| Cayin CS-55a integrated... which speakers? @dz13 you are welcome! Portugal is a great little country, with great weather, mostly with simple and friendly people. All foreigners are very well received and almost everyone speaks English at conversation level. You have the immense coast, bea... | |
| Cayin CS-55a integrated... which speakers? @dz13 Another very interesting speaker recommendation, yet another brand not available in Europe! On looks and specs alone the Nola Boxer Mk3 appears to be excellent with the Cayin. | |
| Cayin CS-55a integrated... which speakers? @hilde45 thanks for the recommendation, the Fritz do look interesting and my kind of speaker. Unfortunately I am in Portugal... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update Great news for my Pontus II. I hope it fixes the skipping issue and that it sounds even better. Well done Denafrips :) | |
| Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro @marco1 , I found that also true. I have never been successful in putting any speakers close to the front wall, more than 85cm In fact, the 1/5 rule, my favorite positioning starting in my room distance the speakers 100cm from the back wall, and ... | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? For me it depends on the system quality and room acoustics/ size. Up to a certain point a dac like the Denafrips Aries is all you’ll ever need. The differences could be subtle if we are talking of a simple system, but can be really palpable in a h... | |
| Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro Finally I am in the position to say a few words about the Model 1: wonderful stuff indeed! The upgrade from the Arro is very evident from the first note, the transparency the balance, the superior bass delivery, mid range presence and clear, det... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? @fastcat95, maybe they have corrected it on the 12th. I tried my Pontus II with 2 cd transports and 4 cd players, using 5 digital cables, with different terminations, bnc-rca, rca-rca, aes/ebu, and the problem is there. Once a day in some combina... | |
| Denafrips Pontus II Clicks Or Static? I have those reported issues with my Pontus II when using aes/ebu or coaxial front all my cd transports, but none ever through usb with the Auralic Aries. I have been talking with Alvin Lee and trying all updates he recommended but the problem is... | |
| Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro I certainly knew that the Model 1 need power and current to perform well, but I never thought that the 250w/4 ohms Vincent SV237MK, with is (usually) bass heavy sound signature was not enough! They paired ok but nothing to write home about! I wi... | |
| Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro @ryder sure the M30.2 are a bigger and more capable speakers - they are for years on my “to get” list, but they are a out of my reach for now. This Model 1 are mint used, bought from the Totem dealer, so I got a great price, in fact it was the cha... | |
| Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro @dz13, thanks but I already have the Model 1 and am loving them :) | |
| Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro @akg_ca, it is funny, my dealer has the Rega Osiris always ready for a listen, and for a moment I thought of asking him to connect it to the Model 1 but my wallet conscience stopped me. I knew that I would like it a lot but it is 8000+ euros! I j... | |
| Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro @akg_ca, I didn’t knew about the existence of a Totem integrated amplifier neither the connection with Sim Audio! Thanks :) I have enjoyed all Celeste / Sim Audio / Moon components that I have experienced but never owned any. A few years ago I al... | |
| Totem Model 1 vs Totem Arro @marco1, yes you’re right, if the 9200 is even better than the 8150 then it will be a wonderful thing. @akg_ca, thanks so much for all the information and tips. I had the Chord Odyssey a few years ago, to use with my Naim pre-power amp, but pre... |
