    My Experience with Pachanko Constellation Mini

    That update gave me more dynamics and better tonality. I happened to be listening to some classical music, first Beethoven and then L Bernstein and I was shocked a couple of times by crashing instrumental sounds.

    My Experience with Pachanko Constellation Mini

    Thank you. So now I access the Diretta. I looked around saw there were updates for Target and host. Should do these updates? (I wrote a chat message to PachankoLas first this may be of interest to other owners too so please forgive me for asking twice)

    So now I have used my Stellar power supply, Constellation mini and Diretta for a week. I am trying Roon for the first time in my life streaming from Qobuz and I also attached a usb disc with thosands of ripped cds. I am very happy with the sound of it through my Kii Three speakers.

    My Pachanko Server is here. A bargain at 16k Euros?!

    My Experience with Pachanko Constellation Mini

    Congratulations Tip Top, and thanks for posting. Are you still happy with the Pachanko? I am waiting for one that is being built to my order . And the power supplier and the Diretta. It will probably outperform my present streamer although I have not compared them A to B. Cheers Per
