Post your latest AV purchase(s)......

Congratulations Amrut- happy to see your audio journey evolve. Do share comparisons in sound between the Lintons and the ATCs as well as the Hegel vs Willsenton

Yes surely,
both systems are poles apart but yet enjoyable.
One is detailed and revealing, other is lush and old school sound.

A detailed thread of living with ATC will follow soon.
 
Moving the srabilizer to other place. Not much noice from servo what I observed. When there is any fluctuation then only some noise .
 
Bought the Zidoo Zx9 8k from Amazon USA.
Wasn’t expecting a significant upgrade in sound quality as compared to the Nvidia Shield Pro. Tested for movies and concerts, it’s a day and night difference apart from the ease of functionality. The difference is a new speakers and amp upgrade type of difference! Was running Kodi on shield and using native player in Zidoo.

Anyone else with a similar experience?

Why and how is sound quality different?

Unless decoding has changed, SQ should be unaffected.

Edit: probably your settings on Shield on Kodi were not optimized, KODI has very deep and intricate options which could have been culprit.

My thoughts exactly.
Had the standard settings in Kodi, wanted help regarding what could be so different. To my mind, I cannot understand how SQ could be affected. Maybe the HDMI wire, but can it really make that much if a difference ?
 
I was so impressed with Weiss' DAC502 MK1 that I could not resist the temptation of getting the MK2, so MK1 is gone, and MK2 is in. 502 was fantastic and this one is even better.

This is an amazing DAC, heard this at prestige hifi bangkok when I picked up my 204 few months ago, this is a very good dac if you're not doing DSD
