  1. For what it’s worth, I’ve asked the very same question to Mola Mola, what’s better SQ wise, Tambaqui + Kaluga or Makua with Tambaqui integrated + Kaluga. here’s their answer: “ for Both systems work very well, there might be a slight advantage in using the Makua/DAC combination over Tambaqui ( although I really enjoy using it as a full digital system) since the output of the Internal DAC is always in full output versus the Tambaqui's Digitaly controlled output, theoretically sacrificing that last bit of resolution. I suggest you ask your dealer for a side by side comparison,” a side by side comparison,
  2. sorry for the noob question but what’s the advantage of running at 60-80 iso 40-60?
  3. About 20 mins for mine to reach around 56 degrees Celsius at idle and another 20 mins playing to reach around 58-61… Never had more than 63 even after playing for hours at relatively high levels Funny thing is even when it was unplugged for several days, as soon as I start it shows already 36 degrees and there is no way my room temperature is so hot…. On a side note I must say that the people at Mola Mola are extremely reactive with mails etc… I even had an issue with the remote where it was, from time to time, changing inputs when pushing level up button. After waiting for the next software update which was supposed to resolve the issue but didn’t, the company asked me to send the remote to reprogram it. All expenses paid by them. very classy service
  4. Speaking of Makua, found my Makua and Kaluga running fairly warm during use. Trough the web interface I can see that the Makua board temperature is around 60 degrees Celsius when in use. When touching them Makua and Kaluga seem about the same temperature. A bit surprised by this as I thought class D amps were supposed to run fairly cool. Anybody else with a similar experience?
  5. I’ve asked the mola mola guys if there was a difference, sound wise, between the Tanbaqui and the internal DAC inside the Makua, their reply was that they were identical, the only difference being the Tambaqui having a digital volume vs an analog one for the Makua. They ended up saying that, for this reason, the Makua could sound very slightly better…
  6. Hi guys, Read on the Roon community forum that a guy pretends there’s an USB 2.0 inside the nucleus that, when connected to his DAC gives way better results that the external USB 3.0. On the pics above I don’t see any internal USB port. Don’t know if the guy was referring to a rev A or B. Anybody is aware of this or even tried this?
  7. Finally solved! Took some emails back and forth as they didn't seem to understand the problem and I had a feeling they were just keeping me on the line ....(very politely but still....) Anyway, what I did: -delete the app (had done this already but without step 2) -restart Ipad - reinstall the app Problem solved Hope it might help others In the mean time I just realized that the app has been updated 2 days ago from 2.20.0 to 2.21.0..... so it's probably just that....
  8. I did, also from my iPhone, where the display is as it should be
  9. im in contact with them, till now they just proposed to restart my iPad (same same obviously) and asked me iOS and tidal app version.... waiting for further help....
  10. Strange cause according to my iPad the Tidal app was updated a week ago and this behavior started 2 days ago. But will send an email
  11. Hi Guys, All of a sudden when performing a search for an artist and then displaying all the albums from this artist on my IPad I have only 2 albums per screen and have to scroll down to see other albums.... till now when doing the same my screen was full of albums. Screenshot of my pad: and the same from my IPhone (was the same on my IPad till today...) don’t see any display settings on the iPad, deleted amd reinstalled the app, no changes.... where did I screw up?
  12. Andy, care to elaborate what would be the gain? cheers
  13. Hello Andy, Yes the question was, for roughly the same budget, what would do it better: 2 M8 (indeed sigle amp channel driving each 802) or 2 S5 (indeed passive bi-amping)? Cheers
  14. Hello Everybody, Considering buying Michi combo to drive B&W 802 D3. Was thinking initially P5 + 2 M8. But , as price is identical was thinking why not 2 S5 and going Bi-amp road? Obviously a bit more expensive cable wise. thoughts about 2 S5 vs 2 M8? Cheers
  15. Hi, Did you consider Mola Mola? They're not cheap but did get some serious good reviews. Cheers
  16. Ok, but still you have DACs and DACs, nice to see what he can do, but how does he do it?
  17. You guys have an idea about the quality of the DAC of the P5? I mean, I want to upgrade my system with this P5/S5 or p5/M8 combo, want to add Roon into the equation, is it still worthwhile to consider a separated DAC, or the one inside the P5 will do the job correctly?
  18. Hi there, Living in Europe but eager to discover what’s happening down under....?
