Hi I already have a TransportPi and FifoPi set up (Mk2 I think). Despite its good sound the ‘pop/spitch’ sound at the start of tracks has always been an irritation to me with this combination (especially as my two cheaper HiFiBerry and Digi One transports don’t suffer from this problem). I’d like to build a new transport using either Ian’s new TransportPi Digi/II or the FifoPi Q7II and TransportPi 2.
Please can anyone tell me if Ian Canada’s TransportPi Digi1 or II still has the ‘pop/spitch’ sound at the start of music tracks or has this been eliminated as it has with the new FifoPi Q7II?
Ian kindly responded to my query but hasn’t really answered my question simply suggesting I go for the FifoPi Q7II and TransportPi 2 for best quality. However to be honest even though I have a pretty good system I haven’t noticed any difference between my HiFiDigi Pro, and my current FifoPi and TransportPi set up. (Both fed by custom built power supplies). So obviously I’d prefer the cheaper solution if possible!
My DAC’s are Arcam D33, Audiolab M-DAC, Arcam Black Boxes 5 and 1, Marantz CDA-94 all pop at the start of tracks with Ian’s FifoPi and TransportPi
Any feedback on pop elimination at the start of tracks with the TransportPi Digi1 or II would be welcome.
Kindest regards
Brian
