    Network player - First War

    Yes, I understand. As digital analysis, all device should share same clock. When we use Aesebu or Spdif, Aurender and dac can share Rubidium clock. When used Usb, Dac will reclock it. Rubidium will affect to jitter noise only. Thanks for your nice point. I'll check it seriously at next time.

    Network player - First War

    It is very hard to answer. If I consider only this demo, Aurender was a hero, but my choice is Innuos. Because I already know how hard to handle the Rubidium. Some of guys had already challenged to Rubidium of SRS, Antelope, Esoteric with W20, it was too much sensitive by cabling and vibration...

    Melco S100 audiophile switch

    Right! Fiber is good idea for isolation, but makes thin and dry sound. Fiber - Switching to RJ45 - One more RJ45 - Player is the most popular and proved solution in Korea. I don’t know who found this solution. Maybe he is a genius. But he didn’t care the cost, place, and power strip. So I...

    Melco S100 audiophile switch

    I brought S100 1 week ago. There are many network solutions which reduce the hash dry of digital. But it is easy to lose details and micro dynamics. S100 also makes soft sound but it keeps detail and dynamic well. My dealer suggests dual switchs with optical connection which is proved at...

    I’m using Shunyata’s King Cobra CX for Aurender W20. It is higher grade than Anaconda. I compared it with Transparent Opus, Nordost Valhalla2, Siltech Rubyhill2, Kubala Elation, and several... None of them couldn’t replace it. It gives dynamic, live feeling at bass and soft high, those are...

    Absolare Integrated

    I'm still testing 12BH7. RCA's 12BH7 was also good eventhough it is not in same league with Ten&CM combi. But it made same symptom. After I use it 1-months, L-ch made a high freq. noise after heating. When I power on, it is ok for 1-hour, then I could hear the high freq. noise. Ten&CM was same...

    Audience AU24 SE-SX line of cables

    I've ever used AU24SE power and inter cables. Those had good bass punch, good high without hesitatio and well balance, but no texture. I think their cable was enough valuable, but from their old au24, au24se, au24sei, au24sx are using same cables, just connector has changed. I think it is better...

    I think your saying is something strange. I said old YG's was sharp and new YG's improved it better. It is just my feeling. If another man says nwe one is too smooth, no fun, .... it is just his feeling, I have no complain. But you are saying all negative feelings are caused by wrong...

    YG introduces Hailey 2 Series

    As your logic, we cannot say anything... There are so many solutions and tweaks in audio. $100 speaker would be better than $100k speaker as a setting.
