    I heard the Most 'Analog Sounding' DAC in my Life

    Alvin said burn it in for 7 days straight. Don't power down OK... I have it hooked up sorta convoluted to "burn in" ... Tuner --> PS Audio A/D converter/I2S out --> I2S in Pontus XLR out --> Preamp

    Power Cable Farce

    Dunno... That's why I added the smirk :cool: But aren't those (in picture) ferrite beads? I don't believe it'll hurt anything... Some retail cable companies use them

    Is there a high end audio Toslink cable?

    I've used many over the years... Some were loaners and were expensive I don't believe MOST people will hear a difference between an Amazon Basic vs AudioQuest Carbon (10x more $). Just me :idea:

    Just got the ifi Zen Stream

    Howdy I honestly do not know. I always thought it was Tune-In but maybe not. I will say ifi Stream takes a longtime (1min or more sometimes) to connect to internet radio stations unlike the CXN V2 & Node 130 CXN V2 & Node 130 are a snap

    :biggrin: However I'm glad I waited on ordering the Pontus... Alvin will be shipping this one with the new/latest FPGA Firmware which was just release in the past week. He confirm by email

    Question about RCA cables. NO, not sound quality.

    Sony XDR-F1HD

    OT Not one of the great ones but :D Before internet streaming I found the Sangean HD-20 adequate for HD Radio broadcasts

    Just got the ifi Zen Stream

    @audiobliss CXN V2 does not have USB out to external DAC... If that matters IMO-- The ifi Stream has a cleaner SQ when using both at just a streamer... Maybe I'm fooling myself :dunno: But I thought the same when comparing ifi to Node 130 All three are fine though On another matter... the...

    Just got the ifi Zen Stream

    15 months... :no: I do not think ifi software folks care for a better and more inclusive app Updates are sparse or nonexistent ifi probably has washed their hands of this and think "Pay for ROON"
