Title: Barbone Intona... Post by: BertD on February 05, 2016, 12:19:06 pm ... not built-in yet using a standard cable from PC to Intona and Clarixa to the NOS1b for the moment.
Counting errors the other way around and counting nothing now. Plans are to built this Barebone Intona (just the PCB without plastic enclosure) into the PC directly and soldered to the USB input directly and use the output with a single cable towards the DAC. I will place the PCB inside the PC first (with cables connected) to hear if that changes anything before making things final. No idea when this is going to happen though... floating in the air as it is connected now sounds already awesome! :) Playing about 6dB louder too (according to the settings) but it does not sound any louder than before? Weird... :scratching: Bert Title: Re: Barbone Intona...

Weird... :scratching: Bert You are not the only one playing 6dB louder with the Intona I am sure! Good idea regarding direct connection of the Intona. I have just started the process of building a custom PC case from scratch and my plan was to put the Intona inside along with some linear power supplies, but I had not thought of going to the same extent as you have suggested...so nice one. I would be much appreciative if you could show us how you do it in this thread. Cheers, Anthony Title: Re: Barbone Intona... Post by: PeterSt on February 05, 2016, 12:53:20 pm :offtopic:
Quote NOS1b Oh ? On my keyboard this is 10cm from the "a", so it can't be that ... :coocoo: Title: Re: Barbone Intona... Post by: AlainGr on February 05, 2016, 01:05:47 pm Could it stand for NOS1 "barebone" ? Maybe Bert will squeeze the NOS1a in the PC case, eliminating the need for a USB cable ;)
