| Lumin vs Auralic Motopatinait all comes down to how far you want to go. The NAD C658 is shockingly good and is way better than the Bluesound Node it also has real connections xlr and rca outputs, more inputs etc.The NAD c658 also adds in Dirac room correction as w... | |
| Paradigm Persona series Trudat, your naivity shows through.There are many speakers above $2k that will sound good with most electronics, however, most $2k to $10k speakers don’t have the same level of resolution, how do we know we sell many of them: we sell Elac Adantes,... | |

| Battle of the maxi all in one integrateds: Naim Uniti Atom vs Nad M10 The C 658 use the ESS sabre dac and it sounds fantastic. The combination of the littel STA 9 plus the C 658 is one of the best value to dollar combinations we have ever seen.The C658 Blue Sound Streamer MQA combatible ... | |
| Suggest a dac only (no analog preamp or phono) that does WQA better than the node 2i? The Mytek Brooklyn + will easily outperform a Blue Sound Node 2i.We sell both. Also you can trade in your Node 2i and get a Lumin D2 which will also sound way better.The Ifi Dsd pro also sound amazing, shitty app, and some issues but sonically ama... | |

| Vandersteen Model 1 or Focal 726 We don't sell either. Here is our take on the two:Vandy's smoth recessed top end, warm midrange, slightly underdamped bass response. Very musical, a bit recessed on the top big soundstage not great image placement.Focals: More detailed top end, a ... | |
| Paradigm Persona series Steve with any reference grade loudspeaker you do not get the drop and plob sounds great trick. Most truly high resoltion loudspeakers will only come alive with the right group of components.Ask Brownsf, one of the posts which was deleted by the m... | |
| Paradigm Persona series No Cotuzzi dialed in is not placement, dialed in the combination of electronics, cabling, digital, vibration isolation, power conditioning, roon tuning. Right now we are in the process of retuing due to the addition of the Innous Statement. When y... | |
| Paradigm Persona series Nabcs we just put out an Innous Statement the difference in musicality is huge with the Persona 9H yes this is an expensive servers just shy of $14k however once you hear one you will not believe that digital can sound this much like analog.And ye... | |
| Lunim T2 vs Cary Audio DMS 600 Lumin super sound quality, great definition, rock solid reliability super customer service fantastic app.New T2 can also be used as a USB transport to allow for future dacs a very cool addition. Cary good sound very flexible, sonically not as amaz... | |
| Paradigm Persona series Yes Ahofer, the Kef Ref 5 did sound very realistic, you could have gotten the smaller Ref 3 same sound but smaller in size. The difference between the two setups you heard is totally different electronics a tube preamp and a solid state amp is goi... | |
| Paradigm Persona series We can understand why you like the Maggies, they are much softer in the midrange, and present a much bigger overall size of image. Personally we have been through the panel world with Quads, and Maggies and they never sounded as realistic as the b... | |
