It's interesting you say that. One of the first notable impressions I had of the Holo DAC was that it had an awful lot more weight and sounded warmer. I used EQ to get it back to where I liked it and it sounded largely the same. I concluded it was because now the signal wasn't exclusively within...

Are you allowed to copy it over without risking upset from the author?

He’s been waiting 8 months for his noise analyser and it’s still not arrived. That must be well annoying.

Yeah I totally agree. The risk is minor but it is an attack vector, especially with uPNP enabled which is probably the typical case. Edit. Crikey I just visited the roon forums. It seems like people on the internet are at their happiest when they are furious about something.

I added my port manually too. Upnp is too risky for me to allow on my router so it’s disabled. I went into Roon > settings > roon arc and took a note of the port number then added that to the port forwarding part of my router along with the IP apt the core - my port was a different to 55000 btw...

Yeah that always connected requirement is a draw back. Why they did that I’m not sure? I wouldn’t like for the internet to go down and not be able to play music.

It’s pretty neat. I’m always wondering what I played recently with Roon and now I can find out easily and then play it.

I will avoid buying anything associated with John Westlake so that’s another company I didn’t know had an association to avoid.

I had no idea vinylengine existed until now! My old man wanted to say thanks. He’s handing it over to a chap that will be able to reverse engineer it, but I think it might be some time before he can get pics. He’ll come back with an answer for the power rails too. Looks like lots packed in...

That’s the fella! Small but mighty. I guess you are right - at least it was conclusive, this could have easily been a post and then tumbleweed, which it wasn’t, so that’s something.

Hey Geoff, thanks for giving it a go and also explaining why townshend seem unable to provide them! Ah what a bummer. I think Max sold my old man his first 600c, the one that created the initial fondness, in the early 80’s which I think he got as an ‘early’ or ‘pre release’ type. Given the...

Yeah he should rule it out if he hasn’t. Not heard back from him on that yet but knowing him I would be very surprised if he hadn’t already. He’s pretty nerdy, and thorough etc he’s the kind of person that reads every last bit of the manual.

It is possible, like Jez says above, there's always a rare occasion but its probably not that as the fault doesn't occur with other preamps and amps that have been included in trying to eliminate it. The old fella is very confident about where the source of the problem is, but the ease with...

I remember going through some steps to eliminate the amp. He has two, one a Cyrus with no fault and the other an MF SA80 that you helped out with (cheers mate!). Anyway the SA80 is the amp that hears and passes on the fault, so wanted to eliminate that - I don’t remember eliminating the speaker...

Thank you kindly, sir!
