Hi all back after a long time away due to a death in the family and an SGM 2015 that I couldn’t get to work ;( until yesterday due to giving the Power Button a bit of compressed air and voila. Hoping anyone can give me a few pointers. I see on a few of the posts about setting HQ Player but I...
Just a question for those of us with an Evo and not the Extreme, is TAS the only thing that will be available for the Evo obviously the USB card is specially built for the Extreme so the Evo either will not or cannot be upgraded via more hardware ?
I know this really isn't the right thread anymore but has the Evo or SGM 2015 with Evo upgrades got to the point where it can't get any better ? I know most of the software and hardware mentioned in previous posts are mostly relevant to the Extreme. So when the EVO gets the TAS software...
I’m still in the process of getting my system fully realised after not listening to anything for nearly a year but hopefully depending on International Shipping, I should have 90% of my system ready to go by next month just need to look at the power cords and add some Taiko Daizas too.
Thanks for the info, Preamp it is, when I finally get it, it will be nice to see if there’s any difference between my AMG Viela and the SGM Evo all with Marks interconnects, just need to get one of his tonearm Cables for comparison too.
Just wondering what people think is the first piece of equipment you should put a Prince Sablon into. I hope to change all my plugs to Prince Sablons over the next 12 to 18 months. That’s 4/5 so is there an opinion of what you should plug it into whether it’s streamer/TT motor going upwards to...
@matthias after having the Vitus SCD and SIA in my previous setup I would have no problem having a streamer and Dac from the same company in fact like you say it might be simple and an easy solution but if the quality is there why look elsewhere if it’s that good.
Will this give you a starting off point for when the TAS software goes onto the Evo if your using a Dac from the official added support list or will you have to start from the beginning because the Evo is a different product to the Extreme ?
Just wanted to ask there were some previous questions about DACs working with the Extreme and that to get some to work they needed drivers uploaded to the Extreme is this also the case for the SGM 2015 or Evo ? Sold my Aqua XHD to pay for an Evo so had been looking at a cheaper Dac maybe the...
All Sablon cabling here including the new 2020 Ethernet and Usb Cables, already had RCA’s for Dac to Preamp and XLR’s for Pre to Power and Speaker Cables. Looking at getting a new Tonearm cable later in the year to replace my standard AMG cable.
Is the Amanero USB Board already in the Extreme or does it have to be fitted by sending the unit away ? If it does need to be fitted will it be available for the Evo ?
Started off with some Allman Brothers Band at The Fillmore East and finished with a blast of Tron Legacy not the crappy remix version or the blue vinyl either
Hi Pinu, I think TAS is going to be rolled out to all the Extremes first and after that has been completed then it will be rolled out to the Evo but it will be an optimised version of TAS specially for the EVO and not just a port of the Extreme version. I might and probably am wrong on this but...
So got the Tidal Intra yesterday after a week of waiting for it to get through Customs Clearance from England, live in N Ireland. Tried it with my AMG Viella V12 And Benz LPS cartridge going through the Preos Phono Stage. With my much cheaper PMC speakers it struggled with the singing at times...
Would a faster internet connection also help with the Evo/Evo Light although I’m guessing because the Extreme is on another level to the Evo it might not make as much difference to the Evo as it does to the Extreme. Qobuz user here too.
In the process of upgrading my Amp and streamer to an updated Evo, have been thinking of getting Daiza's to improve the sound for all of them. Seems like that is the best way to go. If I do is there any particular order in what I should do first whether its TT to Amp or Amp to TT, I will be...
Simon I had a Vitus SCD/025 as well as an Allnic H7000 Phono Stage But I traded them in for the Preos and the Vitus RS101 Power Amp, the only things I don’t like on the Preos are the digital inputs are all Spdif and no Balanced Inputs its unbalanced ones.
Hi all another Tidal owner here with the Preos D and will soon be upgrading my Vitus RS101 to the newer smaller Tidal Intra and a pair of Amea’s. The only reason I’ve went for the Amea’s is that they’re going upstairs so trying to get any bigger speakers up there isn’t the easiest. In fact...
I used to have the Allnic H7000 paired with my AMG V12 Viella which did sound fantastic but I have also heard good things about the cheaper Allnic phono stages which I am sure would compare well with the Gold Note or PS Audio although I haven't heard them myself.
Just saw the Uk price for the Reclocker and £2249 isn’t a bad price at all and added to the £1900 or whatever for the Mark iii it’s only a couple of hundred pounds dearer than the Mark II SE but with much better sound.
Hi Marc
At the minute I am in the process of upgrading my streaming but I’m also conscious of cost and seeing what is or isn’t affordable and practical, I’ve moved from all Tellurium Q Silver Diamond Cables to a full loom of Sablon cables XLR, RCA’s, Speakers And Ethernet, powercords to come...
I have already had the Ethernet cable burning in for a few weeks and bought some XLR's, RCA Bocchino's and a pair of Speaker Cables too. The total for all those is still cheaper than the cost for the cheapest Tara Labs Speaker cable and by a few hundred pounds too
I've been told from one dealer that my next set of cables should be from Tara Labs but the cheapest interconnect at £1900 and speaker cables at £3900 as they are the best he has ever heard and no doubt it might not even be the cheapest he asks me to try and buy, I will actually get to try Mark's...
Just wondering if anyone has seen or heard any of the new 109 or 107 lines from Silbatone, there’s supposedly a new JL 107 Integrated which I have read from someone at Mono & Stereo although I could be wrong calling it a real giant killer price for it is £15995 in the Uk.
