Me too, and I wish Omega were open minded enough to consider the
possibility that his mind is involved in the hearing process. I think
he should give that theory a go before

What Stereo gear did you use during the test? External DAC ? and fixed
output in player setting, Stream Flac as Wave etc?
How many tracks did you test ? For how long did you test?, Had you
allready make up your mind?
What Speakers etc ?
After fairly extensive research, I also went with the lavry da10 for my

Although to be honest, I haven't done any significant A:B listening

Zanash - I'm quite interested in your mods. Which do you think made the
biggest difference? I use a stock X-DACv3+X-PSU but with homemade

I might try damping the case as a zero-cost tweak. After that, what are
the must-do changes?

Omega,
Yes I have digital volume fixed (and analogue volume at 63 - i.e.
off!), no auto gain and I stream FLAC (as I can hear NO difference
streaming WAV or FLAC). Digital o/op is coax into TACT RCS 2.2x (and
then Altmann JISCO+UPCI into MR X-DACv3 - all coax...)

Omega - try it with Preamp Volume Control = 63 (ie the analogue stages
are turned off) - does it still work?

Mats,
I listen to music in 2.1...5.1 is for DVD/HDTV only.
I don't think the TACT is doing anything much - but the Altmann devices
may be. If the problem is related to clocks/jitter...that is what the
Altmann devices address.

If you can hear the things i and Hammer65 do without the altman then
we know it´s jitter or clocks.
