Ekstatikon

Audirvana, on a dedicated 2012 Mac Mini (dual core i5) never ever used more than 3% of processor (while playing)

Dear users, first of all, sorry for my bad english. I need help to diagnose a problem, please. The outlets in my apartment have no grounding. I hired an electrician to build one fully dedicated grounded outlet to power my system while all other outlets remained as they were. I connect the grounded socket to a double-conversion sinusoidal Nobreak online and I connect it to a power amplifier and an SMPS Meanwell, which powers an Uptone LPS-1, which feeds a Singxer SU-1 interface. All other elements (DAC, Macbook) are battery powered. Everything is OK. Last night, I decided to do an experiment. I left only the power amplifier connected to the sinusoidal nobreak and transferred the Meanwell / Uptone LPS1 to the socket next door, to the phase shared with other apartment outlets without grounding, and ... Bummmmm! It burned a fuse of the amplifier. There was no major damage, I replaced the fuse and returned to the previous configuration. What happened here? Thank you.

I was torn between m2tech young and the Calyx dac. bad... bad decision.

"I disagree. I'm a mix and mastering engineer and use various plugins very often. It mostly depends on user ability. Most of the music we hear now has gone through various plugins which will all work with A+ as they all have AU versions." Ok, I have respect for their opinion and know how acquired in their job. However, in this "hobby", I trust only in unique witness: my ears.

basically these au plugins cause loss of sharpness.

$$$$$$ "I doubt A+ will do this..." why?

Thanks for the tip. I use (blue cat, flux, etc.), however the playback quality is severely affected on my system (m2tech young + palmer station+ woo ges + stax 007 mki).

when we will have a balance control in audirvana? This is absolutely necessary for me.

as Mac user i'll never buy any m2tech product again... NEVER!!! when yosemite was released the same happened.
