That sounds interesting but do you you have any clips to substantiate your claims Germanchu. Its a belief system free zone here :0)

Buy at least 2 of the biggest Intel 320s you can find on ebay.

Klyde for me, it was one of my favourite cartridges along with the basik

Kaos insisted that I posted some clips today, so better obey the cat... First two tinker board, last one Hakai. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-6s26GHP/0/19c5055e/1280/i-6s26GHP-1280.mp4 https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-shxZJWG/0/fe156178/1280/i-shxZJWG-1280.mp4 https://photos.smugmug.com/ph...

On initial listening I preferred clip 2 to 1 immediately, when I got to clip 3 I couldn't say clip 3 was better than clip 2.. I find the guitar sings more in clip 2..so I'd have to go with 2. I wish I didn't know what I was listening to though

I think the emotional connection we have is just us positively responding to the best kit we have. I'm sure if Thomas was stuck in a log cabin for a year he would very quickly connect emotionally to his kitchen radio if that was all he had. I'm pretty sure if Thomas were stuck in a log cabin for a ...

What did you learn RTM?

I think you are overestimating the level of so called high end hifi Charlie .Compared to live music there's not much difference between good hifi and bad hifi. Personally I think its our experiences in life that determines how much we enjoy music. If a dealer dropped off what I would describe as my ...

Second one sounds miles ahead

I thought you said silver with digital, maybe it was someone else, think I'll try blacks with Hakai

I take it you're using Linn silvers with CD player Beck :0)

Easily clip 1 for me

clip 2 for me

Hi Ron. Thanks for your elaborate reply! The AT95e was bought about 3-4 years ago. I believe I’ve put around 20-25 hours on it (holidays). The vm95c didn’t get anywhere near the 18 hours so i need to give it more time to settle. I installed it, played a lot of music and fiddled with the screw torqu...

That's very interesting, does it come with a 2 year warranty?

Is that the new Kanri? ;-)

Brix would do that

I have one of each.

That's fine, pile them on!

I was wondering how many Hakai streamers there are out there in the world !?. Well I've got one so that's 1 . Anyone else?

Clip A was the Tinker Board S with Volumio playing from the on board SSD. As I prepared it for play part of me hoped it would sound terrible but it didn't. In my view it's pure luck that the board sounds good despite being compromised by the on board SSD and the micro USB power supply. In the next ...

I used a Tinker Board S, flashed it with Volumio not the Primo. Clip B was the Hakai.

Wow!..I hope I am wrong and TB is better than Hakai

Two clips from months ago (Volumio days). One of the two players is a Hakai. Both used the ESI Gigaport DAC. Preference?

Currently using Snakeoil as the OS for my NAS - Snakeoil and minimserver are maybe a little better than Win7 and Asset UPnP. At any rate, I've no desire to revert! Does anybody have the command line instructions to install Asset and then start on bootup? That way I can compare minimserver and Asset...
