  1. On the webpage of Dela-audio you can find Upgrade session, you better contact them to ask. So far I set "spanning " mode instead of RAID (Linn forum), replaced the stock SATA cables by silver cablemod as well as Oyaide EMI caps tweaked, huge improvement on the sound!
  2. Thanks Chris for the news. However, according to Hugo 2 - Chord Electronics and the image in your post, coaxial input is " Coaxial via 3.5mm Jack", not a typical Rca. Is it difficult for digital streaming via coaxial to the Hugo2?
  3. Hi, IMO, a good(audiophile) ethernet cable will improve the sound when it is hooked to end point of the network e.g network player/Dac. Sorry for my limited knowledge about networking but it is the result after our test of different ethernet cables: normal one, Audioquest Forest, Melco C1ae, Nordost Blue heaven/Hiemdal 2. We used Melco N1A, PChiend, NUC as a direct streamer (no NAS, no router) to PS PW + bridge 1. Appropriate if someone can explain because it is out of our knowledge? thank you.
  4. Many thanks for the pics. I wish I could see inside, really curious about the analog section and PSU. Hope it comes with toroidal transformers
  5. No, I meant playing CD in K05X sounds always better than feeding its USB DAC by computer source. I have tried K05, Wadia 361i, Audio Aero,all the same result.
  6. Sorry to jump in but logical or not for your question? Esoteric is not crazy to release a product that kill their another product in the same range. K05x is a spinning machine, the USB DAC in K05x is just an extra function that many CDP manufacturers currently add in. Of course, the DAC section can not reproduce a better sound than CD section. Obviously, N05 aims to computer audio and playing hirez files from computer/NAS should be an advantage over the K05x. Cheers, KienDo
  7. I tried it not as a conveter but a transport, external HDD --->Oppo 105d--->coaxial of Chord Qute HD, it sounded very good comparing with Mnet & PC as transport.
  8. Do you mean you want to compare Ethernet with USB at end point (USB DAC vs network player)? I've tried Bridge II in PS Audio Perfect Wave, not Direct Stream DAC. The SQ its way is MUCH MUCH better than USB. PS Audio has their own reason to sell Bridge II separately, dont they?
  9. I have a DELA N1A ( a Japanese version of MELCO N1A) hook to Marantz N8005 via both ethernet and USB port. The ethernet connection easily surpassed USB, especially with "direct mode". I also tried ethernet to Oppo 105d and had the same result comparing with USB. So far the only connection I use is Ethernet. cheers, Kien Do
  10. Try Wavetouchaudio Grand Teton Gen 2 and you never disappoint. I've been using a pair for one and a half year, will upgrade to SE soon. The speakers are amplifier friendly and support from manufacturer is quite okay.
