CuBox Project X

[Antoine]

Hi Kunter, nice! I've read many, many good things about the Paul Hynes supplies so using it/checking it out should be interesting! I've noticed the Cubox doens't last a full day up&running on a single charge of my Anker 13.000mAh so a linear PSU would be so much easier in daily use. I just kept it running but of course knowing this I'll simply press the power button on the battery to start/shut down the Cubox.

Sorry, I haven't had the time to really listen and compare the Cubox to AIR except for one single evening. During that session I found the playback very relaxed and musical but maybe a bit too 'dark'. This however in no way is a conclusion I always like to listen more than once spread over several different days. Also, currently I'm trying/changing too many things at the same time which makes it even harder to compare so I need to slow down a bit. I think I'll focus on the PC music server first now that I've found it possible to use Devialet's USB input in Server Core mode, also the Apexi PCI/PCI-E power filter was delivered today so again something new to try out.

The Akasa Lokstor ESATA enclosure has also been delivered today so I'll test this at a later time as well. First I'll just use the SSD currently in my PC music server and power it using the same Anker battery.

Have fun playing with the Cubox once your enclosure, cable etc. are delivered!
