Hi Peter,

this new release is great stuff
- more separation
- more darkness

I hear the CD's now from a different angle.

On the live tune "My Favorite Things" by Al Jarreau/Kathleen Battle (Album - Tenderness) I hear the singers on very different places for the first time.

This release 0.9z-7 is a must.

Joachim

Hi,

this discs makes wonder for € 1500,00 and you need nothing else. Looks weird on the walls and ceiling, BUT ........ .

Dear Mani,

You actually can't guess how close you are to my own thoughts where your good reason of all the work is only one relatively small part of it, and the other is a kind of "secret". But, you just gave me a nice opportunity to vent about it a little without saying what it really is about. But to summarize what I *can* express, it is about these things anyway :

That is a part of Peters reply to Manis proposal on June 15.

I have no problems to get an update for my two licenses for nothing.

This is a typical behavior all around Europe/World, trying to get real good products for ZERO EUROS, but for ZERO you will get no quality.

Joachim

P.S. - Another proposal:
a MINI Version
a Light Version and
a Premium Version

similar to AMARRA

Hi All,

we are all waiting for release 0.9z-7, and we are waiting, and waiting ..... .

My proposal.

A)
0.9z-7 will be released without the "Blue Tooth" manual for the tablet now.

B)
XXH with the "Blue Tooth" manual for the tablet, which still has to be finished and will take a while, shall be issue 2.0 and everybody has to pay an upgrade price. This upgrade price should be the same as for a new license.

best Joachim

Hi Georg,

that's it, real high class SQ/music and some stretching if I go to the keyboard/mouse.

Prices:
JRivers costs $ 50 with an superb GUI, and an update $20.
Amarra 2.4 now down to € 178,00 incl. VAT.

Title no 4 - MILESTONE -

I was very astonished to hear such a tune from Miles Davis.

Hi Peter,

put me on the list.

Joachim

Hi Mani,

interesting to read. I was just on the road to buy a silent PC.
So I owe you some buckets of beer.

The first day with the Entreq “Challenger” USB cable,

The difference of the  sound  to shelf cable was to hear immediately, finer timbre of all instruments (upright bass, horns and violins) and voices, more air between the instruments.
Reference records are:
“The Shelter In Your Arms” by Sammy Davis Jr.
 “Intermission Music” by Beady Belle ( the duet with Jamie Cullum is a highlight )
“Sunflower” by Wynton Marsalis (horns in heaven and thaat beat of the bass)
“Stolen Moment” by Gap Mangione

The Entreq USB cable is another step up the ladder and now I’m waiting for XXH release 0.9z-7

Hello Juan,

may I have some names/brands

Hi Juan,

the major deviation in the SQ in my system are coming from the power cables connected to the power amp. The sound between Nordost and NBS are two total different worlds.

Joachim

Hi Juan,

All cables by Entreq are manufactured with an earthing connection. My NOS 1 shows still great deviations with the DC values and Peters recommendation was "earthing" (the NOS1 is connected to the power amp).

From my experience cables influences the sound. I hear a total different sound with my components connected with Valhalla or NBS Monitor cables. (Entreq cables are superior to Valhalla and less expensive)

And therefore I'm quite sure that the new Entreq USB cable will improve the SQ of the NOS1 to a higher level.

Joachim

In short words, the USB cable delivered with the NOS 1 is hiding the full potential of the DAC.

I ordered a "Challenger" USB cable with a grounding connection from Entreq.com now and will report in two weeks.

I'm used to the sound of the "giveaway cable"  and will hear the difference instantly, and I bet ............... .

Joachim

See the file attached.

On my SYSTEM I hear no advantage with the dBPoweramp  "filtered" files.
The instruments are crystal clear to hear, but the reverberations of the room is missing. So it sounds dead and the emotions are gone. ON MY SYSTEM.
