| Budget Audiophile Looking For Amplifier Suggestions I have the Parasound A23 and A21. If you can find a good used A21, I would strongly consider it. It would be the last class A/AB amp you will need to buy unless going to a full pure class A. | |
| Yamaha A-s2100 vs A-s1100 Not sure about those particular models but I have had the A-S500 (which I gave to a friend) and currently have the A-S2000 and it is superb. I don't use it for my headphone amp so I can't comment on it but for driving speakers and the build quali... | |
| To reclock or not to reclock The W4S Remedy upsamples everything to 96khz. I do not like this because most of my music is at 44.1khz. Take a look at the Gustard U12 USB interface along with a Schiit Wyrd for a good solution. | |
| Reference level DAC + Streamer Have you taken a look at Cary Audio? | |
| Just wondering... Nice thread ;)Often the price difference is marketing. Like anything else, if you compare expensive dacs, some may sound like their price, others will not. A $32K dac may sound worse than a well designed $1k dac (Lite Dac 60 with a few mods) but i... | |
| Need recommendation for a CD player Go for a used/new Yamaha Cd-s1000. The build quality and the smooth / musical / 3D sound are more captivating than anything Oppo offers. | |
| Looking for a DAC < $1500 Too many to list but I find the Cary Audio 200TS exceeds the sound quality of the Luxman DA-06. | |
| Aragon, Parasound or Bryston Parasound A21. Find a dealer closest to you and then ask them for a discount. There is a reason why this amp is still the current model and won't go away or needs to be updated. | |
| What is the most analog sounding CD player under $ Yamaha CD-S1000 The mellow sound of the BurrBrown dacs sound more analog like. | |
| Is it a problem to have a DAC feeding a DAC? Save your money - Chromecast Audio (optical out) feeding into a reclocker of your choice to your dac. | |
| Cary Audio DAC 200 ts Opinions Sorry to awaken this old thread but in some music content - especially rock, the Cary 200TS beats my Luxman D-06 dac. These two compliment each other very well as the Cary has a bit of a cool sound to it where as the Luxman is warm in the vocals. ... | |
| Please help! - Buy VPI Classic or keep Technics 1200 It is the old SL1200. | |
| Please help! - Buy VPI Classic or keep Technics 1200 Thank you for all the helpful responses, it was a lot to consider. I have decided not to purchase and keep using the Technics until I can verify the amount of improvement a new turntable will provide given the cost. | |
| Is OPPO losing it's way? I don't know about the Oppo Sonica. It uses a switching power supply and from my own experiments that is a big no-no in analog stages. I have also tried iFi audiophile power adapters that uses noise cancelling technology and my $40 linear power ... | |
| The demise of the music CD inevitable? I agree that vinyl will outlast the compact disk. A few years ago I stopped buying cds (except for sacds). I ripped all the cds into my library and packed the discs away. Much easier to handle and search for a song. With SOX upsampling to 176.4... |
