    Thank you all (@GSOphile @NekoAudio and @owen lawlor ) for your detailled feedback, really appreciated. Yesterday I could demo the new S3 and compare with the A5. All in a quiet and pleasant listening atmospehre (acoustically very good room). I could listen to my own selection of tracks. First...

    S3 MK3 (2023) Arrived

    Currently I have Magicos S3 Mk2 on SPODs in a well treated room. I am tempted to upgrade to the S3 2023. I will visit a dealer, where I can compare the S3 2023 with an A5. Because it's not possible to compare the S3 Mk2 vs the new S3 in the same room, it would be interesting to know how...

    New Weiss DAC 501 / 502

    Thank you very much! I misunderstood this part of the user interface. As you say, this explains it all: " For your settings you thus can select "Left" first, set the parameters, then select "Right" (in the same band) and set the parameters. Done." Best, Urs (aka Townes)

    New Weiss DAC 501 / 502

    Ok, I'll do my best to describe my use-case... be warned, it's rather complex ;-) I have two pairs of speakers and two headphones in my room. My left ear is not as good as my right one. But I am 67 and can't complain. While for speakers the difference between the two ears does not disturb me...

    New Weiss DAC 501 / 502

    I am a Weiss customer since many, many years. Daniel has always been very helpful and kind. For the DSP501 issues described in the post above, I wrote several mails during the last two months.

    New Weiss DAC 501 / 502

    Thanks very much for validation/confirmation! My understanding is that you have a DAC (501 Mk2) while I have a DSP (501). The latest firmware for the DSP is v2.61.1 r3113. It's interesting to learn that also the firmware for the DAC has the same unexpected behaviour as the firmware for the...

    New Weiss DAC 501 / 502

    I am using a Weiss signal processor (DSP501), but I have some troubles with its software. Here comes my question: If you are using either a DAC50x or a DSP50x could you do me a favour and check the following (e.g. by using the web interface): - select the DSP "Room EQ" - set "Band 1" to: Type =...

    Pass Labs XP-32

    Thank you very much for this information, Peter. This means with a digital source we are using pretty much the same range. That's a relief for me ;-) I was afraid something would be wrong, when I hardly heard any sound at Volumes like 30, re-checked all cables and switches for the third time...

    Pass Labs XP-32

    I received my XP32 and am just starting to let it burn in. My question to other XP32 owners is about the volume setting. Depending on the album my volume settings are somewhere between 100 and 120. Is this within the range others are also using, or am I far off? If it's late in the evening, I...

    Volume Control for: Preamp Output Module with isolated XLR Analog Output

    Thanks for your answer. I cannot look at the menu tree, because I don't own a MSB (yet). I am just evaluating. I would really like to have this independently (one output like an old fashioned "tape out"). I could not find any documentation how the Volume behaves, e.g. If I switch the unit off...

    Volume Control for: Preamp Output Module with isolated XLR Analog Output

    Hello Would I be able to do this (MSB Reference equipped with a Preamp Output Module and with an isolated XLR Analog Output): XLR Out 1: Adjusting the volume using the volume knob (power amp & speakers) XLR Out 2: bypassing the volume (going into a headphone amp (BHSE) and Stax headphones)
