Hi guys, I'm a new member and i am very interested on acquiring a ST10 DAC 10h combo, but before ordering it i would like to know if in the near future Nuprime is planning to update the V4 Amplification Module for a V5.
In that case I would like to know what changes to the sound will V5 module produce.
In addition i know that for US clients exist the possibility to upgrade the combo by TDSS. Is it possible to get this upgrade on an international order?
Thanks in advance,
Jean.
I have been living with my TDSS modded equipment for over five - seven months average. (I had two pieces modded). Amp and preamp.
How do I say it? The sound of music will be able the breath through the electronics like it could not before.
The TDSS mod eliminates certain kinds of internally generated electronic noise that electronic equipment typically produces with OEM designs. The mod pulls down and eliminates certain innate types of distortion that we "sense" all the time without knowing it.
Its like having a somewhat stuffed nose suddenly open up and let you breath easier. The music flows easier with the mod. Its not some form of coloration designed to make the music sound pleasant in an altered way. Like with a cleared nose, you will 'smell/hear' bad things also more clearly. So, its not a means to make bad recordings sound more pleasant.
Its like being able to breath again to smell fragrances that impaired nostrils just would not let you know were there It does not make the flowers smell better than they are. It just lets you smell the flower's fragrance better.
You understand what I am saying? Transparency may be the right term for it. It lowers a certain harshness that can come from the ever present internally generated electronic noise (RFI -EMI) not being controlled. Most audio equipment do not have what this mod enables. Probably, very expensive audio concentrates on this factor. Stuff I never get to hear.
It allows more of the music to reach to your ears. But? If you have audio cables that distort the sound? That will be heard. You will need better cables in that case. Speakers set up out of alignment? You'll need to get them precisely set up. The mod just lets the music through the electronics to breath easier.
Its like cleaning a window and allowing you to see what you are working with. A great system will sound better by allowing more of its greatness to reach your ears.
The mod is based upon sound engineering. Not some gimmick.
Hope that helps! Gene
