    New Totaldac products in 2022 : D1-Twelve Mk3

    hi all Can I get some user input? I'm looking at the Totaldac D1 unity (with live power supply and dsd upgrades). I've never heard a Totaldac dac before and have no chance to demo one. My current dacs are Meitner MA3, Rockna Wavelight, and Rockna Wavedream Signature XLR edition. I have...

    FTA (Final Touch Audio) Callisto USB cable

    Thanks! I will check it out. On a side note, I ended up with two FTA callisto usb cables (sotm to Innuos Phoenix, and the phoenix to singxer su-6), and also the FTA ethernet cable for EtherRegen to sotm. Lovely combo. I recently purchased a sablon 2020 usb. Long story short, I like the FTA...

    FTA (Final Touch Audio) Callisto USB cable

    Thanks to @tipunch for giving me that nudge to place my order! I just received the Final Touch Audio Callisto usb cable yesterday. Spent the past few hours listening to music. For those who feel they've almost "completed" their system and looking to add that one last percent, this cable may...

    Media streamers choice.

    That's a good observation and I completely agree with this. Less meat on the bones, less dynamism.. I did find that using hqplayer upsampling to DSD with the EC filters did help to remedy the above, somewhat. But ultimately I still prefer pcm (up to around 384), thought 768 was OK, and didn't...

    FTA (Final Touch Audio) Callisto USB cable

    Looks like I'm gg to have to send Goran another pm.. Now my dilemma is.. I may need two of these cables. One from streamer to usb reclocker, and another from USB reclocker to ddc.. But thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!

    FTA (Final Touch Audio) Callisto USB cable

    Oh man that would be awesome! Looking forward to your impressions. That will most certainly be helpful (but probably not for my wallet).

    FTA (Final Touch Audio) Callisto USB cable

    To be honest, I haven't tried any config other than the one it was shipped in. Supposedly, that is the most favourable one (based on other users' input and the guys own testing/tastes). I also have not tried the grounding attachments and just leave them free floating.

    FTA (Final Touch Audio) Callisto USB cable

    I am also keen to hear comparisons on the Sablon vs FTA Callisto. I have a few usb cables, namely the Lush2, Mad Scientist Black Magic, and Triode Wire Labs Freedom. I just sold my Curious Evolved USB today. I'm using the Black Magic for SOtM sMS-200Ultra Neo to SOtM txusbultra, Lush2 from...

    Re-clockers....

    I am using the sotm txusbultra with mods. Has anyone compared the txusbultra with the (more expensive) innuos phoenix reclocker? There is a local dealer who has brand new sealed sets, but no demo unit in the shop, and also no home audition available..

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

    Does it matter which specific variant of the FINISAR fsp is used? For eg I see some with 2.125gbps data rate, others with 4gbps.
