Thanks Pwatts, I use the unit as an audio transport. (Cd and DVD) Not too clued up on clocks, but I understand that my external dac will decode the data signal which will be dependent on the clock crystal in the DAC. Do you think that the clock crystal mod would affect disc reading and data...

Hi and thanks for helping me figure this out. I bought a used Rotel RDV1080 for use as a CD transport, the seller and I do not know where or by who it was modified. Looks like it has a second mini power supply board and an additional board. I can see a clock crystal, capacitors, resistors, a...

Thanks Chris, that's great to know! I've heard that a 50hz input may cause a hum in some equipment. Mine is also set to 50hz, no hum. Any experience using 60hz?

I don't think I have a problem with my mains, but am curious about the engineering and hope there are a few electrical engineers / AC experts who can shed light on this point. My assumption is that Eskom mains in JHB (Esp in our old suburb with wrecked transformers) may be noisy and / or...

Try Tidal through Audirvana, USB from PC to DAC, upsample to DSD512 from Audirvana or whatever your DAC can handle, lots of freedom to play with the software. Download Audirvana app and use phone as remote. Kind of a Tidal connect hack for normal computers. Have to pay for audirvana though...

Moved the speakers 30cm further away from the corner with significant subjective improvement thanks!

Yes, I bought an SMSL DL100 DAC from Dave. He keeps a small shop with a yoco paypoint in Blarigowrie, JHB, but is focused on online sales. Nice guy. I tested and bought mine in store.

Thanks for the guidance!

Thanks Brian, definitely a very large reflective surface. Any suggestions on how to minimize potential reflection?

Hi Ken, joking about the pillows and plush but genuinely looking for feedback on how to tackle these frequencies. The only measurement tool available to me is the Spectroid app and my phone. Speakers are Bentley acoustics RF200's (bass from 2 x 6-inch drivers, front ported) placed 36cm from the...

Experiencing bass reinforcement between 70 and 90hz in listening position. Really thought the giant angry bird would sort me out. Can anyone recommend more absorptive plush toys to absorb problem frequency range?

Drove to see it in IMAX. Surprisingly poor resolution on the big screen at Eastgate IMAX, but the sound was immense. Highly recommended. No review because no spoilers.
