    CD player as a Transport?

    Some time ago I had an brief but interesting chat with head of sales for EmmLabs - regarding upgrades to the SACD player I own (for sale in classifieds). Mostly about firmware updates, but we also talked about the upgraded transport and feet. I was told a firmware update was available, but it...

    Is this the end of MQA?

    I have recently listened to some lossless content from David's hard drive... I preferred the sound of my streaming MQA files to those downloaded MP3s. 🤭 In David's defense, we both agreed the particular song sounded terrible. We wanted to blame the new Focal and FiiO amp/DAC, then quickly...

    FS - Media (CD/DVD/LP/Games) Audio research litzlink?

    Perhaps poorly attached print that came off over the years. How old are those? I'd expect them to be manufactured to external quality standards. Those should require embossing or print every set distance (min 1ft or 1m, depending on diameter). Is that true though? These are not for power...

    Fast Track a sale by Upping the Price?

    Late 90s, an ex-family member sold hand carved animals at a street market in PE. He had 2 tall giraffes on sale for R800ea. They did not move for months, so he upped the price to R4,000ea. Sold the same morning.

    Any Tequila Recommendations

    Agree, Don Julio tastes way better than what it should, at the price. I read the post way too fast on my tiny laptop screen (load-shed) - "put in freezer and enjoy camel toes"

    I just learnt the secret to unlocking my dacs performance

    Hey, firstly I must just say; a dodge 10year old laptop should not be able to sound this good! :love: Tidal Windows App - Cayin RU6 (dongle DAC) - RaptoGo Hook X (IEM) I tried Roon while using a Lindemann Lime Tree - their handling of Tidal was not good. Then I upgraded to a Lumin D2 - way way...

    I just learnt the secret to unlocking my dacs performance

    Found it, but it was kinda well hidden... Thanks @Drifter looks like the DAC is getting bits as Tidal intended, rather than the Windows set rate. Happy Days

    I just learnt the secret to unlocking my dacs performance

    Thanks @Drifter but for the life of me I cannot find that Settings screen options on my Windows Tidal app (nor on my mobile). This is all I see

    I just learnt the secret to unlocking my dacs performance

    Hello all, interesting topic for me, but plenty of the language went over my head. I was wondering if possible solutions have changed over the past 2 years, since this was last posted? I have Tidal on an old PC running Windows 10 Enterprise - USB to MQA capable DAC, but it is not sounding...

    FS - Headphones Lumous Audio Demo Equipment Sale!

    1000 Thank yous @Reshen - Ananda arrived a few hours after being collected by the Courier Guy. I was not very popular when I crawled into bed, early this morning. Guess I might be hunting for a (Ananda matching) reasonably good desktop Headphone Amp / DAC. First up, perhaps just a 4.4mm balanced...

    Shuoer S12 Planar IEM - Anyone got em?

    If nozzles in your ear canals are not for you, then you should let these S12 Pro's go. Very very capable IEM at a very good price - should sell fast.

    Shuoer S12 Planar IEM - Anyone got em?

    Thanks for this and also for comments from @ron g I also suspect upgraded source plays a bigger role then spending substantially more on the IEM's themselves (beyond a certain point).

    Shuoer S12 Planar IEM - Anyone got em?

    Hello, Really looking forward to that review, or did I miss it (elsewhere). Been listening to Let Shuoer S12Pro (a little light weight sound), 7hz Salnotes Dioko (physically too heavy for small ears), 7Hz Timeless (just plane fantastic) and recently, Raptogo Hook x (frightening at first, now my...

    Bitcoin Investment or Not

    Warren Buffet on Bitcoin I enjoyed this one - speaks more to productive assets vs buying something with value that depends on what someone else might pay you for in future.

    Durban Bunny Chows

    The Burner in Bellville makes a top notch bunny. Best I’ve enjoyed (locally), by a country mile. I lived in Durban for 10y - rate the Burner version as similar quality.

    Hidizs s9 Pro usb dac

    Love my FiiO BTR5. It has been relegated to the car though, adding BT connectivity to my 10yo Audi, playing Tidal offline content 44.1/16. For me the FiiO BTR5 is obviously in a different league to my Hilidac Atom Pro (for sale on AVF). However, if you want to treat yourself, chat to Lumous...
