I use a sOTM SMS200 EVO before my DAC, It is supplied with a normal switching power supply.  It was upgraded first to an iFi iPower and then to a Croak LPS.  Each upgrade provided a positive improvement.  Definition/ Clarity.

Excuse the editing of your post that  I have quoted from, in order to highlight just one part, but I too tried that switch from Mr G, and immediately heard an improvement, I too paid him and kept it.  I always meant to post my positive experiences with that Switch here in order to promote it...

For the tone and feel more than technical ability and maybe all guitar parts, not just the solo, Neil Young on "Cortez The Killer", the version found on Decade. And following the same refrain ie tone, feel and subtlety, all guitar parts on "Bridge of sighs", the song, by Robin Trower on the...

Rick Beato 260 Million views of his about 400 YouTube Videos, something like 2 million+ subscribers, Masters degree in Music, plays guitar, bass, cello, keys etc. Approx 30 odd years in the music industry as musician, song writer, producer. I think he is the perfect example of how to...

NO In shook I was saying yesterday to the better half, need to contact Mr G, need some cables, was planning to call today and then saw this. A really Great man has left this stage, cannot stress that enough.

Hein Gavengha at Sound Structures,  give him a shout 076646 2405, he builds bespoke if needed.

VA gear Top Notch That new look, sorry not for me, the heat sinks I mean But to each his own, everyone has a different opinion

Theta at the time were totally open that they used the Oppo 83 as their transport for the Compli Blu, it was not hidden, was clearly disclosed in the Compli manual.  They detailed then what they did to enhance or improve and left it up to you as to whether the premium was worth it or not.  They...

if I may comment, that's not the only rationale for all in one systems.  The all in one coupled with DSP in the digital domain allows optimisation of every step in the chain by the designers and engineers that results in a listening experience that is in excess of the sum of the individual...

R 50K .. I would get an all in one like Kef LS50W version 2 as an example, or similar, but you cant tweak and change components etc if you go the all in one, cannot swap power amp, cannot swap pre amp later. So its a different approach ie you dont have the fun later of swapping components...

Not to get involved in something I know little about, but re SA Junky and the shield or unshielded ethernet cables debate and the potential negative effects on galvanic isolation by going the shielded route. That is something that has cropped up extensively on other audio forums and I am not...

You should wait for ken Masters to chime in on this But my 10 cents worth.  if you are talking LG OLED or Samsung QLED you have to look at the top of the range QLEDs from Samsung not the lower rungs.  The Samsung 2019 QLEDs ie the R series you needed to look at Q80R or Q90R to get something...

Many comments here about great service from Homemation, just to say that I have had great service from HFX as a Bowers owner. And under this new "arrangement" HFX remain a Bowers and Wilkins dealer they just are no longer the distro/ importer.

Re this extracted from a great post and great read "Teddy Pardo lps for the Nuc" I have always believed that an LPS is best utilised on the end point rather than the core and as we have switches and lengths of copper ethernet cabling between the NUC core and the end point, an lps on the core...

Have been a Roon user for close to 3 years now and with connected Tidal SA subscription, Jay Z and his rap recommendations do not appear in Tidal for me anymore, as per the OP above.  Its a Fallacy that Tidal is rap and forced it down your throat. Roon 1.8, very nice update, happy with the...

Was scheduled to attend Pearl Jam at the Hyde Park British Summer Time  (BST) festival July 2020 but we know what happened to that. Pearl jam still on the list and they scheduled for 2021 Hyde Park BST festival but I doubt South Africans will be able to travel to the UK June and have a feeling...

I also did the same NUC8i7BEH and installed ROCK followed the guide supplied on the Roon website, didn't even refer to YouTube videos. Really is painless.

I use this DAC as an alternative DAC, and love the thing.  Roon, Tidal, the key though is a USB to SPDIF converter.  So your USB cable from source into the USB side of the to SPDIF converter and then an SPDIF cable into the Theta.  Look for a Schiit Eitr for example which is what I use (goes for...

From what I have read it seems Sony processor has edge when it comes to motion and the current LG processor when it comes to brightness. Don't believe you will go wrong with either brand if in the market for OLED.  There is Panasonic as well in the OLED space and available in RSA, or they were...
