Hi,
It's been a long time since I've entered this thread.

I've been checking the other threads for this music server Olive O3HD, but very little discussion on it.

Knowing that many AV gurus here are also hi-fi gurus, I thought of asking here for some opinions.

So, is this O3HD any good? I think its price of SGD 1600 excl tax is very comeptitive.

Lucklilly my cabling is mostly hidden away or else will fail some sifu's observation.

I sit for a demo at CMY Setia City Mall yesterday, i was quite impressed with the enhancement it made to the PQ.

My concern are do i need to recalibrate my display ? and probably will need anfieldude service again.

That's great. I'll try to pop into CMY Uptown for try-out.

The calibration part is also what I worry about as I just got it calibrated by him. But according to what I read in AVS, there's no need to re-calibrate. Maybe you can check it out and reconfirm whthere I read correctly or not.

I have one in my system now....it did improve the the detail and sharpness and did improve the depth of 3D movie as well....however, it done nothing to SD material.

Great to hear you got positive improvements.

Going to CMY to test it out this afternoon.

Will update later.

Just came back from trying out the Darbee at CMY.

While watching I, Robot, the improvements were very obvious. Colours were more vibrant and resolution were enhanced. For example, the robots and Spooner's leather jacket were shinier. The colours painted on the robots were cleaner and not washed out.

Then I switched to old remastered movies. The improvements are there but were much lesser. you cna only see the difference if you paused the movie and do the before/after test.

The 3rd test were with Kungfu Panda. I can see the most obvious improvements in this animation movie. The colours are bolder and details really stand out.

I'll most probably add it into my system soon.
