The purpose of the “USB fixers” are multi purpose, but overall the objective is to clean the USB signal as best as possible PRIOR to it entering the DAC so that the DAC has to process and “clean” as little as possible to limit the amount of system resources and power draw as possible to provide...

Curious if it’s possible to upgrade the internal ICE digital amps inside the Spires powering the woofers? Seems like there are newer more powerful and better ICE amp modules available now vs. when the Spires were manufactured/ designed? Would I also need to address / upgrade power supply board...

You’re literally confusing what USB does within a computer or related application and trying to take that same information and apply it towards audio, it’s been proven over and over again that you can not rely upon computer or electronic engineering logic and technology and try and use the same...

First, Oppo uses a switching power supply, not a linear one, so from the start the USB cable going into your DAC from the Oppo is full of nothing but noise, jitter and both high and low frequency AC line leakage via the USB Cable. You’re actually much better off going directly from Ras Pi USB to...

You’re correct the WiFi is also a way for galvanic isolation, however it’s not a good method for going from streamer to DAC (I don’t believe it’s even possible to connect an external streamer/server to a DAC via WiFi unless it’s an all in one streamer DAC (like the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge)...

I’ll have to look into the Adnaco fiber to USB, no question fiber is “the” way to go in regards to not only galvanic isolation, but also to break noisy AC line leakage that typical enters into DAC via the USB cable from often polluted wall outlet from switching power supplies or light dimmers...

If you don’t believe in using a stand alone USB Galvanic isolation out of streamer, than going into a stand alone USB reclocker into your DAC (with good audiophile quality USB cables, that just means you’ve never tried this set up / “tweak” in your system, for $300-$500 plus cost of the cables...

Aurrender is outstanding!! The entry level N100 is very very good for the cost! (Around $2,300 USD). I have had mine for several years now and it sounds fantastic connected to my Mytek Brooklyn DAC + with an ifi iUSB 3.0 USB re-clocker in between (powered by an Uptone LPS 1.2 super capacitor...

I’ve had the same (similar) problem for years now with my Spires. When I called they didn’t offer me much more suggestions other than vacuum the panels, etc. Now I wonder what the cause may be? I never checked measurements with REW, wonder if I should try that? I’m pretty positive my issue is...

Before you do anything drastic, first try to unplug all power and cables and then plug all back in and make certain that you have strong / solid / tight connections from beginning to end of electricity and signal paths and also check to see if the little blue light “dot” is on in front of...

I’m glad to see that the forum is back and hope for it’s revival. Over the years I have learned a lot about ML’s and it’s contributed to my passion for them. Some of the other audio forums that I’m active in, have thriving “classified” sections that seem to bring a lot of activity to the sites...

New scripts - new subs coming too! A little birdie told me that new subs were coming too ( depth i and descent i replacements) , of course Vista discontinued and Vantage being discontinued too ( replacing with ethos and theos) The Electromotions sound great for what they are, but my plan...

Thank you for your input, very helpful! I was actually able to negotiate down to $300 for the pair, so I can not go wrong! The Encore's sound great with my Fresco i for home theater, but they lack something for music compared to my Dahlquist DQ's I was using before, so I am hopeful they will...

Hello everyone and thank you in advance for helping me with this question. I currently have a Fresco I as my center channel and I just bought two Encore TF's for my front L/R to replace Dahlquist DQ-12's that I have that I could not get to match tone with the Fresco (They are in perfect...

thanks for the input Tom: Thank you for your input! If I could find the Fresco i's at Best Buy and they were still on 50% of sale, I would get them instead. However I could not and they are now back to 995 each. The Fresco sounds great for a little speaker and it is perfect for home theater...

Would encore TF be good front R/L with a Fresco I Hello, I bought my first Martin Logan 1 month ago, a Fresco I that I am using as a center channel. I should have bought three of them when I had a chance, I got for 50% off since they are no longer going to be sold by best buy. However, I did...
