Don’t get me wrong, the MiniDSP is not in any way limited by its DAC. (I only made the “tit for tat” remark because some folks get a bit ornery if you suggest one DAC sounds better than another, and I didnt want to derail this thread…) I will say that the MiniDSP SHD is probably the best piece...
I took this approach for a couple years when I had my Denon 3700H for HT. I used the Denon 3700H > ATI NCORE amp for HT and a MinidDSP SHD > Topping D90SE > ATI NCORE AMP for music. I was able to use the same amp/speakers by inserting a Goldpoint SW2X-I switch before the amp (2 XLR in/1 XLR...
I was contending with the same issue (digital clipping is what I'm assuming is happening) with my new Anthem AVM 70. It's been really discouraging. I tried streaming directly to the unit via Airplay, Allo Digione over COAX, and Pi2AES over COAX. Same issue regardless of endpoint/input. I...
As someone remarked earlier, I think one of the distinguishing features of this box is the (presumably high-quality) HDMI output that supports multichannel. This is of interest to me as an owner of the Anthem AVM 70, which, according to Amir’s review, has a cleaner HDMI input compared to COAX...
I replaced a pair of black Revel 208s with white Totem Towers—almost a complete 180 in terms of form factor and capability—in a fully bass managed, MiniDSP SHD setup. I can confirm that the measurements are disappointing. But what I can also attest to is the Totems tolerance for significant...
I have a Denafrips Ares II that's about a year old and in perfect condition. I have the original box, manual, etc. Asking $695.
I'm looking to replace it with a Topping D90SE/LE and would take a straight trade.
Thanks for your interest!

I’m working on a email to the regional sales manager. I’ll point him to this thread and hope for some sympathy regarding this ordeal. Someone asked for closeups of the bad cap after I removed it from the board. Here they are.
So I received the new capacitors from PartsExpress today.
Got these in today and replaced the bulging cap in the one mid/tweeter crossover. I'm very happy to report that this fixed the problem! Below you can see my new in-room measurements for each speaker matching pretty well across the...
I wondered that too, but it's securely glued on—at least it was until it inadvertently ripped off when I tried to remove the driver—and clearly not intended to be removed. That said, there is a little bit of a "lip" on the inside of that that seems to be what was keeping the driver from...
Yeh, I can’t find a 67uf anywhere online…
So I get the concept of summing the two 33uf + 1uf caps. But I’m having a hard time visualizing how I would wire them in parallel to the board, since the cap I’m replacing is bipolar. Can you help me out there?
