MHDT Labs: R-2R NOS Tube DACs
I ended up selling the Pagoda and keeping the Stockholm V2 because I thoroughly enjoyed the heavier influence of the MHDT house sound over the more transparent sounding Pagoda. The TDA1541 chip from my very first MHDT Paradisea was what introduced me into the world of R2R dacs, as well as non...- Soundsgoodtome

What Are You Listening To Right Now?
Can I just say that this thread was one of the many highlights of this forum. The amount of well recorded albums I've discovered paying attention to this thread for several years has added so much music to my collection. Not to mention the fun times scrolling looking at album art. Keep it running!- Soundsgoodtome

MHDT Labs: R-2R NOS Tube DACs
Nice to see this thread have traction until today, been a minute since checking into the Hi-Fi world. As for the Pagoda being bright, it is their most "detailed" DAC... this tend to make it their brightest offering - although compared to sigma delta dacs, it's still quite more pleasing to the...- Soundsgoodtome

MHDT Labs: R-2R NOS Tube DACs
Dang, good to see this thread still kicking. Glad everyone seem to be enjoying these guys' dacs more, except for that humming issue. Hope it gets solved out, did tube rolling work or maybe separating the dac from amp -- try plugging one of the two in a different wall circuit via extension cable.- Soundsgoodtome

AUDIO over IP - REDNET 3 & 16 Review. AES67 Sets A New Standard for Computer Audio
24/96 is plenty, although it's usually components along the way in the chain that benefit from higher freq rate - not the dac itself (at least modern dacs). This is quite apparent with usb connected units but maybe not so much with ethernet chains.- Soundsgoodtome

AUDIO over IP - REDNET 3 & 16 Review. AES67 Sets A New Standard for Computer Audio
@gefski , which unit are you using? Attero Tech? Are you capped at 24/96 or is it capable of outputting 24/192? ------ I wonder if using a converter degrades the signal/timing.- Soundsgoodtome

AUDIO over IP - REDNET 3 & 16 Review. AES67 Sets A New Standard for Computer Audio
We ran across this same issue with the YGGY, now I forget what solution we came up with way back when (this was back in 2016). I do know that to get it to work with @gefski 's Yggy we had to pass-through my Matrix Mini-i which had SPDIF coax out. I do know he eventually found the right transport...- Soundsgoodtome

Face Mask Free-giving by HIFIMAN
These masks, if used by the public, should be by those who are sick to prevent transmission. If used as a protection mask, you'll need this surgical mask to be worn over an N95 and reuse the N95 while discarding the surgical. This is the protocol for emergency responders as well as health...- Soundsgoodtome
