    What ethernet cables are members using?

    This evening I connected the Pachanko LAN cable in my system. The Velvety. I compared it with my Telegartner LAN cable. Mmmmm…..the Pachanko is still there! What do I like about it? The smoothness of sound. Very natural and very nice flow all over. This cable also makes a bigger picture. I like...

    Wow! What a nice and detailed review! I had a real pleasure to read it. I have now the Pachanko Constellation mini Se with Stellar power supply in my set. Together with the Sforzato DSP-010EX (full set up). For a couple of weeks now. I am so deeply impressed of the sound this combination gives...

    It is always not nice when things are going not in the way we had planned it. In private or in business. TDX: your issue is an business thing. Please communicate this matter in a personal and business way towards Chan. Not at this forum. I honestly believe that Chan is full of the right...

    I contacted my dutch importer about the delivering times. Issue is as follows. Building a masterpiece server is far more demanding than building a mini. I orderd a mini. Besides of that there is still the global problem of the getting the parts and chips. I mean the availability issue and the...

    My ‘Panchanko’ is send by Chan to the Netherlands. So…no concerns here. Take in mind that the problems with the availability of chips and parts are still there.

    Wow! We have the same Sforzato! The clock makes an big difference. Promised! Before the Panchanko I had the Rhein. The Rein is very good. The Panchanko even better. AND with Diretta. Before the Rhein I also used my Mac as ROON core. The step from the Mac to the Rhein was huge. The step from the...

    Yes, the Roon core is in the mini. Say it otherwise The mini is the Roon core. I use the Fidata only for storage. Of course you choose where the data is coming from. I am selecting always the Fidata and the Panchanko as the storage devices. I have them standard on ON.When you select a file in...

    The data to the Sforzato is stored on the Fidata and the Pannchanko mini. If I listen to the exactly the same file the Fidata sounds perhaps slightly opener. Only slightly! The differente in price is very huge! So….the Panchanko is by far the better choice. With ROON you can easily make your...

    I use ROON. I am a big fan of ROON. Sounds great and very userfriendly. Also very important: it works flawlessly. I have from Sforzato the DSP—030EX. Together with de PMC-15EX clock. Sounds gorgeous.

    I also have the Constellation Mini. I use the Hypsos as power supply. On short term it will be replaced by another model from Panchanko. In the mean time I borrow the mini from from my dealer Audiotweaks. From the Netherlands. Thats is were I live. About the mini. I use it in combination with a...
