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.

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...

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...

Thanks so much. but u said wifi connection has isolation, do you mean i actually can skip plugging the pc and mac into router? I can get a good result by using wifi?

Do I need to concern the way of my connections? Currently my pc and mac are connected to the same router through Wifi. PC is the roon server and the mac is running the HQ player. The musics processed by the HQ player in my mac will be sent to the Holo Red. The Holo red is connected to the same...

at least for oor, dont know other amp

i have repeated testing balanced and se. Balanced is far more superior.

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...

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.

Thanks~!

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.

Exactly, HQplayer DSD is now my standard. Roon DSD is okay, but it still falls quite behind HQplayer.

After using the HQplayer to conver all PCM to DSD before feeding the Cyan 2, I simply CANNOT listen to PCM again.

Thanks, so I will compare the sound of RCA and XLR again by connecting to either RCA or XLR at a time, not both together.

I have a stupid question. I have connected both the rca and xlr output of cyan2 to my ferrum oor most of the time i switch the oor to xlr and i found the xlr sounds better but occasionally i switch the oor to rca and listen the rca output of the cyan 2 Is it ok to do so? Is it ok to connect...

Hs300 fits the cyan 2 perfectly

ok my set-up is really completed

As I am currently not at home, I can only rely on my memory to recall the details. From what I remember, using "sinc-" filters causes significant lag, while "poly-" filters work quite well. And, I am unable to use the "ASDM7EC SUPER 512＋FS" and can only use the "light" version and the ASDM7EC v3...

I am using the holo audio cyan 2. I also love using a few ASDM7EC modulators at DSD256. However, with my Mac, I am unable to utilize all of the modulators and filters. Only certain modulators and filters are capable of playing music smoothly without any lag. Furthermore, I am interested in...

I have been using HQplayer with my M1 Mac Mini for a month now. While I am able to perform DSD256 conversions, I have been unable to achieve DSD512. As a result, I am contemplating the purchase of a powerful PC solely for the purpose of carrying out DSD512 conversions. However, I am faced with...

it seems susvara is a popular option but I really don't like the brand and it seems susvara is too neutral? Maybe zmf caldera is a better choice to me and I will also consider the elite.
