My 2019 Update Thread - My final system I think.

[Gazjam]

Might worth trying one of these with the Red streamer. I used one into another streamer sometime back and it made a noticeable difference.

Interesting product, and timely too.

Ive recently changed Broadband companies and had copper Ethernet removed and Fibre to the Home installed.
My network audio improved, which set me thinking about losing Ethernet all together and using a Fibre Network setup.

Thats been on hold for a while with other stuff to do, but with the new Dac/streamer setup I’ll look into it again.
Definitely worth doing, not too expensive and if it eliminates more noise n stuff that’s always good.

The filter you linked to James is very interesting, I'll do some reading up on it.
Could be just the ticket, and a lot simpler to implement.

cheers.

Trying one of these at the minute Gaz-

Am in Rhodes for the week, have left it running whilst I'm away so it'll have a good few hours on when I get back (Just received it the day before we left). 60 day return policy so if I don't feel it's an improvement it'll be going back.

Looks a nice bit of kit Ali.

Look fwd to hearing what you think of it when your back.

Was looking at the spec on that DAC on Audioholics, Gary.

It's insane.

Bring it here immediately, wanna hear it.

Can it beat my Firebottle modded Lampizator with Western Electric VT-25 valves in it?

I wonder...

My DAC will lie, but the spec on that thing sez it shouldn't.

It's all a fix. It's all pretend. Government is not your friend.

[Gazjam]

Yeah,
this thing is insanely over engineered, the numbers are nuts.
Don’t really care about measurements though, if it sounds good it sounds good.

Only one way to find out Justin...
Apparently takes a LONG time to burn in properly so would give it time before I "put it out there"

[User211]

Don't be embarrassed.

Massive smile.

It's all a fix. It's all pretend. Government is not your friend.

[Gazjam]

You been on the piss mate?

It's certainly solidly made. Yeah will let you know how it goes.

[User211]

You been on the piss mate?

Nope.

Was just saying don't be shy

In all honesty I don't expect you to turn up with it. Be interested to hear it, though.

So if you ever want to do so, PM me.

You will enjoy it and get to hear something that is pretty extraordinary, when it really boils down to it. You may not like what you hear, but it will make an impact, I will guarantee you that.

No idea where you are. Give me a region? Just curious.

It's all a fix. It's all pretend. Government is not your friend.

[Gazjam]

Ah, my bad.

Always enjoy hearing other folks gear, thanks for the invite J.
Im up in Glasgow, so a fair distance away though!
