Hi Hans, love your straightforward no nonsense reviews. If I may ask you a question, I’m looking to upgrade my Chord Qutest with a new DAC with a more analog sound. Not wanting to spend more than $4000. I’m a serious listener when I sit in my small room which has sound treatments and mostly listen to Jazz. Here is my setup… ROON CORE] SonicTransporter │ ▼ [SWITCH] English Electric 8Switch │ ▼ [FIBER ISOLATION] OpticalModule (LPS) ➝ Optical Cable ➝ Media Converter (LPS) │ ▼ [STREAMER] Sonore ultraRendu (LPS) │ ▼ [DAC] Chord Qutest (LPS) │ ▼ [PREAMP] Kinki Studio EX-P7 │ ▼ [AMP] Westlake Prototype Amplifier │ ▼ [SPEAKERS] Westlake BBSM4 Thank Jim

Dag Hans, allereerst een fijn en gezond 2024 gewenst. Ik ben gepensioneerd elektronica ingenieur en ben al zo'n 45 jaar hobbymatig met audio elektronica bezig. Door toeval heb ik het fenomeen 'ground box' ontdekt. Heb jij wel eens geëxperimenteerd met groundboxen? De Zweedse fa Entreq maakt furore met zijn kabels en grondboxen. Helaas zijn deze grondboxen nog al duur, vandaar dat ik zelf ben gaan experimenteren met verschillende mineralen (o.a. graniet en toermalijn) en aansluit methodes op mijn audio apparaten. Ik heb nooit verwacht dat het klankbeeld nog zo kon verbeteren!! Het wonderlijke is dat ik het technisch niet kan verklaren............op de site van 'Audio Science Review' wordt de grondbox van Entreq afgeserveerd als een placebo kastje. Placebo of niet ik heb nog nooit zo genoten van al mijn muziek!!! Als je nog geen ervaring het met dit fenomeen, dan is dit zeker een aanrader! Alvast bedankt voor je reactie.......... mvgr.

Hello Hans, I have just added Townshend's Maximum Super Tweeters to my loudspeakers. They are inaudible per se, but make a remarkable improvement to clarity, imaging, and unbelievably, the bass! How is that possible? They offer a very good SQ upgrade for the dollar. I would love to hear your detailed analysis of these extraordinary devices or similar. Finger's crossed...

Hi Hans, I noticed that you have mentioned the importance of upgrading power supplies a few times. How can I find out if I need a better power supply? I've a Pro-Ject Phono Box and a Arylac s50 pre-amp.

Is there a review coming for the new RPi4B (as Roonready USB-streamer) wich has now NIC separated from USB so soundquality should be in theory better than the RPi3?

I've got a Dragonfly Red usb dongle DAC. They're supposed to be really terrific, and I like it for my laptop when I'm on the go. But I also heard they were actually really good, the Cobalt one weighing in at $300. How is that this little dongle DAC, gets 100% of it's info and power right out of the USB jack on laptop/computer and does a great job, vs the Allo Digione Signature plus gargantuan linear PSU that comes in at more like $500 all in?

Hi Hans, can a raspberry pi with Hifiberry DAC2 HD compete with a regular streamer, such as e.g. the Marantz NA6005, which I have?
