    Psvane Acme Series (new flagship series)

    Unfortunately, just one pair. No worries dave. Well the only reason I'm posting here is I don't have an ebay account that would allow me to post something at this kind of value, and in Dubai, its a smallish market for such things. I figured forums might be useful to reach out end users like me...

    LM845 Premium issue

    My friend had an LM219ia, same tube complement like the premium. He ran into issues with the 310a, got them replaced and he was golden after. It might not be the same for you, but try that out if possible.

    LM845 Premium issue

    From what you are describing, it could be just faulty tubes. I have been there when tubes behave strangely after being on for a couple of hours, it doesn't show immediately as soon as you switch on the amp. If there was something wrong with the amp itself, you won't be able to run it normally...

    LM845 Premium issue

    Hi, Have had my LM845 premium for a year now. My dac is rockna wavedream signature. It has it own volume control. At 0db, max volume, the SE output is 3.6 vrms. I have never had any issues with the LM845. Its strange but could be a defect with your unit. Volume pot position would be between 8...

    Totaldac versus Rockna Wavedream?

    I got lucky with a socket that is nearby. I actually have an edgerouter without wifi, probably bigger improvement than an Audiophile ethernet switch. I have actually two sockets so I'm able to have the router near the rig, powered with a paul hynes sr5 LPS, then take ethernet back to a switch...

    Totaldac versus Rockna Wavedream?

    The ethernet and its tweaks are a whole other story. And yes, noticeable difference in SQ comes from that. Ethernet is Much better than wifi, any wifi. Upper tear of streamer don't even have that wireless option, maybe just airplay and that's for convenience. But certainly no wifi connection for...

    Totaldac versus Rockna Wavedream?

    Its been a while since i connected with USB, but as far as i recall, you will have 4 output options connected to your core, the NET. One is the regular zone for all other output, 2 are for nothing, the 4th should be the USB out. USB can be finky in general (even with other streamer i played with...

    Totaldac versus Rockna Wavedream?

    Certainly yes ) Usb in that case is coming from the PC board itself inside the NET. After you connect the USB cable, select USB input on the dac, go to roon sittings, audio tab. Select the USB output which must be showing by then as your active zone. Its different from the zone of other output...

    Totaldac versus Rockna Wavedream?

    As a general rule, almost any dedicated streamer would be better than your mac. Also, its not the type of connection that makes the biggest difference, its the way the streamer is designed first. Its circuits, power supply, etc. I have tried USB, AES, Spdif and I2s. From same streamer to same...

    Totaldac versus Rockna Wavedream?

    Caeser, I'm not sure which version of the rockna wavedream you have heard. Earlier they used to have an MSB manufactured r2r ladders. With the new 26 bit edition and the 27 bit signature ladder (like mine), i can assure you its not "warming things up", it just transparent as a clear window with...
