    Stillpoints Aperture Acoustic Panels

    Thank you. My boom I beleive is due to the speaker proximity to the front wall which I can't do much about. Hoping that adding panels such as these first to the rear wall can assist.

    Stillpoints Aperture Acoustic Panels

    It's been a couple of years since the last updates here and nearly ten since the original flurry of posts. Any feedback from recent aperture owners? Any further comment on how they perform in the lower registers or even better has anyone been able to run any rew measurements with and without...

    Antipodes 22K or AqualinQ?

    I would suggest the K22 - it can double as a server and player should you need/want to replace the nuc or have it offline for a period plus the K22 will allow you to run different clients (roon, upnp, etc) without having to buy additional modules to make it work. I use a Antipodes k30 as...

    Antipodes 22K or AqualinQ?

    How are you connecting the nuc to the discrete at the moment?

    Anyone older in age eventually go from their beloved speakers to headphones instead? Please share!

    The euforia is a great match with the Verite Open and focal utopia. I can't comment on how it pairs with the atrium closed, one Im yet to hear. As you say there's lots of tubes that can be rolled and even more if you're willing to play with adaptors. If you can find the euforia ae second hand...

    Possibly Misunderstood Wilson Tune Tot

    Everything seems positive when it comes to the tots but I was wondering if anyone had any comments how they performed on the iso bases on a desk rather than on stands in a listening space? Im pondering a set to be used primarily on the desk but have cables long enough that they can be moved to...

    Shunyata Grounding System

    Thankyou Yes I can confirm there is continuity between the chassis screws on the power supply and the ground lug in the iec. My understanding is the power supplies should be chassis grounded whereas the DAC unit itself should be signal grounded when and if I get a second altira. But not sure...

    Shunyata Grounding System

    Would anyone have any suggestions on where to chassis ground a MSB discrete? This may apply to anything with an external LPS. Should I be looking to chassis ground the power supplies or the dac itself? My guess is the power supplies as the dac doesnt accept the mains power

    The new MSB Pro USB interface

    I reached out to msb a fortnight ago to confirm what the recent firmware addressed and this pop when changing between was the only item on the list. Update to the latest firmware and it will.be resolved

    The Discrete DAC – Firmware Update

    I plugged my msb into the PC and did the update via foobar rather than fluff around uploading the file into roon via the antipodes.

    iFi Audio iPower Elite PSU - The Official Thread

    Thankyou for sharing that. Is there a switch between the gateway and the k30 or any access points? I'm planning out some network changes and trying to move away from or segment out a Poe switch. Thankyou

    Aqua La Scala MKII Optologic Dac Owner Testimonial

    Are there any chance any current or past la scala owners have heard/compared the la scala with the msb discrete? I had the la scala on loan for a while and loved it but bought a discrete as it came up at a silly price. There was a bit of time in between with no music and Ive always been curious...

    Sutherland Phono Stages

    Silly Q but could anyone explain how sutherland trans-impedance (Tz Vibe) deals with loading or rather the expected suggest loading of the cartridge (in my case 400 Ohms) when its showing a load of zero Ohms?

    Aqua LinQ

    The only issue I ever had with the Linq w HQcore was if I was playing content greater than what the outputs/inputs on the Linq/Formula supported then it would look as though it was playing (and roon was indeed playing to Hqplayer on the Linq) but no sound was coming out as we were working above...

    Aqua LinQ

    You are correct. My response was in regards to someone looking to get rid of their Mac meaning which was running roon core
  19. B

    Aqua LinQ

    If you are willing to give up on roon you could look at a linq with the upnp module and stream directly from your mobile or desktop.
  20. B

    Aqua LinQ

    If you want to use roon you will still need the Mac mini or something to run the roon server. The linq with hqcore/hqplayer is only a roon endpoint.

    Shunyata Grounding System

    Altira acquired... Plan is to go straight to the alpha cables because I'd rather not buy something twice. Until then is there any suggestions on what wire to use as temporary ground wires? Thankyou

    MSB Select Digital Director and Westminster Lab upgrade dc cables : The throne of MSB Select DAC secured!

    Does this mean your cables are suitable/ready for sale to be used with the discrete? I had enquired a few months ago and was informed they were for the premier only. Thankyou

    FYI - Wellfloat - a "Game Changer in Mechanical Vibration Management"

    How have you found the wellfloat? Did you end up ordering the bigger model? I'm considering a couple for source and amp but unsure if they will be suitable for the later or if revopods are still king for the amp.

    Ron’s New System

    Hi Ron, Having owned the Baltic 3 for some time do you have any initial thoughts on how the upgrade to the Baltic 4 (and the new engine) has changed the dac's sonics? Thankyou

    LampizatOr Baltic 3

    Out of curiosity has anyone moved from a Holo may to a Baltic or the other way around? I'm curious to hear about any similarities or differences to the music as well as the noise floor (especially on 240v models). Thankyou

    Generalized comments on a selection of dacs

    Hi all I'm wondering if anyone who has had ears on any of the below dac's could share any general comments about the sound ideally in comparison to one of the others on the list. I'm not in a position to be able to demo at home so having to buy blind for some of these. Aqua formula Aqua la...

    Shunyata Grounding System

    My take away from this is I should be using the Altaira documents to work out the correct grounding method and test out star grounding items back to my Denali prior to committing to the Altaira - is this a fair take away and if so what cable should I be looking at to do this? Thankyou
