| A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC I have the Pontus 12th Anniversary edition and yes it is now the best sounding DAC I have. I also acquired a PS Audio Directstream Jr. which I plan to use to play DSD files. I hope to compare that sound to the Pontus in the next few weeks. | |
| Bose buys McIntosh Food for thought. Some audiophiles snub their nose at McIntosh gear. Some call it the poor man’s HiFi. So for some McIntosh is the equivalent to Bose in the high fidelity world. In these cases, who is the audio snob? One who calls Bose unworthy of... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh Audio Research was bought by Acora Acoustics and Musical Fidelity was bought by Audio Tuning. In both cases the new owners stated they didn’t want to interfere with what the company was doing to keep the brand original (in many ways). Bose may do ... | |
| Impulsive drive to buy the EverSolo dmp-A8 or should I wait ? That is the question. I would seriously consider the New Bluesound Icon. It’s coming out in a week or two. It will have a display, dual DAC configuration and Bluesound has invested heavily in research and customer support. I have a HiFi Rose and Bluesound X (also older... | |
| DSD coming to Qobuz streaming? I like DSD. I like FLAC and I like MQA. To me it’s like saying I hate apple pie and just wish every grocery store would offer my favorite pie, cherry. It’s really the best. BTW I have never tried blueberry… but really it can’t be the best. There i... | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? What would you expect if someone came to your house and listened to your very nice sound system and they actually spent 1.5 million on a state of the art system of their own with a dedicated custom built room and that audiophile thought yours was ... | |
| Favorite mid-tier streamer I agree with oddiofyl. | |
| Quincy Jones has passed away Wow. Talk about a musical icon.... Quincy did it all. God Bless him and his family. | |
| What is your favorite budget streamer? Thanks to everyone for some awesome recommendations. I am leaning towards increasing my budget and getting the new Bluesound Icon. I have a Node, Node2i, Vault and Node X and have been really happy with the GUI and the customer service. I usually ... | |
| Power cord I like Cullen Cables a lot. They are not expensive. | |
| What is your favorite budget streamer? deep_333 and oddiofyl Bluesound and Wii are on my "look at" list. Thanks for sharing. | |
| Budget integrated amp? The speaker load is a very important consideration here. Solid state and tube amps are great choices but paired with the right speakers. I have Line Magnetic and Rogue tube amps paired with easy to drive speakers with higher sensitivity. I also ha... | |
| Opinions about Daniel Hertz “This must be the best audio thingammabob I have ever heard” Said by every audio review person, every month, different audio thingammabob. Mr. Huff does this too. | |
| Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? I think I read somewhere that Magico had a model where the grills were not including in the price of the speaker and also if the speaker was sent back to them for repair they wouldn’t return them it back to you, they would notify you which dock at... | |
| CD Player: Vintage or modern ones? +1 decathalon1991 I have an older Sony XA series and also an older Pioneer PD65 and both are stellar tank machines with great drive mechanisms. Parts can be found but be careful. As far as new machines go, Jays Audio makes a solid transport (whic... |
