Raspberry pi and the delights of invisible media!

[MrB71]

From what Alan tells me, it requires a different voltage, the 1.2 uses the same Voltage as the Pi and DAC, requiring no extra messing about.

Personally, I'd cancel the order and buy the 1.2 version.

I know that's probably a ball ache but I'm just advising my opinion.

The LPSU took a couple of weeks this time, nearly a month last time so schedule for a month.

OK thanks.

I'm popping round Alans tomorrow so I'll mention it to him.

Haven't Allo just released version 1.3 of the Isolator board?

It is in stock on the Audiophonics web site ....https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/singl...s-p-13317.html

I do mean that one. Thanks!

Well, latest little upgrade to the digital side is a pair of new Ethernet cables.

I am not a great believer in ethernet cables making a lot of difference so imagine my surprise when these little beauties blew my socks off! A pair of 5m cables cost under £20, ridiculous.

Where does this madness end? LPSU on the router next??

Nice cable Oli, I have exactly the same. I think the Cat6a is same spec as Cat7?

No idea Jim!

I'm sure someone here will know.

Yes, I picked out your thread from a little while back and these seemed to be a good quality cable for super cheap money, just what I like

I don't know why they make a difference but they definitely do. Acoustic information is vastly improved. Its madness.

Already done that and I believe it made an improvement even though my engineering background tells me that’s impossible. Currently building a DCG3 preamp to see if improves on my Perreaux Eloquence 250i Anniversary . If it does I’ll be looking for a diy power amp project, possibly a Pass Labs F5. I think the DIY route is the way forward as it lets you try out lots of different options for very little money. When I think of the amount of money I’ve spent on this hobby over the years I wish I’d gone down the DIY route years ago.

Duronic cable is good stuff.

DIY is definitely the way to go. I 100% agree.

I'm blown away by what I've heard. Its absolutely madness.
