| BlueSound Node 2i > RME ADI2 DAC > NAD 316 BEE v2 > Dali Rubicon 5 (volume too high) I have volume out on my RME set to fix, and all the tone control, EQ and etc. turned off. I’m running mine as a straight out DAC. | |
| Good Entry-Level DAC The idea that DAC’s don’t get better but only a different sound is just like saying there’s no difference between preamps and amps. Can only speak on the current RME ADI-2 fs to the DAC in my Bluesound Vault 2 and DAC inputs on my Oppo UDP 205 and... | |
| Good Entry-Level DAC RME ADI-2 fs DAC. Music I thought I knew well, I’m hearing information I have never heard before. New can be had for $1099. The RME is hands down better than my Cambridge 851C which is a respectable deck, so it should be just as noticeable on your... | |
| cambridge audio cxn v2 Power supply is probably fine. On my 851C I heard a nice improvement changing out both fuses which on your CXN you probably have just the one on the power supply board right next to the IEC socket. The Synergistic Blacks were the latest when I mad... | |
| RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000? Just to be clear I’m not saying one has to throw on LPS to get great sound out of the RME as it is an outstanding DAC regardless of the price. What I am implying is I’m curious if an LPS will take it to another level and if so I’d spend the $400. ... | |
| RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000? Agree with @jeenam thats it’s an honest DAC. It is accurate but with no glare or harshness whatsoever. Can listen to the RME for hours with no fatigue whatsoever. Now if ones system is thin or bright to begin with then yeah it might just pass the ... | |
| A warm DAC? The RME is neutral but on the warmer side than analytical. If it’s sounds bright on ones system then they probably should work on theIr equipment or their room first. In my system the RME has me listening to music I haven’t in years as my system h... | |
| A warm DAC? RME ADI-2 DAC fs. Was going to type something real long - just check it out. $1099 new, thirty day trial. | |
| RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000? @sathtomCambridge 851C CDP/DAC. It’s a full CD player with preamp out and DAC input in - same as the 851D. The 851C is very good and I’m keeping it to use as a transport but the RME is a better DAC, more refined by a good margin. | |
| New Preamplifier Maybe the manufacturer messed up and exported it to Japan and it was sent back after they figured it out and the dealership had nothing to do with it or has any idea? Guessing this same preamp is sold in various countries as well. Probably getting... | |
| want a CD player upgrade @donpepeI too have a Cambridge 851C with SR Black and still feel for the money it’s a fine player, but that being said I just picked up an RME ADI-2 fs DAC and it’s hands down better, and not just a different sound. Bought new for $1099 with a 30 ... | |
| Audio Research CD-2, any still using, or feedback on your experience. Owned one when it first came out and recall it was a nice player but maybe overpriced a bit. Don’t remember that well but it was a little on the warmer side, non fatiguing player for sure. Felt at the same time the Arcam 9 CD Ring DAC was a better... | |
| Anyone open up the case on a Bluesound Vault 2? @lowrider57 I haven’t opened my Vault 2 yet but interested if @richdirector received the power supply from Fidelity Audio, how it went and if the improvement was worth the price? I did pick up a RME ADI 2 fs and I’m very happy with this DAC. The D... | |
| supra coax cable upgrade I take it the Supra has 100+ hours on it? I’ve not used a Supra coax but have their ethernet and power cord and was very impressed with them, especially for the money. If you want to try something cheap that is very good look into the Canare with ... | |
| Chord Dave - Missing soundstage width Is the stage actually wider on the Orchid or does the stage just sounds like a wall of music, and not saying it doesn’t have a pleasing sound. Is the Dave maybe quieter, more space between the instruments and maybe at a quick observation comes acr... |
