pretty calm review..

Sound performance

Hey Bartók owners, where are you? 😱 I wonder when can we expect firmware 2.0 for Bartók , similar to Rossini 2.0? Technically it’s possible I think... Andrew from DCS also said that this is possible, but so far this is not in their plans. Good marketing and a sense of sweet hope for us 🙄

Please more details from here

Thanks! EL150 are also great, on their own)) Yes, I tried going directly using Canare XLR 3m IC. Much better than Debussy, but currently I still prefer sound with my ATC preamp. The sound with the ATC preamp is smoother and more analog, without loss of transparency, dynamics. It sounds better at low volume also. I will test more when I get a great and long balanced IC

del.

Rossini is more popular despite the higher price) How do you like your Bartók? I sold my dCS Debussy and Network Bridge and bought Bartók 1 month ago. Sounds good)

Fully agree. I tried to connect my old NB Bridge to Bartok using Siltech cables vs internal Bartok bridge. Bartok as all in one unit sounds better! Extra crutch not needed) Also I sold my NUC with Roon, because Mosaic sounds better. NUC was a second crutch) One thing I'm really looking forward to is EtherRegen by UpTone for optically isolate my audio network part from main network

Is it general topic about Bartok?

Hi @Superdad What is the best way to integrate etherRegen into my system? Now I have Asus router, it does not have SFP port. My music streamer is connected directly to the ASUS router via ethernet, the NAS is also connected to router. I can change my router to a router with SFP (e.g. Zyxel Keenetic Ultra) it's not a problem. Will I get improvements in such a scheme: my new router with SFP -> etherRegen's SFP -> etherRegen's isolated pure LAN port -> my music streamer? Or is an enough old router to connect an Ethernet cable to a etherRegen's dirty LAN and from pure LAN to a streamer? Where is the best way to connect the NAS? To router’ LAN or to etherRegen's dirty LAN port? thanks!

Thanks!

What latest firmware for M12? How to update M12 without send it to dealer?

Already done. My dCS network bridge has no problem with my roon setup, works as swisswatches))

Hello everyone Is M12 roon ready device? On the roon page I see that yes. But I can’t find M12 as networked device in roon (settings->audio) I use intel NUC with roon rock OS. dCS network Bridge (roon ready also) works fine with it. Please help, because mconnect app for DLNA is very ugly for me, also RAAT will be better. M12 has 1.06 firmware

Changed my Oyaide AR-910 to Siltech Golden Ridge G5 RCA - the difference is obvious. Siltech sound very appetizing Unfortunately I lost Dual AES mode and DSD128. Also added Canare BNC-BNC as W/C cable. Sound is more deep, wide and liquid with less grain. Definitely these changes are level up for my system)) Also I moved from external USB storage to NUC7i5BNH with Roon Rock installed. Most positive impressions ))
