| Which DAC is better? Better... they're DIFFERENT, but only your ears can really decided what is better...Personally, I would say the MHDT Havana is better, but that's because I love the way it sounds. Non-oversampling, tube output, etc. | |
| Electrocompanient EMP-2 vs. Oppo BDP-103 The EMP-2 is basically a modified BDP-103, but that doesn't mean that it's overprice cr*p... There's quite a analog audio path is quite different, the power supply (although based on the BDP-103) is not exactly the same, as you have different comp... | |
| Amp for driving revel salon 2 The best amp for Salon 2 (or any other Revel speaker for that matter) would be a Mark Levinson amp. You can get an ML334 for fairly reasonable money | |
| question on shipping a cd player from overseas?? Commonly, you do need an invoice to ship cargo, but it doesn't need to be commercial. He could write his own invoice. | |
| Used, $1500 and not Oppo... Thanks Audiozen. I've decided to go a different route altogether. MHDT Havana Balanced and CEC TL1 transport | |
| Preamp for magepan 3.7 and Sanders amp combo I would highly recommend taking a look at Eastern Electric Avant. Yes, it's really that good. | |
| Transport for MHDT Havana So, I've decided. It'll be a CEC TL1. I heard one of those years back and really liked how that sounded. Granted, it was with Thiel CS7.2, driven by some very large and expensive VTL's, but that sound was glorious. My experience with the Havana so... | |
| Looking to Upgrade my CDP I would highly recommend a MHDT Havana dac and use your Jolida as a transport. I just bought a MHDT Havana Balanced and have only used it with my Oppo BDP95 as a transport, but man oh man, does this thing sound awesome! I do have a fairly good ana... | |
| Transport for MHDT Havana First time I could spend some serious time with the Havana and IMPRESSED doesn't even come close. First time digital is getting close to the analog purity that I so wanted. Live records sounds like.. live!This thing definitely needs a dedicated tr... | |
| Used, $1500 and not Oppo... Got a MHDT Havana Balanced and OMG! This thing is amazing. It's the first time I've heard digital sound this pure. Live records sound, well, live! And this is with the Oppo as a transport (which will change when I find something suitable). I have ... | |
| Transport for MHDT Havana Elevick, Gopher answered your question quite well. Buying a DAC and sending a less than pristine digital signal to it is kind of like buying a sports car and getting generic tires from Sears... Yes, you can drive the car, and it might even be fun,... | |
| Short review: Eastern Electric Avant I think MSRP is $1750, Morningstar had a special so I paid $1400. I wouldn't the Avant would replace the MiniMax... they're quite different with the MiniMax being very minimalistic. The Avant is a MAJOR upgrade from the MiniMax (much more so than ... | |
| Used, $1500 and not Oppo... I'm planning to use the Oppo in my HT for movies. It's really a great BR player, but I'm not sold on the 2-ch. Modifying it won't be an option. | |
| Advise needed... aka how to replace the Oppo This may be completely off... I'm seriously considering a NOS DAC for the mean time and if I like it, I get a good transport for it, if I don't then I either keep the Oppo as a 2 ch source or I get another CD player... | |
| Advise needed... aka how to replace the Oppo I guess that's just it... The Oppo is good but somehow not engaging. To no ones surprise, I feel much more drawn into the performance when I use my turntable, with the Oppo, well it's more about the sound that the performance... There's nothing wr... |
