Guys I wanted to share my experience with you since long about my Source component
You can see them in my signature-
Initially I was playing through my laptop, which was heavily optimized for audio
Players were, foobar, then Jriver and then Bughead. Incremental improvement in sound was there.
But what I was really missing from my chain is timing of sound, Vocal clarity and many other things.
In search of the missing things, I changed DAC- Schiit Gungnir,Audio-GD, Holo spring.
Changed the cables too, XLR , RCA, Speaker cables
It was bit frustrating because, shift in frequency was there but the real change.
Then after reading so many forums, I got to know that real culprit is source.
So I started searching, and fortunately evolving single board linux based devices attracted my attaention and tried Raspberry Pi.
With some improvements I tried SOTM SMS200 and wow it was a big change in sound.
I always wanted Vocal density and clarity and choosing Holo Spring was on those lines only.
So after further reading I got to know about USB Reclocker and I got SingxerSU-1.
Meanwhile I got SBOOSTER linear power supply for SOTM.
Singxer already has linear power supply built in but inserted sbooster's 79 euro ULTRA module to make it better.
and i was almost halfway through my personal sound preferences.
Then after further reading I got USB regenerator called ISO regen with same 79 Euro ultra power supply.
Fortunately, I got to know about Belden 8402 Cable from FM JLA001 and that made the vocal real in sound.
I was fortunate to have FM JLS001 and FM BHAGWAN for the listening session at my home
last week.
But it is better to have the impression in their words and I would be obliged if they can contribute to this thread.
I did many tweaks in my system and I will tell them in my later posts.
Anyone wants to listen, always welcome and can ask any questions in this forum by posting on this thread or by PM.
