma Infinity. Did both cables undergo the same QSA process?

    QSA LANEDRI Series

    I thought all the DC extension cables were already in the gamma infinity range. At least my extension cables were marked as such.

    My Pinkfaun 2.16 ultra experience

    Apparently Jord will be at Axpona. He might bring a unit along seeing it’s already completed. So anyone attending the event might have a chance to hear it

    My Pinkfaun 2.16 ultra experience

    Finally the long awaited Pink Faun Ultra USB bridge is complete and just about to be delivered to their first owners next week. Last year 2023 when I found out about it, I visited Pink Faun in Rhenen to have a first look and wrote up about that visit is here. Being a long time Pink Faun user...

    My Pinkfaun 2.16 ultra experience

    This BACCH is an interesting product - fancy being able to remove crosstalk between speakers! Do I understand correctly that there is a version called the BACCH SP which allow connections via USB (in and out). So the connections would be say a Pink Faun streamer -> BACCH SP -> DAC? Can you...

    QSA : My take on their expensive products

    Obviously, it is system dependent, but without knowing that I would suggest trying on system power cleaner first, power amps, preamp. In that order. I would only work through dealers that offer a money back satisfaction guarantee. So you can try and if it doesn’t work out get your money back.

    What cables are you using in your system ?????

    Believer in cables - I view them as important as a component and spend accordingly. The QSA Lanedri ones made the most difference. QSA Lanedri - Ultimatum Infinity for speakers, Gamma Infinity and Gamma Relevation for AC and a few standard and custom Gamma Infinity versions for DC Pink Faun -...

    Are Ethernet tweaks/gimmicks turning out to be like the same in the USB space?

    ok, I guess you're saying disconnect the wire from the ethernet DAC side rather than the router side.

    Open buffle experience

    Fieldcoil, full range drivers! Nice. What amp do you drive the coils with? What's the brand of the speakers, not sure I got it initially.

    Are Ethernet tweaks/gimmicks turning out to be like the same in the USB space?

    There is a counter argument that unless there is a way to shut down the streamer's internal LAN system after removing the ethernet cable, the streamer will continue to try and reestablish the LAN connection. This effort might be audible. Until recently I wasn't aware there was a way to do this...
