| Need Balanced DAC with optical and coaxial inputs for 2 channel home theater system Did I miss something? I thought the Parasound Zdac is only $500, yes the version 2. | |
| PS Audio PWT vs Esoteric X01, 03, 05 players as a transport Just my opinion - I would forget a dedicated transport and rip your discs then playback using your 105 as a streamer, add in a digital reclocker, and your DAC. From my experience, this would have the least jitter phase noise. | |
| Digital Audio Options You may be interested in a network player to stream online music from services such as Tidal or Spotify. You don’t have to setup your own server. Search network music players on Amazon and you will get many choices. They can be priced from $35 suc... | |
| DAC or CD Player. Help! Regarding synergy, there has to be some intelligent decisions made when selecting audio components. For example if you don't like bright / harsh sound, you wouldn't pair a bright sounding dac with bright sounding speakers and use silver plated ca... | |
| DAC or CD Player. Help! OP, if this is a way of asking if you should buy a dac or a cd player, I would personally recommend a dac in this day and age. I can stream most of the music in the world through online streaming services and my own library through a dac that I c... | |
| CD/SACD Player. I know there are many threads but I still would like help. This is an interesting thread as I am having the same dilemma about purchasing a dedicated sacd player. I have a decent system but not as sophisticated as the OP. I am currently using the Oppo 105D and in a second system, the bdp-95 to listen to... | |
| New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better? About after over a week of burn in, the DA-06 now sounds "warm, dense, and clear". It also has some magical sounding properties as the sound is very lush and polite. I was laying down listening to some music streaming from my pc (Foobar using So... | |
| New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better? Thanks for your help Al, I am getting close to 2.3 volts. Yesterday I went out and purchased a hdmi de-embedder. I played DSOTM and the bells at the beginning of the song Time sounded simply stunning. I've never heard them sound so accurate, pu... | |
| New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better? Thank you for all the replies - this was my first post on Audiogon. Great place!almarg: The Luxman does have a 3 plug receptacle. If you look inside, the 3rd or the ground wire is not connected to anything. The Nissyo transformer that I am usi... | |
| New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better? Thats why all those caps are there for. I completely agree that digital devices need very high speed instantaneous current delivery. With the small power draw of the dac, I bet that those big luxman caps are never completely drained. I just did... | |
| New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better? Yeah I read much about using step down transformers. Some say it degrades the music quality others say it increases it. There are several transformers from the plant to my home, not sure why another one would degrade the quality. I dont see how... | |
| New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better? 100s of hours is what I read on forums with owners of the DA-06, not sure what Luxman's policy is regarding burn in. Ive had very good luck with gray market imports. There is no reason for me to believe that this is a counterfeit. The build qua... | |
| New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better? Yes, I am using a Nissyo 550w converter to bring the voltage down to 100v. The DA-06 is a dac and not a cdp. | |
| New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better? It doesnt have any tubes. We had some storms down here in Texas but last night I left the unit on while looping a cd. I will let it play 24/7 for the next month or so as long as the weather doesnt get bad. So far I havent heard the lush magic t... |
