Re: Quiet competence or occasional magic?

Glad to hear your feedback Steve as I stumped up for the Pass INT-250 yesterday as a birthday present to myself, so looking forward to getting it soon.
Did not realise the size and weight of it until I did some more research today, heavier and larger than I thought from the pics.

Re: Is the Squeezebox Touch still relevant?

I still have 2 of them, run one in the kitchen into a Denon mini system into Mission 771 speakers and love the convenience and sound. Roon on my always on AV silent PC picks up the Touch easily and you can control playback from the Roon app on a smartphone. Generally just pick a track or an album an...

Re: Computer Audio Blasphemy, nige tries Another SD Card Player

You have me stumped on the red light, you would think with all the tinkering we did i would have an answer but i cannot think of what that would be.
I expect someone might come along and remind me!

Do you definitely have 5v in?
Maybe try adding a ground on the the furthest left pin!

Re: Tom Evans Phonostages-Experiences?

B&W 800s were about $1,600 in 2000 so they have doubled in price over 20 years. Worth noting that the USD has also lost about 80% of its value to gold over the same period. Looks like the devaluation of Fiat Money is only set to get worse over the coming years with all the controls being removed...

Re: Computer Audio Blasphemy, nige tries Another SD Card Player

Improved power supply did not seem to improve sound noticeably here but I have noticed with an 8v super capacitor supply the regulator near the SD and main chip gets warm in use so i might look to bypass this with a direct supply to see if there will be any improvement. Going direct i2s off pins on ...

Re: Computer Audio Blasphemy, nige tries Another SD Card Player

A quick point on John's comment on "external clock input", this is a clock output on the board so no facility for a clock input without some work. An update on the listening session at Micks at the weekend with a lot of good ears in attendance. We played the DAC with this new SD player bac...

Re: Computer Audio Blasphemy, nige tries Another SD Card Player

Got the new SD player hooked into the Group Build Caps powered DAC. I have it powered off 8.1 Caps. The HDMI to I2s connector is powered off the 3.3v Caps. https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/diy-interfaces/audio-gd-diy-kit-hdmi-to-i2s-input-module-p-9346.html https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/hdmi-dvi-cabl...

Re: Computer Audio Blasphemy, nige tries Another SD Card Player

Does the remote show all folders/files when the SD card is inserted into the player or does it continually read info off the SD card & transmit to remote? The remote does not have enough going on in the display to show more than the 4 lines you see in the pics John. When you power up the Player...
