    NHB-18NS Battery Question

    He does a Lithium battery upgrade and would likely ask me to send the unit to him. Too much of a hassle from my location.

    NHB-18NS Battery Question

    Its time to change the VRLA batteries on my Dartzeel Preamp and I'm wondering if its possible to change these to Lithium batteries of the same rating?? There are lithium batteries labelled as Drop in replacements for VRLA. Can these be used or should I just stick to the original VRLA type?

    Very sad to hear about Jonathan and my deepest condolences to his family. He was a thorough gentleman and was always willing to guide and help me through my audio journey. Will be missed.

    Thanks. Has anyone compared the 8mm with the 10mm cable? Is there a significant jump in SQ?

    Which BNC 50-ohm cable for NHB-108 and NHB-18NS interconnection

    My preamp is on a rack behind me and the power amp is in front between the speakers. They're about 20' apart and I have a 1.5" diameter conduit going under the floor between the 2. I'm wondering if I will be able to route a pair of the 10mm cables through.

    Is the 10mm cable stiff or is it reasonably flexible? Also, what is the retail price on these?

    Hi, Thank you for your reply and suggestions. How do I check the directional of the cables? The stock cable has no markings to show this. Or do I just do this by ear? Thanks.

    Emm labs DA2 v2 upgrade

    Hi, Is any one using an aftermarket optical cable (other than Aural Symphonics) between the NS1 and DA2V2? Are there any noticeable differences? Also, I'm using a NUC running Rock with my music library on a 8TB HDD connected to the internal Sata port of the NUC. Both NUC and NS1 are connected...

    Do Power Cords make a difference on the NHB-18NS Preamp?

    Hi, sending the pre back to Switzerland from my location is a royal PITA and hence I haven't considered it. Please do try it on your pre and let me know how it goes. Thanks.

    Do Power Cords make a difference on the NHB-18NS Preamp?

    Hi, Considering that the NHB-18NS is a Battery Powered preamp and in battery mode the AC power is disconnected from the unit, do power cords make a difference? They should not but I'm wondering if any one has tried with different cords. Thanks.

    Emm labs DA2 v2 upgrade

    Hi, I have tried with enabling/disabling the Mqa core decoder option. The signal path changes but no change on the DA2. Pretty certain its some setting somewhere. Will try everything again. Thanks.

    Emm labs DA2 v2 upgrade

    Roon shows the DAC is decoding mqa in the signal path but the DAC shows 352dxd or 384dxd (no mqa display). Hence I don't know if mqa is being fully unfolded or not. Have written to EMM.. hopefully will be sorted soon.

    Dac Suggestions for Dartzeel Pre/Power Combo

    Thanks.. Been hearing a lot of good things about the Merging Stack: Nadac + Clock + Power Supply. Does anyone have any experience with these? How does it compare to the other DAC's at this level?
