I just realized I phrased this wrong lol, I meant to say that I got my APL in lol, it already came in. Had it warming up and set up, only getting to listening this morning, turned on for about a day now.
Since my FM stuff is delayed a bit (and no fucking clue when the clone will arrive), I’ve just plugged it usb into the antipodes (and associated things in front of that), rca into the ll1.1s (no way to test balanced at the moment, hopefully it’s equally good single ended). This was meant for the FM setup, but it will do fine here for now as well lol
Settings wise, it’s been set to convert all pcm to dsd512 (filter set to zero, although I don’t think this matters when converting to dsd, will change this up later), dac volume maxed (although I’ll likely get tired of dealing with the lamms and start using dac volume later on lol). Not really much more to it.
Quick note on tubes, it has them in there, and I have no desire to touch them or change them or whatever, and from my knowledge they are stock ECC99, I took off the little tube cover and can see no marking on them so donno what they are
So far I have 2 first thoughts:
-
This is what nagra should have been
-
Why the hell is nobody talking about this brand, like at all
