My 2019 Update Thread - My final system I think.

A completely different sounding Dac now,
Seriously Impressive.
wow.

Long burn in time for these Transformers, so expecting the usual highs and lows.
Been listening to music through the telly for the last few weeks, so I'll survive.

The external Farad power supply feeds the Dac's analogue output board, and just upgraded the output transformers on it, so D/A conversion is maxed out.

Old and the new Transformers




Tech spec wise, these are MUCH better, but more importantly they are the exact ones the Dac's designer Ted Smith wanted for the Dacs initial release, but BOM costs knocked that back.

The one's I upgraded to are the same as the ones being used in the MKII version of the Directstream,
Nice to hear, speaks to their quality.

That's Digital done aside PS Audio's new 'Airlens' streamer when it comes out.

Enjoyed playing vinyl when my Dac was away,
but its an ex demo cart that's fitted to the P10 whilst my own is back at Rega HQ getting rebuilt.
Right now the Digital is sounding better than my P10.


Back to the music...
