Your the lead engineer and designer, aren't you?

No, just enthusiast, investor, and the sales manager. They were fun days - but 23 years ago! Trying to remember the name of the ex-pat Kiwi, associated with Audio Artistry, who I visited in San Paulo(?) after CES to listen to his full open baffle system. Perhaps you can PM me?

I helped you carry that Plinius beast either from or to your car when we set up or at the end of show tear down!

Nostalgic or not, you should have remembered whether that was at set up or tear down !
hahaha

WOW

We can call this a small community, or we can call it a small world. I mean, I seriously some times think that I have the privilege of knowing about all the great audio guys in the world; there are way less of us than we might think ...

Thank you all,

Received my Intona yesterday afternoon. It adds another level of delicacy, detail and smoothness. It seems I am now able to really hear how good a bad recording can sound while, at the same time, I hear why that recording is bad compared to a terrific recording. So, like never before, my brain goes in two directions at once with mediocre to bad recordings!

In the last three weeks I've had a complete revolution occur in my listening room: W10+RAM-OS+Intona. Mind blowing. Thanks Peter.

MY Audio Pc didn't see my DAC(NAD M51) after connected Intona (industrail) in between. What happened?

First, My PC can recognized DAC. Song can be played. but after a minute, the sound stopped. Then PC didn't recognized my DAC.
I tried to restart, shutdown... but it still happened the same.
What should i do?

Hi Naidiver,

It happens to me from time to time Happy What I do is shut the dac OFF then turn it ON again.

Do not forget to remember that the Intona needs power to work, so no 5V cut from the PC...

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I don't think that shutting off/on etc. is the best idea to solve this. It may sound nasty, but best is to contact Daniel from Intona, tell him your DAC and maye PC/Motherboard and ask whether he has a solution for you.
Daniel is very much willing to help out and if it does not work, you can send back the unit.

In your case there will be timing issues and they depend on "heat". What I would do in this situation is
a. try longer or shorter USB cables;
b. exchange the two cables (move the one in front to behind and the other way around);
c. try to put the unit in more open air so it stays more cool.

Ad c.
It is not really getting hot at all, but the electronics at work may warm it up 1 degree C (or a little more) and now the nano-second timing just changes a little and the unit stops working.

I hope you can solve it !

I never thought that it will extremely hard to use and not a kind of plug and play ready with trouble free.

Ohhhh. I shouldn't buy it. Really shouldn't buy it.

For somebody who plan to buy it, i think you should search on the Googles for intona, problem. Which i didn't do it.

Naidiver,

I was the very first one who bought the Intona (serial number 00001). Mine exhibited the same as yours. I thought "oh well".
Then a few months later I learned that I should have told Daniel from Intona. So I did and next I got a new one and this worked. I told so on this forum and now ...
Well, now you can look at your serial number what I "caused".

You should not worry and you can always just give it back and don't want a new one (this is Intona rules, not mine).
But ...
Best would be to get it going, because it REALLY improves the sound a LOT. Especially for realism.

Regards,
Peter

PS: I (Phasure) have no affiliation with Intona whatsoever.

Hi Naidiver,

I also had some issues with the Intona, it connected without any problem to the NOS1, but not to another DAC I have.
Daniel responds very quickly to any issue you might have, and yes you can return the unit should you decide so.

Hereby a quote from an email Daniel responded to me:
"All USB devices should work but some non-professional customers reported that they need to add a hub before or after the isolator. You may return the unit if it does not work for you."

In the end I indeed put a USB hub in between and I don't have any issues any more. Not ideal, but it still improves the sound considerably.

Regards,
Diede

Thank you so much for all your kind comments. Actually i don't want to return it. Since i have listened to it even just a minute before it stoped working. I know how much it improve the sound.

Now i have to find out the way,anyway that make it works.
I mailed to Intona 2times and now 2days pass, he still don't reply me yet.

Do you have Daniel direct or personal email? It would help.
Or any other way that you did and then it worked, please leave your comment.
Thanks

Hi. Peter.
Daniel sent me a new one which I received last week. after a week of burning in period, it sounds awesome with no problem at all.
i tried it with my regular pc, the SQ was far better than before using it but it's not kind of magic which will change the regular pc to a High-end pc. i can still hear some noise.

but for my Audiophile pc,Intona made me can't live without it.
It's so quite with my audiophile pc and Brooklyn DAC. It is almost deep black background even with regular quality of 16/44.1 format of typical pop song.

Awesome...
Now it is a new must have of me.

Thanks Daniel for kindly support. ^^

I recently switched to a USB DAC that included an outboard power supply with its own regulated 5V rail and no longer need my Intona (Industrial Version). It's in "like new" condition, with the original box. It was easy to hear its effect with my previous DAC, which had a built-in PSU.

The price is USD $250, with free shipping to any USA address. Depending on the final package weight and service requested, shipping to most other countries is about $14-$29. Credit cards via my business's secure server are accepted, as well as PayPal.

You should be able to reach me off-forum by PM or eMail to audio@tempoelectric.com

Cheers,
Joseph
