    Massif Audio Design racks incoming, and......

    Thank you for the thoughtful response, appreciated. Would seem our climates are pretty similar, if not identical.

    Massif Audio Design racks incoming, and......

    Coming a little late on this, but the racks look fantastic. I'm also in the same line of thinking with supplementing the components with their own isolation, similar to Mikes implementation. I've been on the hunt for a new rack as well and prefer the wood designs, but a question WRT temp and...

    Cheap and effective tweak

    Not that I'm aware of, but it's sort of Impossible to know unless any said noise is removed. Short of proper cbl dressing + routing that's all one can do generally speaking. My question was specific to rex comments on in wall radiating to items close by. Sure draining everything at the...

    Near Or Far Field Listening For This Room?

    I wouldn't think that bulkhead will be of much detriment (you should line it with pink fluffy or OC 703 before it gets sealed up). You have an enclosed rectangle, so it should be very predictable generally speaking. The only way you'll find out what you like, will be experimenting - a lot when...

    Cheap and effective tweak

    Interesting, is there any info on what possible implications power lines in wall play on all the cabling behind rack as well as long cable runs when rack is on side wall (30ft + run along baseboards to mono's etc..)

    Robert Harleys 'listening room

    I too am a bit confused somewhat to the criticism. Robert had full design authority for a dedicated enclosed space (not a "shared" space) and he made it to his own spec (acoustically, aesthetically). To say that it is a missed opportunity is pretty subjective and a bit much I'd say. I'd also...

    Lampizator announcement: launch of our all new TOTL HORIZON DAC

    "and have what appears to be of exceptional quality" Don't read so much into it. It was just a general question. How do you know they are not good quality? ML commented above on his positive experience with the advancements in the component he uses. I would think if Lampi or anyone else...

    Lampizator announcement: launch of our all new TOTL HORIZON DAC

    More of a general comment - curious as to why Lampi hasn't designed their own usb board/interface at this point? Not to say its easy and it does require time and resources, but you have total control (for the most part). Several products like msb, shiit, holo come to mind who recently...

    Trying the ZR Acoustics Panels

    So compared to traditional acoustics, that would equate to roughly six 4'x2' panels (broadband, diffusion etc.) - just as a SQft comparison or $1k per 4'x2'. The low + sub freq are always the most difficult to manage and takes quite a bit of "material" or product, mainly in the form of taps...

    Trying the ZR Acoustics Panels

    According to these examples, which would align with what I think a typical listening room size would need and not a "small square office", looks to be about $15k and up?

    Denafrips product owners please fall in

    Maybe, but really just wanting to understand a bit more of the architecture for the sake on knowledge and wether my orig question has any real merit etc.. . The TPlus looks to be a great piece of kit and just looking at some viable options.

    Denafrips product owners please fall in

    @Golum + @bonzo75 - Not sure why that's why I was asking - I thought or was under the impression that some or most R2R don't do DSD natively? Some like Lampi, T&A have separate circuits (well the "chipless" versions) et al. Maybe certain R2R's handle it differently like Yggy vs TPlus. Again...

    Denafrips product owners please fall in

    So is the T or TPlus not for someone with a lot of native DSD as well as a PCM > DSD via HQP type of user? It would seem the R2R architecture is really suited for redbook libraries? Coming from the Lampi world this would be a much different product - not better or worse, just different.

    Cable Modems

    The gigafoil does seem interesting, but again I don't stream (by choice, use local lib, 2 server with Roon and HQP). I may look into it. I did have an ER, but I only noticed an improvement when using copper > I tested it with my fiber setup and then ran a 50' cat6 to my listening room as a...

    Cable Modems

    Yep, all my network gear, NAS is in a rack in utility room (along with servers) and I run fiber from a manged switch to dedicated listening room. Gotta have UPS for network gear, NAS etc.. I know there are some UPS's that use modified sign wave v.s. pure sign wave. I'll probably try out the P3...

    Cable Modems

    Gotcha. My modem and router spec out at about 2A each and the P3 says "Dual output provide 3A for each " so that tells me it should be plenty for 2 devices running at 2A - I could be wrong though. I don't stream (by choice, local library) and my network rack in utility room has a UPS the...

    Cable Modems

    I'm not much of an EE, can you explain a bit more on this? I'm genuinely curious because I'm wanting to power at least 2 maybe 3 devices in my network rack.

    Dedicated audio room build thread aka The Big Dig

    Serioulsy an epic room and build. Even for the truly dedicated room builds, not many like this anywhere. How fun this must be, congrats. Cant wait to see how the rest of the journey goes.

    Cable Modems

    Just to clarify - the SB8200 spec says 12v/2A (which the 2A refers "peak" if I'm not mistaken) so wouldn't the keces P3 be more than adequate? Also if one wanted to power 2 devices say a router and modem (both with 2A ratings or less) would the dual output P3 (12v/3A + 12V/3A) be a good choice...

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    The TRP line is interesting, but I'm somewhat confused in the direction of this engine and or Lampi in general. Lampi from early on seemed to be focused on the DSD signature and is what Lukasz favored and designed many of the products around. The use of HQP and upsampling PCM to DSD came to...

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    It seems like a lot is changing with Lampi. It used to be the big 7/GG "chipless" from a few years ago was "it"? Then the r2r with the auto/included DSD function came and by all accounts was great but still had mixed reaction - many still preferred the separate 512 DSD engine? Can anyone...

    Amanero now supporting native DSD In Linux

    Yeah I kind of figured that after the fact, oops :) I know the Lampi crowd (me included) using HQP/NAA will be happy to hear this. I asked the admin to append "Linux" to the description.

    Amanero now supporting native DSD In Linux

    Not sure if this is old/new news or applicable, but I know I am wanting native DSD for use with HQP / Lampi http://www.amanero.com/drivers/nativeDSD.txt To enable/disable native DSD on Combo384 an USB Control request must be sent to endpoint 0. This procedure is supported on all firmware...
