Has anyone compared the Mola Mola DAC to the higher end models from dCS like Rossini and Vivaldi (with or without clocks, upsamplings, etc)? Same ballpark, or is one of them in its own universe too?

A subtle lowering of noise floor and its benefits: slightly longer decays, better microdynamics and instrument outlines. Not night and day, but the price is not so high too, so worth it. I don't remember who recommended it before, must be buried in a forum somewhere but I am too lazy to Google it.

I don't know about the one you mentioned but me and a friend both own an Emo System EN-30 ($172.49) and we both liked the improvement they brought to our systems. https://www.emosystems.com/product/en-30/

A lot of talking and so little on the actual sonic impressions, changes in different setups and DAC comparisons that everyone is eager to learn. Oh well...

Audioxpress magazine had an article about a factory visit where they said that. Lard Risbo interview with Erin on YouTube he says Bruno is working with high power. That's it.

Yes, sorry for digging an old article, but I read your most recent ones, including answers in topics here and other forums, and could not find the answer to such a basic question I had. This article was the only one I saw you mic actually measuring. But all good now, thanks again for answering. :)

Hi @mitchco, why do you recommend pointing the microphone to the ceiling instead of pointing forward, each position corrected with its file? Considering 2 channel stereo system in a listening room. What are pros and cons of each method? Thanks!

@mitchco this or Audiolense XO? What are the pros and cons of each, other than the price difference (250 usd x 400 euros)? Thanks!

Rare to see a review of the Makua as a preamp only. https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2021/02/28/mola-mola-makua-preamplifier-review/

Yes, I just saw that. Miracles do happen, huh. Now SoX upsampling parameters would be a plus, and Tidal/Qobuz/Spotify audio streaming would be a huge win. But I am not counting on this really.

No, the head boss Jim refused to implement it, and gave some arguments that JRMC is not an audiophile player (!), that I am free to use another software, and that they have other more important things to develop instead of this. As we can see from the new features below, these are highly questionable. https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=126718.0 In my opinion, their lack of focus and the refusal to implement any audio streaming services (Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, etc) "because they have no future" is a shame and it is holding them back. A pity, since I am a customer

Maybe the new iFi iPower Elite? https://ifi-audio.com/products/ipower-elite/

I am just waiting for Bruno to finish his new more powerful Purifi modules.

Great discovery this week! Hoff Ensemble - Polarity (2018), original in 24/352. http://www.2l.no/pages/album/145.html

I contacted them by sending a message here: https://www.facebook.com/infoalborantrio Cost was 15 euros sent by PayPal, and he sent me the 24/96 wave files.
