| Innous Zen Mini MK 3 @thyname ... yes, you're right. But my main point was that it should not be evaluated as a DAC combo, although it does come bundled with one. | |
| Innous Zen Mini MK 3 I don't know, I feel that as consumers we should reward vendors and retailers who go the extra mile by offering a return policy.Also, it gets even more confusing. Apparently, if you buy an Orchid they don't even include a power cord ... I mean, wh... | |
| Innous Zen Mini MK 3 @ericsch Thanks for the feedback. Very helpful. I went to the Linear Tube Audio to order the Orchid, but looks like they don't do returns. All sales are final. That's a damn shame! I typically don't do business with vendors who don't trust their o... | |
| Innous Zen Mini MK 3 @ericsch Wow, what a coincidence! I am also considering an MHDT Orchid as an option. Other DACs I'm considering include RME-AD-2 and Border Patrol. Mytek Brooklyn Bridge DAC+ is also a contender but given my preferences I think the other two migh... | |
| Headphone amp + DAC + Volume + ROON READY @yyzsantabarbara Considering that this is a headphones thread, I don't want to derail your discussion. But I definitely want to pick your brain in helping me find a good streaming solution. If you don't mind I will message you directly later toni... | |
| Quicksilver Headphone Amp @devilboy I’m actually using the Quicksilver HP amp with the Aryas. Prior to the QS amp, I used them with Naim Unitiqute, AAA THX 789 (now returned), and iFi Micro DSD Black Label. A few issues I had with the Aryas was that sometimes they tended t... | |
| Innous Zen Mini MK 3 @chrizola ... if you feel that you will be maxed out after purchasing the Zen Mini, then my humble advise is that you should look elsewhere. If you read any reviews or product descriptions of the Zen Mini, you can’t help but notice that there is s... | |
| Quicksilver Headphone Amp @glissando Couldn't agree with you more. I have been using the Quicksilver headphone amp for a few weeks now, and it is probably one of the most satisfying purchases I've made in the last few years. I'm just surprised that the reviews are so scant... | |
| Headphone amp + DAC + Volume + ROON READY Thanks, @yyzsantabarbara . I'm actually leaning heavily towards the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge. It offers a lot at a reasonable price. Lumin T2 is a bit outside my comfort zone price-wise. I was not aware of Sonore xxxRendu. Need to do some research be... | |
| Headphone amp + DAC + Volume + ROON READY @yyzsantabarbara Since you were looking at the Chord Mojo, I was going to suggest that you also checkout iF Micro DSD Black Label. But to be honest, anything less than a thousand will not do proper justice to the Empyreans. The Mytek definitely t... | |
| AFFORDABLE (under $1K) Best SS and Tube Amps for HD600 Same here ... I ordered the Quicksilver a few weeks ago, and it's just amazing. I love the lush, holographic sound. The low end it provides took my Hifiman Arya and Focal Clear to a whole new level. | |
| Headphone amp + DAC + Volume + ROON READY Did you take a look at Mytek Brooklyn Bridge? | |
| Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio Thanks everyone for responding to my question. I have decided to go with option #1: Modem >> Router >> switch >> one line going to Apple TV (which will be replaced with a better streamer soon), and another line from the switch go... | |
| Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio @david_ten Thanks for your response. Yes, I understand that there is a third option i.e. powerline adapters. But since the router is in the same room, I am able to run a direct ethernet connection via CAT6 or 7. So the question is whether to run ... | |
| Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio I have a silly question ... I am running an ethernet cable from my router to my Apple TV that is connected to my 2 channel stereo amplifier. Now I have my headphone rig on the other side of the same room where the Bluesound Node 2 is acting as the... |
