I substituted a fiber optical ethernet media converter box set up to replace the ethernet cable run from router to dac. I replaced the wall wart power supply to the FMC box closest to the dac. I used an IFi power supply. It seems like there is more detail and transparency from possibly a lower noise floor.
I have owned the Weiss one year, It replaced a LUMIN T2 I owned 3 years. The Weiss is superior sonically in every way, tone, spatial qualities, transparency. Also very natural sounding. If you can find a place to audition one you will hear the difference immediately.
If you call NSMT you will speak with owner, designer Erol Ricketts. Would you tell him I recommended NSMT? This is a small company that uses word of mouth advertising.
ML, I agree no great audio stores in Prescott but that's to be expected. Brick and mortar are on the decline for sure. I think you're headed to the Valley to get the service you need. I only stream anymore and have the gear to pull off high resolution through Qobuz and Roon. BTW, I grew up in Pittsburgh, went to Pitt and moved to Boston after graduation. I came to Prescott from Boston 3 years ago this month. I'm lovin' the weather and non-stressed population.
Thanks for your comment on my altitude thread. I find Prescott to be a wasteland for great audio stores. Do you know anyone local WHO CAN SET UP A NEW CONTROL 4 SYSTEM? One local shop wanted $3,200!! How about projector repair locally?? Must we all have to go to Phoenix for this??
