Now i have an official ES62 rclxm9.gif

Will post the tunings and videos later. Tuning using IPad audiocontrol app + pink noise cd. Seems like its a pain in d butt as a outboard processor will have more control on the EQ curves n settings.

Currently running these drivers / speakers @

Low @ 64Hz 6db Slope
Mid @ 80Hz HPF / 400Hz 12db slope LPF (bandpass)
High @ 640Hz 6db slope HPF

FLAC files are quite easy actually. Torrent! hahaha..  I have no idea about ITunes/AAC but I'd assum ITunes is pretty high quality since you'd have to pay for each song you download. Only issue I have with FLAC is how stupidly huge the songs are. Smallest song I have is 30Mb and the bigger 160mb... that's just for one song!

Wont a FLAC player / device cost a bomb? hmm.gif Im still comfortable with CD's tho. I dont mind bringing my CD bag whenever i enter the car. blink.gif

flac is way more better than aac..tongue.gif

If i go FLAC, wont i need a portable FLAC player? and then plug in via aux rite? Wont it degrade the sound? just wondering as i have no knowledge of portable media device. As for USB, i have a slight hint of understanding. Im afraid that ( Portable media device already converted from Digital to Analog > AUX > Analog convert to Analog again no?)

For flac compatibility, I was thinking about having full DA (diggital audio) route. My main concern is the dsp, of whether it can deal with 24/192 injects from lets say Fiio X3 2nd gen optic out. Not saying that 24/192 or any higher bitrate is better but yea I have some of them in my collection and wondering how they perform with ICE setup. Candidates were Helix dsp pro and that Alpine PXa h800. But, lately reputable brands like phoenix gold and audiocontrol have entered digital processing so the wait could be worth doing while knowing helix dsp pro and alpine h800 were already a major establishment.

Due to major swing in my investments, I have to use the budget for ICE to open new platforms so that at the end of the road I wont be desperately selling the setup just to have something on my plate day one.

Some updates.

I changed my player to a Eclipse CD7000 for a few weeks till i have enough cash for a dream come tru Denon headunit. rclxms.gif

The eclipse that i used for a few weeks CD7000. Has a very nice vocals on this. Vocals on this baby is clear. Without altering any EQ n other aesthetics. But sadly, i sold it off. bye.gif

Once i got the cash that i need. I removed all of my RCA (used to be Flux BC cables) and changed all of it to Tchernov Standard 2IC. This is my first most expensive RCA ive ever owned. All 4 cables are 1.65m of length. Cost me RM520 each.

user posted image

And my long awaited Denon DCT-A100. That moment it came to the post and to my palms bruce.gif rclxm9.gif
The moment i tested it at my test bench. I knew its not those overhyped headunits. Ran active on my test bench. My cheapo Dominations Buddies sounded like expensive speakers. Used those Remastered CD's "audiophile"

user posted image

And got myself a cheap DSP for me to go active

Dominations The Corpus Callosum. Its based on Macrom EXT.A1DSP

Final pics. I love that combo. Especially at night

That's one bloody good HU. Denon's are amazingly good. Wait till you start playing with mods like the batcaps and expensive oil caps and all for modding the HU

Some of you might be familiar with the brand Flux, Yep.... Dekit my dominations components and went for an upgrade. I went with Flux Spirit. Tho i changed the grills on it to use flux basic because

1. Im scared that my daughter will be poking things into it like she did before
2. The grills on basic is honeycomb and has a full look to it compared to spirit.

Changed all my speaker cables to Tchernov cables. Yet still, all this mods, not even keen to join any competition blink.gif all for self pleasure thumbup.gif

That pillar is those aftermarket pillar. I dont even know who made em and what. All i can say that its damn thin. I had to do some adjustments and add some layer of soundproof inside. hmm.gif

user posted image
Some tchernov speaker cables. Just their entry level cables. Not willing to fork out RM80/M cables. puke.gif

Next to come is another Flux FA4.100 and a Sub.

Continue on the setup. Manage to get myself another Flux FA100.4. Took me quite a while hunting it down. Its damn hard to find one unlike the recent products Evo and Sporty (internals like garbage). Also added 2 more Tchernov RCA and tweeter wire, also from Tchernov. Just some installation pics tho. Nothing much.

The very moment i open up my front chairs. Yup. Very messy. My previous wiring job was just average. Easily pulled cables. But nvm. My intention was to dekit all my previous speaker wiring and do it right. Finalized.

Continue the pics. biggrin.gif

Was brainstorming on where should i mount my DSP.. After 3 sticks of ciggies and some tempering, i decided to mount it behind the underseat sub (temporary solution) Till i can make my "fiber sub box" in front and only then properlly screw on the DSP on the box itself at the same location.

Tucked in all the wires properly this time. Under the carpet. Not beside. Since i aint gonna change any speaker wires anymore. rclxms.gif

If you're talking bout the WCC 3 way component where the magnet of the speakers are small diameter (dont remember what type of magnet its called. Berylium if im not mistaken) i have already auditioned it. Not up to my expectation and price vs performance. The WCC is only selling for its brand. If you have a chance to audition Flux Spirit and the WCC, you would know what i mean. But still. Thats just my 2 cents. Different people has different ears.
