I really really wonder if this one will be competitive with the big boys or just a brand tax without 5k performance

Has an interesting industrial look. Are the tubes sideways?

Amplifier is not intended for continuous use for more than 8 hours.

?? Is that a thing? I always leave my amps on the whole day unless I’m out or sleeping.

I think I saw something similar with other tube gear but can’t recall what device it was. I am sure tube veterans can elaborate more about this.
I have hybrid amp and I turn it off when afk for longer period or sleeping.

It’s not common, I usually turn Tube gear on once a day, and off when I finish with it for the day.
SS for the most part I just leave on, with the exception of things like the Liquid Gold that gets uncomfortably hot.
I’ve never seen a manufacturer say you can’t leave gear on before, but it probably wouldn’t be a problem in this particular case with the way I’d likely use it.

Holy geez, i want that amp to be good just on looks alone.

I wonder what happens at 8 hours and 1 minute.

Ferrum’s DAC preview…

tfw no serius update

ha, yeah
might be a good thing for used g1 prices tho
who knows, that hp out may be the best thing ever :joy:

ah, I meant the serius DDC

Sonore ultraRendu has been updated to v1.3

1. Resigned USB circuit removing redundant components.
2. Updated clock buffer with significantly lower phase noise compared to previous design.
3. Lower impedance / better voltage regulation on the USB sub system.
4. Moved clock circuit to a new location away from other components.

DHC stuff. I love the look of the new eidolic and the chimera clips.

Odd duck kind of unit the case would never scale for high volume production and wold probably cost five times the cost of the amp itself… but it is beautiful.

I’d get it just for the case itself… the case is beautiful.

Looks not bad:

this came out about a month ago… Looks like an interesting refresh from the 2 to compete against Singxer and Gustard at that price point.

https://www.matrix-digi.com/product/82/X-SPDIF3

The new X-SPDIF3 USB digital audio interface allows your computer, tablet or mobile phone to easily output high-quality digital audio signal to peripheral digital audio devices, transmit in USB asynchronous mode, and achieve from USB input to Optical/Coaxial/AES/IIS-LVDS output interface conversion. Compared with the previous generation, the IIS-LVDS output isolation is added, which completely isolates the digital output from the ground wire of the USB end, and bids farewell to the annoying noise of the USB front end. In addition, it supports up to 32Bit/768kHz PCM signal and 1Bit/DSD512 signal output, achieving an excellent output quality from both PC and mobile devices.

With 2 femtosecond clocks from Accusilicon as the reference clock source to accurately restore the nature of music. Working for 44.1kHz and 48kHz and their multiples of sampling rate respectively, the FPGA automatically performs frequency division and switching control, it is powered by an independent ultra-low noise LDO. The clean power supply allows you to enjoy music without worries.
