ConcreteCow Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I'm having a dilemma... Not sure what I would like to do. Innuos Phoenix or Denafrips Gaia? The Phoenix would be connected via USB to my Zenith MKIII then to a Topping D90 MQA DAC. If I chose the Denafrips Gaia the connection would still be USB from Zenith III to Gaia but from the Gaia it would be I2s to the D90 MQA DAC. Any thoughts anyone?

ConcreteCow Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hi Rune, Yes. I was thinking the Gaia route as I was also contemplating the Terminator Plus later on. Just wanted to know members thoughts on the Gaia with the D90 MQA via I2s.

Popular Post ConcreteCow Posted August 14, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2020 Okie dokie .... Look at what I've got to play with.... This will be interesting .... I have on board for home trial an Ideon Audio Master Time 3R and an Innuos Phoenix. If only I could locate a Demo Gaia ..... I will be connecting up this weekend and will post back my findings soon. One of these may end up being a 'keeper' for me so I'm very excited to trial after many positive comments. Thanks to all who have taken the time to place their views/comments on this thread so far of which I have found both informative and interesting. Time for some 'Toons'..... motberg and Blake 2 Amplifier: Feliks Envy (Performance Ed), Primaluna EVO 400 Integrated with Brimar CV4003, Singxer SA-1, Cayin C9 Portable Amp.
