    Boulder 1160

    Hi, as I wrote in the thread ``1110 & 1160'', tonight I found an update available for 1160 amplifier.

    1110 & 1160

    I connected my 1160 to the network tonight, and found an update available. It is now at version 1.03. The installation took about 15 minutes, but I have no idea what changed this update. P.S. The error message I wrote above (# 107), has not been resolved. Now I don't even hope anymore...

    Audionet Scientist Series: Humboldt Integrated vs Stern and Heisenberg Separates : Having Your Cake and Eating it Too?

    Hi, I was doing some research about Acqua LinQ and came across your comment. Using almost exclusively local files from a NAS, do you mean a LinQ is not indicated? What limits are there? I had read that Aqua had added a module that allowed LinQ to be used as a pure streamer as well. I ask why I...

    A new star in 2019 : Innuos Statement Server

    Strange that there are no photos on the net showing the interior and the differences between the two versions. Evidently Innuos prefer to let curiosity boil.

    Aqua LinQ

    Eventually, having to order it new, I could request with inside the module that serves to make it work as an independent streamer, or am I wrong? Maybe I should speak to the producer.

    Aqua LinQ

    Hi, I have a probably trivial question, but I would like to be sure about this: can LinQ be used as a pure streamer? I mean connected to the home network in which there is a NAS with a large library, without other objects such as NUC, which I see that some have put upstream of the Aqua LinQ. I...

    Sitting Taiko SGM extreme with Wadax Atlantis Server

    Hi ShawnZH, i take this opportunity to ask you a question: in your opinion, can an Auralic G2.1 directly into my Bricasti M1se dac be a great match? Or do you think I can get a lot more with more expensive alternatives like Innuos Statement or Aurender N10? Thank you Roberto

    1110 & 1160

    Ciao, non è un obbligo, ma connesso alla rete, puoi modificare parametri come la polarità dei connettori bilanciati (Pin 2 Hot / Pin 3 Hot) da remoto, puoi agire su tante funzioni con la tastiera del PC e dare un nome a ad ogni ingresso, si può leggere la temperatura dell'amplificatore di...

    1110 & 1160

    I had exchanged a few emails with Steve Huntley, explained the problem they hadn't noticed yet, and the conclusion was that there might be a probable bug in the Boulder Net software. Which they should have solved later, but I have not had any more news and the operation has remained so. There is...

    New to the forum: high end music server with Roon Core and 3 x dedicated linear power supplies

    I was curious to see the inside of the 432EVO Master server, but there are only those of the power supply, on the net, also on the official website. Is there a reason for this? How did you evaluate The Statement and N10 in relation to the 432 EVO? Roberto

    Ciao Marco, visto che sei Italiano, è inutile che triboli a scrivere in Inglese :) Ogni tanto guardo in rete qualche alternativa per i tavolini, mi piacciono ad esempio gli Harmonic Resolution Systems, oppure i Bassocontinuo, i Finite Elemente, i Taoc; ma poi, ogni volta che poi guardo i...

    An Unexpected Champion : Intona Ultimate USB Cable

    I had read something here in the forum, and I also entered to Sablon site, but, due to the fact that my English is not excellent, I did not quite understand what I had to consult; in fact I saw a Panatela model, but I did not find any 2020 model (among other things, I did not see any photo of...

    An Unexpected Champion : Intona Ultimate USB Cable

    Question: a simpler PREMIUM grade (here in Italy it costs € 379.00 per 1 meter), is it equally recommended, or with smaller of the three models do you miss all the great requirements of the top of the range? In other words: in its price class an Intona Premium remains an excellent purchase, or...

    A new star in 2019 : Innuos Statement Server

    This is a good thing ...especially if it allows a good alternative to Roon. ''ROON LIMITATIONS WITHIN INNUOS SERVERS innuOS Servers currently use Intel Quad-Core CPUs which are powerful enough for music server duties whilst maintaining the system fanless and limiting the amount of power-noise...

    A new star in 2019 : Innuos Statement Server

    I was wondering why Innuos wasn't on the long list of Roon partners, and then I found this: https://community.roonlabs.com/t/about-the-innuos-category/76636 I was thinking about buying a Statement, but I must say that the possible limitation as Roon Core, could be a brake. Are there any real...

    1110 & 1160

    My thoughts about 1110 are those I wrote in the post #103. Compared to listening with dac/pre only, I confirm a great sense of rhythm, impressive speed, great breadth and better distinction of the individual instruments. In short, the pleasure of listening has grown. It may be that the merit of...

    1110 & 1160

    About the error message, in the end it's probably a BoulderNet bug. I will wait for the update when they are solved.

    1110 & 1160

    Coming back to this topic, I can say that with my system I entered in 1110 preamp from a Bricasti M1 set to 0db (maximum volume) and connected in balanced mode, then within about 3.5 / 4 volts, consequently approaching the maximum volume of 1110, I probably have an excessively high gain. Add to...

    1110 & 1160

    I spoke this morning with the distributor, I also sent him the photos with the errors. He will write directly to the technician in Boulder (he told me another name I don't remember), and he will send me back directly. Among other things, I must say that the last 10 times I tried to turn on the...

    1110 & 1160

    Yes, I sent a message with the same photo to the Boulder Amplifiers, Inc. Facebook page. Let's see tomorrow when they read it ... It could be, sometimes has appeared RightPos, other LeftPos, and most of them do not show any message. The system sounds normally. Certainly it is the connection to...

    1110 & 1160

    PMC BB5 can play without distortion at very high volumes, I also played a song Funk that pushes a lot. But what I would like to understand, is that it means this error message that comes up sometimes while I turn on the two Boulders...

    1110 & 1160

    And here are the first problems: I noticed this error message during power up ... It seems to me that it also came out as LeftPos. But it only appears sometimes and only when the couple is turned on ...and after a few seconds it disappears. Perhaps best to keep everything disconnected from the...

    1110 & 1160

    Yes, the two Boulders communicate with each other, now if I turn off or turn on 1110, 1160 does the same. Among other things, this morning I noticed that there was an update available for 1160, I did the update and now it has changed from 1.00 to 1.01 version. I must also confess that I made...

    1110 & 1160

    Now they are also connected to the network ... I did not understand if they also talk to each other (1110/1160), and if it is preferable to leave always them connected or not.

    1110 & 1160

    I add that when I tried the Convergent SL1 preamp months ago, in the end I preferred to stay with the only dac/pre Bricasti. So I think that every situation has to be evaluated individually, and you can't say better with the preamp or better with just a dac: it depends on which amplifier, from...

    1110 & 1160

    I removed the 1110 from the box Wednesday morning and I connected it still cold, I tried to alternate listening of a single song with and without preamp, and initially I didn't ascend huge differences. Towards evening, after a few hours of listening, I began to perceive a "fatter" sound...
