Out of interest how and when is one most likely to notice the high frequency distortion?

Well that’s interesting. Other than slight differences in frequency such as bass, mids and highs the op amp thing can end up more OCD than it needs to be in my experience. It also can make the situation worse when after experimentation you are left indecisive of which to leave in. An interesting...

Thanks Amir.

I had a 2023/4 model and no issues at all. If the item is new it will be already shipped with the latest firmware.

The 12.2 is probably my least EQed speaker.

Personally I am not budging from my Wharfedale Diamond 12.2s unless someone randomly throws £1100 through my window like a Spring Santa (the original Bishop version) which if that would be then though unlikely I maybe would consider a pair of Definitive Technology D11 speakers after hearing them...

Try downloading to a different location on your PC then open and give it go.

Ok, cool bit of info there, thanks. I have a Fiio R2R which I will experiment with later. Currently I am using the coaxial to the coaxial input on the Denon PMA900hne and the sound quality does not disappoint at all, both units have the ESS9018 chip.

It may have been a sub par piece in some way or another but honestly the difference in clarity was obvious on this occasion. I also don’t have access to multiple units so I was unable to compare. No complaints at all with my 900.

I have the 900 and had the 6007. I can tell you straight off the bat that the 900 is better. Sounds much cleaner. I bought the 6007 and returned it literally one day later and that was partnered with the PM6007 matching amp. The 900 is just a better machine sonically and looks better too. It’s a...

It’s very quiet.

I am currently running the Denon DCD-900NE into my Fiio R2R dac then into the Denon PM900HNE with excellent results. A more straightforward connection from the player to the amp via Coaxial is also very satisfactory indeed (ESS9018 x ESS9018-Player/CD) and I found nothing to complain about...

I am not sure if I could claim the heady understanding of being universally correct here as this is a subjective choice afterall but the SMPS works very well here for my Router over the LPS. It has greater clarity, quite the opposite of what I expected.

Ok then we have a ‘gentleman’s disagreement’ here. Rather than argue my point I am happy living with my ears and happy to choose what sounds best for those. I appreciate measurements like the anyone else and Amirs work in this field is very helpful as well as people objective opinion. I actually...

…via the the piece in the chain that the power supply is powering and the overall outcome at the end of the line. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water!

Wrong again ASR, just plain wrong again. You are getting a strong reputation online for just being plain wrong. I have 3 different power supply’s sat directly in front of me and can hear a difference between each one. Which I would prefer in a blind test is another story but there are clear...

I will keep it ear marked. I don’t know what the Virgin Hub 3 draws but just didn’t fancy risking my iFi Power X or an any other damage at this point. I have looked into it but info is scarce at the moment and I don’t have any instruments to prove anything or anyone’s suggestion. Thanks.

No one here at my address agrees, sorry. We find it very easy to differentiate between dacs, cables, amps, speakers etc. I am not asking anyone to trust me with their money. They can take my advice or leave at no cost and I would not expect anything less than anyone to get a second opinion or...
