  This is my DAC of choice. It perfectly matches the resolution of my system so that I don’t hear it, I only hear the quality of the recording and mastering. Fun video, thanks!

  I appreciated your points about the harshness. I have a Modi 5 and an AKM Modius that I have used with my Valhalla 3. Although I appreciate the blacker backgound, more detail, and wider spacial presentation of the Modi 5, I found it can get a bit exhausting. I like to listen while I work, so the more relaxed Modius is easier for the longer term with music both poorly and well recorded. I put my Modi 5 out with my Sony bookshelf speakers and Onkyo integrated amp, and it works well there via both a Wiim Pro and a TV.

  After experiencing your findings with the Schiit Mimir, and what you ended up doing to get a satisfying result, I would try connecting the Schiit Mimir to my Musician Pieces II &nbsp;DDC, and then connect my YAQIN SD-CD3 Tube Buffer to the Schiit Mimir. &nbsp;However, I would expect a more pleasing synergy effect than using the Schiit Mimir connected directly without using a DDC, and without a tube buffer.

  Nice video - running HQPlayer dsd512 on my Geshelli J3 via PC through naa and really like the sound. &nbsp;PCM 768 sounds cleaner but dsd gives a bit more texture, depth and smooth sound - at least that’s what I hear fwiw- filters and modulators dependent on the headphone or stereo and what I am listening to. &nbsp;Nice that I am not the only nerd 😂

  I have multiple over samplers on Windows, including just the built in one. All sound much better than just streaming native

  I use HQPlayer Embedded (Linux) with a 5070Ti GPU, feeding a mini PC endpoint running the NAA Daemon on GentooPlayer, with both PCs connected via 10G fiber through an SFP+ switch. This setup has proved to be much cleaner than a Windows PC running HQPlayer Desktop fed by 1G ethernet. I&apos;ve been so impressed with the fiber setup that I&apos;m making plans to run fiber to all my endpoints around the house. I&apos;m a non-techie, but AI helped me get familiar with Linux and setting up my network.<br><br>The filters aren&apos;t so daunting after you play with HQPlayer. None of the filters sound bad - they just provide variety. If that&apos;s not your thing, just leave it on the first filter you like. It will still sound better than the original stream by itself.
