    ZMF Pendant by Ampsandsound; impressions, tube-rolling, and general discussions

    There is a whole thread dedicated to the Reserve. It was the flavor of the month a few months back

    ZMF Pendant by Ampsandsound; impressions, tube-rolling, and general discussions

    Same. I felt the it wasn’t doing the Caldera justice and they are certainly less power hungry than a Sus I don’t think it will drive the Tungsten or Sash Tre either. Bigger Ben would be suitable for all three.

    Beautiful set. Can confirm the Walnut AC is “snappier” & “airier” as I own a Marblecake Walnut AC. This set is going to make someone very happy GLWS!!!

    It’s a bug, it will be fixed in a future update. This is the workaround until then

    Change DSP pipelines to 8

    Plenty of DACs only support 44.1 kHz (it’s cheaper to manufacture that way as you have to have a separate pathway for 48 kHz so it cuts down on components etc)

    If your DAC supports it check adaptive output rate and 48 kHz so you stay within the rate family which will be less resource intensive

    Thank you Justin, this is very helpful. One question for you, what would you consider optimal input voltage on an amp that has the step up transformer like the Agartha?

    Give Sinc-MGa if you haven’t already (Gauss version of Sinc-M)

    Could have been the IPv6 if you made that change as well. I just tested setting the input/output field to both NAA at the same time and @bogi is correct, this shouldn't cause an issue.

    You're welcome, good news is it's working now, and plenty of knowledgeable people here to help you troubleshoot if something breaks. Now you can tweak it as much or little as you like. Have fun trying the different filters and modulators / dithers. You asked earlier about filter recommendations...

    I had a feeling that might be the culprit. Basically there was a conflict in the settings since you had NAA set as both input and output device initially. IIRC I made the same mistake when I initially set up my NAA

    NAA should be hardwired, I was never able to get it an NAA to work reliably over WiFi even at lower rates. Someone smarter than me can chime in here but I believe it has something to do with latency.

    Which filter(s)? If its Sinc-MGa there was a recent update to that filter and its now more processor intensive Try @bogi evergreen suggestions here (specifically setting DSP pipeline to 8 may yield better results)...

    On the input tab. Backend should be none (this could be causing a conflict) Try regular NAA on output tab (not IPv6) Set buffer time to default on output tab Adaptive rate should be checked on output tab What DAC are you using? If it’s 48K compatible check that box as well. Also need to know...

    Don't let that stop you. I usually go all black but ended up with a deal on a silver one and it looks fine next to my Holo May KTE

    What happens when you check "adaptive output rate"

    Cen.Grand 9i-906 "Silver Fox"

    I have been listening exclusively to my Silver Fox with my Atrium Closed for weeks now (the rest of my audio gear is packed up for the move). I haven't even turned on a tube amp in over a month. Although I still can't quite put into words what I am hearing from this amp (I can but I am afraid...

    Incredible solid state. This is true end game territory (it honestly makes me wonder daily if I even need a tube amp any longer)

    Endgame is a myth Besides Pontus and Pendant are gateway drugs (I owned both at one point)

    I sold my V550 Pro and GS-X MK2 both HPAs had exceptional preamp capabilities. Now I’ve got a Silver Fox to compliment my Agartha and couldn’t be happier (even if I lost preamp functionality it’s the best SS I’ve heard esp with ZMF dynamics)

    Check with @asaprod I think he owned one at one point. Can’t remember who bought it from him but I’m sure it would be an improvement with the Mogwai SE 2. Justin recommends a pre-amp with his amps (and I’m sure it would be the ideal pairing). I stopped using a pre-amp since the Agartha has a...
