Been on hiatus for awhile but trying to clear out some excess baggage to make room and pay for more tuberolling. I won two Manfrotto camera bags from photo competition so these are brand new and sealed from Manfrotto. Manfrotto Stile Camera Should Bag Bella IV Black for DSLR - it will fit a...

focus peaking is available on the EVF - I don't really use the LCD I dont think minimum focus distance changes/or is any different on the A7 - that's just the optics of the lenses but you've got the benefit of magnification to really finetune your focus but no it wont be DSLR auto focus with the...

Well if its a fast moving subject - keeper rate would go down. The peak focusing would speed things up but I prefer EVF and using the magnified view - you can custom the keys and its relatively quick (keeper rate is very high other than photographer errors being me). That being said it might not...

It becomes an expensive hobby Dan - I've started legacy glass on 5N and went to the A7. There is just one problem with what you are trying to do - the A7 does not work well with wide (wider than say 35mm/28mm) M-mount lens and may experience magenta shift (I've never had a Leica lens but...

can't seem to find info on the net - do DSD files have to be in dsf or does vortexbox handle ISO?

I've put up a Peachtree Dac iT with upgraded Linear Power Supply (TeraLink) that's highly rated by Stereophile for less than a third of your budget http://www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/showthread.php?t=139883

Thanks for the feedback linnfomaniac83! Hope you like the new cables

Hi there - think what you're after is the Bulgin adapter. Not sure they can sell these legally given they are not longer up to spec but you may be able to find them on eBay. On a slightly off-topic note, I have a pair of Jones -> RCA plugs available for Quad IIs - bought them in anticipation of...

yes uk-based in london!

thanks scott - been looking at this for a while and discussing with lennyw - how much cheaper is the mastering? I think the only difference is that the mastering takes SPDIF input and the preamp takes analog - not sure which route I'll go eventually....

Hi there - does the price apply for Pre-amp or the Mastering version (same price for the Black with LED/Silver no LED)? Thanks!

where are you based? would be interested if in UK

I am just about to jump on the bandwagon for the Amanero - what DIY DAC board would you guys recommend with little assembly? I'm okay with soldering but wouldnt say I'm an expert. Looking for something that is wife friendly and grounded/isolated. Would love a solution where the Amanero (USB...
