The suggestion by kamikazi makes a whole lot of sense considering high-end brands 2nd hand may not perform as they did and apart from expected finding synergy the Maggie/Ncore/AresII could work quite well. Even substituting the DAC with a budget record player and phonostage could provide a base...

Some NUC have a header for panel mounted USB, as with some motherboards USB outputs can suffer from noise between front/rear that is not just power quality. This may not be only possible contributor, the cable, the USB chipset and whether digital isolators are not used are other factors. From...

The airplay 16/44.1 limitation seems to be problem, what is max sample-rate on upnp bridge config? The lack of hirez non-mqa TIDAL source may also contribute and 24bit samples that will be bit-depth reduced to 16bit.

Agaton Sax Oh I see, web suggests it is simply a 6SN7 in a 9-pin tube body. Sure those that know better would confirm. I see a lot of users opting for 7N7 tubes with socket converters to 6SN7 perhaps a converter socket could make any medium-mu double-triode work?

Agaton Sax Curious where is it needed/used?

Jozua_2019 Curious what amplifier was used in the audition with the LA Scala and Linton's?

Perhaps try rolling some tubes 1st?

Verbatim and others I am sure had, issue I had some cdrom wouldn't read them recorded.  Typically they were made for audio use and to resemble a small vinyl record. Actually wanted to buy more, please share the loot item link.

Listen to the Darko podcast with Bruno Putzeys around OEM and DIY modules of the current Purifi module and it will explain the pricing. A EVAL1/2 Purifi unit with an added power supply put in a chassis is all that is needed...

By high-end you mean hifi? What are the 4 offline devices? Andoid / IOS? They correspond to 5 slots on subscription/devices setting page?

Were you supplied with JJ 6SN7 tubes?

We await your initial findings..

Grrr The current version uses a fastenless chassis which probably means magic hands are needed to open it.

Your speaker cable may want to be further away from the transformer.

Correction was actually referring to Shunyata. https://youtu.be/MpAsUgv24jc https://youtu.be/Z6f1kwyZbM8 There is a recent interview with founder. Long but has some sensible thoughts and ideas. The device is used to determine current capability at any point and losses a particular cable...

Synergistic Research has created a measuing device that measures dynamic current capability of plugpoint and cable. The idea is to think of any cable and connection point that could limit dynamic current.  This is really important in putting current demanding components on your powerline...

RAAL SR1a? https://raalrequisite.com/product/sr1a-earfield-monitors/ https://raalrequisite.com/product/sr1a-jotunheim-package/ A schiit amplifier with SR1a is going to be a whole lot cheaper than any other high-end electrostatic or headphone amp with "hi-end" cans? I think this would provide...

I have one of these, using it in balanced mode with the 3-pin RCA-XLR cables is a must (performance better) and it can do full MQA unfold. Wheel selection for modes (interface) not great and it has not yet blown me away with its sonic performance. Even having dual ES9038Q2M, high quality clocks...

I know SAM is not roon correction, just wanted to know if it could increase performance to the extend appearing to "limiting" roon interaction. Perhaps only when ample movement is required the effect would be more pronounced. Ultimately just wanted a sense of the current system compared the...
