Interesting set indeed. $999 is the price bracket where nice tribrid sets are also available (or even at a cheaper price), such as monarch DTE900 or used MEST / prestige LTD. Very temped by this release and would like to see more impressions from you and others. Thanks for your impression!

Does anyone use 2pin cables with 0.75mm pins instead of 0.78? I bought a cable that is with 0.78mm pins and it was too tight to fit in my Monarch socket and almost impossible to remove. Wonder if 0.75mm one works better.

I was interested in this fuse, I am using Aucharm's red fuse and happy with 2 of those working in my DAC and DDC. Has anyone compared the Aucharm's oil fuse and SR purple fuse?

🤮

thanks for sharing your insight! I agree to your point. It seems that your DAC is already upgraded internally. It actually somehow changed my perspective as I originally thought that the expensive gear deserves a cable upgrade, but it might be that the gear that asks for higher $ is well...

sorry if this was covered well in the past. But what are your experiences about power cable? I have only replaced the one for my DAC (as it was the most expensive portion in my chain), but wonder if it's worth doing the same for amp, DDC or even power strip. Which component of your audio chain...

I am using 9003 xlr and it is easy recommendation as the SQ at the price is pretty impressive.

Nice collection! Wondering what is the better option between LTD and Crimson. I heard that Symphonium audio flagships like Helios and Crimson have the best treble performance in the price range and LTD is also good in that aspect. And both of them are having a good soundstaging and resolution...

n is related with the purity of material used, so higher n number product uses purer silver. I bought their 5n usb cable and very happy with the quality of build and sound. They recently made a 6n cable as well but 5n one has a lower AWG value, which means that the 5n product uses more core...

it is definitely a + as an amp that provides two different sound options. What I anticipate the most from s17 pro is its highly praised soundstage. Reading your impression about the sound reminds me of what R2R dacs provide. Wonder if pairing s17pro with R2R dac will be a great synergy or making...

Wanted to read more sound impressions and comparisons to other higher priced class A amps (by the users here not by the reviewers) but temperature control became the major issue for discussion. 😅 Still very interested in this amp thought if I am not gonna stretch my budget to something like...

Nothing can be more transparent than your standalone A6. Almost invisible level SINAD. R2R dacs usually have a low SINAD so it will be too opaque and not obeying your belief.

Didnt know that aliexpress has audioquest knockoffs. Are those comparable to the audioquest products?

Thats why i think that the streamer with reasonable price will be a super hit. Other available options are too expensive. I saw a review that dac section of A8 is as good as gustard a26. I think that a8 is a real great option for anyone who is considering buying under 2k dac. As the great...

I agree that A8 is a great package so i would have bought it if i hadnt already bought x26pro dac. But for many who already own external dac, dedicated streamer can be a very tempting product as well and i believe it wont be so difficult for eversolo to make that option possible. I admit 500$...
