Re: DS firmware - what is the lastest on the most musical one?

Did anyone try the new beta (http://products.linn.co.uk/VersionInfo/Downloads/Beta/4.56.173/)? Paulssurround on the L-forum pretends it is the best yet, but I will not risk to upgrade as I had problems last time to revert back to 4.53.125. To quote Paul: I am finding that sound quality on the new be...

Portable DAC

Good morning, as the sound of my mobile phone could be more musical, I wanted to add a portable DAC, in order to enjoy music while en route. Did someone compare the current DACs and can give me a recommendation? I just googled a few to see what is on the market, but have not tested them so far. Curr...

Re: JBL 3677

I am really interested in hearing a system with these speakers or even buying them directly following all your reports. But I hesitate as I do not want to ruin them, in doing all the modifications myself. Fredrik, are you selling them modified? Or is there another place where I could get a modified ...

Re: Small floorstanding speakers?

I always like the way Audio Physics play the tune, when listening to them at my dealer. http://www.audiophysic.de/tempo_plus/index_e.html is an excellent not too expensive little floorstanding speaker. Classic series might be interesting too, but I haven't heard them yet

Re: The sound of media servers (and of various formats)

I never did compare both servers under the same circumstances, but I was/am running Twonky on my backup-NAS (Netgear) and MinimServer on my "Music-NAS" (Qnap), all files are FLAC but I have MinimServer set to transcode everything to WAV24. This gives me clearly better results. But as I have stated a...

Re: ChrBea's system

In my system, the KDS/3 sounds much more "live". You can enjoy details, you usually only experience during a live concert. So far I really enjoy the upgrade. Even the price is OK, when you consider what you get in return. The weakest part of the system are probably the speakers now. JBL 3677 could p...

Re: DS firmware - what is the lastest on the most musical one?

Anyone tested the newer releases yet on how they compare to 53.125? When I got my KDS back from the factory, 54.135 was pre-installed. I updated to the latest beta 55.163 but would also like to compare to 53.125. Is it possible to get 53.125 for KlimaxDsMk4, as this is no longer on the releases nor ...

Re: ChrBea's system

First impression of KDS/3: I do not remember the switch from Majik DSM to Renew DS/0 being so massive as upgrading from KDS/1 to KDS/3. When I first got the Renew, I thought wow, what a difference in musical presentation. KDS/1 was better again, but not by that much. And now after listening to a few...

I use a Logitech Harmony for my AV/TV/Blu-Ray/...
I do not own an AV5103, but according to the website it is fully compatible.
Might be another solution.

Welcome hoolamonster, Linn amps are fine with the 140, I used them myself, but if you really want to enjoy those speakers, I highly recommend the Lejonklou Tundra (Stereo or 2x Mono depending on your budget). For the M140, I had the following upgrade route: 1) MDSM -- M140 [ok to start with, but not...
