    Ferrum OOR - headphone amplifier with a soul ?

    Has anyone tried connecting OOR with a ground box, like the kojo crystal E? I am not sure but I think the ground box should connect to one of the RCA of OOR.

    HQPlayer Impressions and Settings Rolling Thread

    I have spent a week comparing different filters for the SDM of pop musics. It was initially a frustrating process due to the vast number of filters available. However, I managed to narrow it down to around 10 recommended filters for pop music and some filters that I wanna try. I compared each...

    Is it a good idea to use a "portable power station" to power up my equipment?

    Current situation: Connecting a streamer, a DAC, a Headphone amp to an ISOL-8 Powerline Power Strip. Problem: Sometimes the sound is really good, but sometimes I can clearly hear some noise at the background. It really frutrates me. Hypothesis: After conducting research, I believe the most...

    Focal Utopia General Discussion

    I ended up buying a Caldera because it is the only planar that I am attracted to after trying. After using both the Caldera and Utopia for a few days, my conclusion is as follows: 1. For vocals, Utopia is far superior. Using Caldera for vocals is not as satisfying. I stopped using the Caldera...

    HQPlayer Impressions and Settings Rolling Thread

    When I tried to do so last night, I just realized that my 0.75m usb cable is more than enough to connect my Red with Cyan 2 but it is too short to connect my mac with the Cyan 2. I need to move the mac later.

    Ok, let me try connecting the Cyan 2 and my mac directly and see whether I can hear any difference in sound.

    You mean connecting the Cyan 2 to a computer directly? No need to use Red in between?

    But there is no button for switching inputs on the Cyan 2, so you have to more attention when changing inputs. Additionally, the Cyan 2 only runs in NOS mode. However, I don't have a problem with these issues since I only feed the Cyan 2 from a single input (Holo Red) and I only use the NOS mode...

    Why not Holo Cyan 2? It is much smaller and cheaper than Spring or May. I don't know how much better the Spring and May are (seems not very much), but I really enjoy the Cyan 2. Using HQP together with the Cyan 2 makes for a very affordable combo, both in terms of size and price.

    Holo Audio Red Streamer

    I used to use Roon + HQplayer to feed musics to Red via LAN. So is there any other softwares that can send bit perfect musics to Red via LAN? I don't want to connect my mac to Red via USB.
