How is this ghey card more complex or harder to develop than a 4080 to demand such a price? https://jcat.eu/product/usb-card-xe/ Jan 17, 2024

    Not defending it but the 4080 has major economies of scale. Otherwise there’s basically no reason why a DAC should ever cost more than than a motherboard, let alone a computer

    I had completely forgotten about this lane of audiophilia. Thier "femto SSD" takes the cake as far as I am concerned though.

    They do not have a configurator for cables on their website but they might be able to help you, made a custom phono cable for me: https://musikerkabelladen.de/epages/193bde29-123f-4693-bdf8-aa87781554bd.mobile/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/193bde29-123f-4693-bdf8-aa87781554bd/Categories

  Can the ZDS take 6SN7 despite different electrical properties to the 6SL7 (gain aside) or will it take damage?

    Yes, I did this by accident. Actually, mine was delivered with the lower gain tube (that I think was also an accidental mistake). I've since switched to the correct gain, so I only ran this way for about a year.

    I know its a different amp, but I use a 6SN7 instead of a 6SL7 in my A&S Mogwai all the time. Change was approved by Justin @ A&S and he indicated that the 2 tubes were essentially identical, except for the lower gain on the 6SN7.

    Craig replied and doesn't recommend it as it has twice the heater current. I hesitated messaging him as he's retired as far as I know but I wanted to be absolutely sure.

    I have gone ahead and ordered a couple of them and will be testing to see if they can be compatible at a lower power level so that a fan is not required.

  @schiit Is patching Unison for an UAC1/UAC2 autoswitch feature possible?
  
  Sep 20, 2023

    No UAC1 compatibility. This why they had to wait until Windows 8 was no longer supported to release Unison.

    The JAR mod takes out all the congestion and cleans up the space. And again, it's very dark but not mushy or muffled or rolled off in the sense of hiding something. It's full of high resolve, detailed, the beautiful timbre.

    MJ2 was phased out in part because of the large form factor. Gungnir has the same form factor. I think that's what accelerated the Gungnir speculation recently..

    Dark Seoul xD well put!! Got that reference.
    Actually I do have a 800 mod I made for myself. But it’s way too simple so I haven’t really published it. It just tones down the sharpness and ups the bass a tiny bit without compromising soundstage.
