Maybe LED/Light is the secret to the sound of this powersupply! - who knows!? Atleast better cables could be improved

Who needs more than 12Khz anyway? - Let it decay ....headphones

THEY SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM ANYTHING AUDIOPHILE PLEASE! - iFi Audio! - I hope V2 will be proper! .,,,if they will ever make one

Feedback to iFi Audio Make a more audiophile/luxury version of this powersupply. Better, braided/sleeved cable. Remove the big light/LED and put the money into better cable. This SMPS is such an elegant sound on my Cisco CBS220 switch right now. I think this power supply goes well with FMC...

I agree. There are so many things I wanna add, but it feels like ruining a good movie by over-spoiling it. ACSS should be a discovery for people who wants to enjoy the whole Audio-gd experience. DI+R2R+ACSS+AMP Yes even though the hype are saying cheap ACSS can beat the more expensive XLR, I...

Very interesting. Based on Cirrus Logic? --- EDIT: Sorry it is TDA1541 based. Still interesting "The PCM56P's are teamed up with the CS8414 receiver chip in non-over-sampling mode. This limits the operation to 96Khz and precludes the use of an HDCD facility but then most NOS DAC's have a very...

@oqvist I really want to thank you for putting up this "challange" - I don´t want to spoil too much but R1N is noticeably different on XLR vs ACSS... R8H2 is also different, however not as R1N.

My whole perception of the R1N is based on ACSS with HE-9 LE......on headphones. Thanks to @oqvist challenging me with ACSS vs XLR. I realised R1N is close to completely another DAC on ACSS. I should have been a Audio-gd seller as much as I talk about the whole ecosystem. Please have the ACSS...

Are you buying the R1N with return policy?

What is important is that you like it. R8H2 is not cheap, but comparing: it is beyond my endgame/satisfaction(overwhelming) and the R1N is right on the sweetspot, gives me a different objective observation than before.....then the R8H2 is damn cheap!, when R1N needs the DI20HE to elevate up from...

call it just make-belief👍 I can take it. I wish it was. Read my post again and see if you understand what I mean without thinking of any sound measuring device… ----- EDIT: Now you know why yours sounds the same:wink: "Master 19 is a true balanced design applying the newest ACSS design which...

Your welcome😊👍 - Start with nothing(DAC only). Let it burn and shine for 400-600hours. This process will train your ears. It is very crucial imo. Learn every break-in. It is not waste of time. It is an training/investment to your ears. When you connect the U18 after 400hours your can register...

Mine also started to give me hope around 500-600 hours…and it was a return product

R1N very nice for headphone. DI20HE takes it to another level and equals my R8H2 to my preference. 1:1 R8H2 wins but DI20HE is really big improvement

RCA is atleast great as XLR. Sometimes maybe better. My preference. ACSS is different. This is for the listener who is beyond technicalities or resolution. “It feels like a different band playing” - It takes a different approach of listening. If one is not settled with their setup ACSS might...
