    SOtM sNH-10G Network Switches x2 : The NEW KING of USB/Network Gadget Setup

    Very interesting find! You mean, to resolve this is to : 1. replace the SP500 altogether or 2. just separate the SP500 into different power source? In my case, the SP500 (right side) also shared the same isolation transformer as my Dac & DDC (left side). Is this similar setup as yours that...

    SOtM sNH-10G Network Switches x2 : The NEW KING of USB/Network Gadget Setup

    Hi, thanks for asking... I did quite a lot of experiments: - Switching AC cords (affected the sound quite a bit) - Switching DC cable from PSU > from silver to copper - Switching Ethernet cables None could make the fully upgraded unit sound "right" for me (in my system it's just too bright). I...

    SOtM sNH-10G Network Switches x2 : The NEW KING of USB/Network Gadget Setup

    Don’t know why… now my system sounds terrible with the upgraded version. With reference to my previous post, now the switch should have around 130hr on. Comparing with the stock version this upgraded one sounds terrible (treble emphasis), making some albums unbearable. I’m sure there must be...

    SOtM sNH-10G Switch : Mods & Tweaks!

    Can anyone tell me how do I disassemble the unit? It doesn’t seem to be straightforward as the board seems to be fixed with the back panel. Thanks!

    SOtM sNH-10G Network Switches x2 : The NEW KING of USB/Network Gadget Setup

    Upgrade was done by SOtM and yes the silver wire was installed in the switch. So from your experience, this cable “upgrade” brought about excessive harshness in my system? If so what’s the best resolution? Would you guys suggest after-market internal cable? If so which one? Is there any...

    SOtM sNH-10G Network Switches x2 : The NEW KING of USB/Network Gadget Setup

    Hi guys, I have a question about the standard and upgraded versions of this Switch. Earlier this month, I borrowed the standard Switch + standard PSU from a local distributor to try, and after hearing a clear improvement, I ordered the fully upgraded versions (Switch + PSU), and based on the...

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    Thanks for your reply. May you please elaborate why it’s important to get the volume control? Can I just use my amplifier to control the output? The reason I need I2S is that I want to connect it with my Hermes DDC (that takes USB from my streamer and output I2S). This in theory should improve...

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    Hi guys, I'm currently using Denafrips Terminator Plus with the Hermes DDC, and now I'm considering to change the Dac from T+ to Lampizator Baltic 3 or Atlantic 2 TRP. I have a few questions. 1. Has anyone had any chance to compare the T+ with the Baltic 3 or Atlantic 2? If so, can we say this...

    Have you guys ever experienced any static noise with NOS mode? My Terminator Plus is connected to the Hermes via I2S. The TP is always in NOS mode, and both DAC + DDC have been left on the whole time (as suggested by Alvin). When I did not listen to it, I just put the DAC in standby mode. From...

    HDMI cable can make a difference of course. About the BNC, some said a studio quality cable should be sufficient, but I found that the system sounds better with an "audiophile" cable. My Atmosphere X BNC has a ground connector, and at first I didn't pay much attention to this extra ground...

    Hi there, I'm curious how do you plan to use the Gaia with your setup? Have you received it and how do you like it?

    Thanks for your input mate. May you confirm which model is your Canare cable? Mine looks like this. I setup my T+ and Hermes correctly. I enabled the clock and made sure to send out the right 45/49 clock. I use Tubulus Concentus I2S cable and made sure to config I2S pin-out correctly. The...

    May you please elaborate what you did wrong with yours? I hope it's the same case with mine (although unlikely). I rarely regret buying hifi equipment but I started to doubt myself for switching from a perfectly fine Ayre QB9 Twenty to "the TP + Hermer + expensive clock cables + expensive HDMI...

    Please update what you think about that cable. Today, I've just received my Tubulus Concentus. And have it setup along with my SR Atmosphere BNC cables. I'd say the Tubulus cable is very stiff on lateral plane and I had to move my DDC to accommodate the cable, as I want to avoid unnecessary...
