| What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's? I have heard many DT speakers (and subs)... they are really great "Bang for the buck" speakers for theater, but that is where it ends. The subs are actually really good - better than most, but still for theater. I mean, they are no JL Audio, but a... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio + REL Strata iii's I have owned several REL subwoofers and still have a pair of REL Storm III's. They are really nice and IMHO the "ST" series are great... I love downfire. The newer REL subs do not do it for me. The Strata is a great sub, I owned one. A pair would ... | |
| AES/EBU, Digital or Coaxial Between Transport-DAC Also Ryder...Get rid of the BPT, a Running Springs conditioner sounds MUCH better. And the most entry level LINN DS will seriously lay waste to that Krell CD player - it will not even be close. | |
| AES/EBU, Digital or Coaxial Between Transport-DAC Ryder...The unit you are talking about is the Klimax DS.... and there is not a CD player on the planet that will compete with it. However, the Akurate DS is about &8k new, I paid under $6k as a demo unit. And even the entry level DS units will... | |
| warm digital cable Mrtennis:You can take ANY transport and ANY DAC, a LINN Akurate DS will trash it, easily. | |
| I am set on all but speakers, need advice on those I have owned several Sonus Faber speakers and found that the Grand Piano Domus towers are a great speaker for the money. Maybe $2600-$3200 used. I owned them as well as the Concertino Domus monitors (also very good). I currently have the orig. (an... | |
| Magico, Aerial, Dali Sonus Faber Cremona will likely sound better than all those three... | |
| is ayre qb-9 dac better than cx7e mp? USB DACs can sound good (I have owned a very nice one), but when I listened to even the entry level LINN DS, it was no contest. | |
| warm digital cable Answer: Do not use a digital cable...Do not use any of those connections or USB DACs, sell your CD player and go discless. The sound will be far superior. A LINN DS unit is a much better sounding solution in one box, all controlled from an iPad an... | |

| Bryston BDP-1 Own one? What DAC are you using? Using a laptop and cables to send your files into a DAC is not a good way to go. The LINN DS units send data from a NAS or PC through a CAT5 and the DS does all the work. Much better solution, all controlled from an iPad and get rid of the CD play... | |
| Sony XA-5400es player...Giant Killer or just Ok? A simple DAC (Wyred 4 Sound) or nicer unit (LINN DS), will trash that CD player in a very big way. And you will not have to touch a CD again either. Do not buy ANY CD player. | |
| Worlds best DAC Everything else in the system being the same... same room, same calble, same power supply, same ambinet temperature, etc., I am not sure how anyone can play a CD on a std. CD player and not hear a pretty decent difference between that and a nice D... | |
| Good speakers under 10K. Used Sonus Faber Cremona |
