| Affordable alternativ to the PS Audio DirectStream DAC Martin, We haven’t been shoving anything down your throat. We mentioned the Lumin as it is an excellent product that many people are raving about and enjoying for both its sound quality and ease of use as well as its price point.Ask a dozen audiop... | |
| Affordable alternativ to the PS Audio DirectStream DAC Jacked From the OPI will try to see if I can audit the T2 Considering the T2 is only a dac/streamer it certainly looks like the OP wants a unit with a built in streamer or it would be doubtful he would have said he would like to take the next ste... | |
| Affordable alternativ to the PS Audio DirectStream DAC Initm, the Benchmark does not sound like any of these dacs.Benchmark sound is much crisper and hyper detailed, the PS, the Lumin especially running DSD mode, and the Aqua are all in the liquid more musical camp.If you want a cheap dac that sounds ... | |
| Affordable alternativ to the PS Audio DirectStream DAC Jburidan, we also sell the Aqua, we have a Formula and a Lascala Mk II on display and we are not going to say they don't sound good.We would also ask you have you heard a Lumin T2 or an X1.The X1 is an extraordinary digital product one of the best... | |
| Affordable alternativ to the PS Audio DirectStream DAC Yes Uberwaltz those are all valid points, in terms of value that is only determined by the listener. We would recommend that the OP listen to a T2 and decide for himself. We are willing to believe he will find the T2 to match the PS and perhaps ma... | |
| Rega P8 with Alpheta 2? Audiojedi, Great point, we are enamoured with the ease you can get a Rega P8 playing music with no muss no fuss.Many people here talk about a very popular turntable that uses a heavy plinith and a unipivot tonearm as being a great table.Many peopl... | |
| Affordable alternativ to the PS Audio DirectStream DAC Jburden,You are free to make any claim you like. However saying that you don't like a particular dac chip is an erronous statement.You are not listening to a dac chip, it is one part of the equation, you have an input board, power supplies, clocki... | |
| Aurender vs. Roon Mrdon and Thyname, the biggest point here is that OCD hifi guy is looking at a screen shot of a product and making a determination about it.This is about as valid a point at looking at a beautiful woman and saying she is going to be fabulous in t... | |
| Affordable alternativ to the PS Audio DirectStream DAC Uberwaltz the OP is talking about the direct stream digital not the Junior as there are no Juniors available which means the Direct Stream Digital with Bridge card is $6,995.00 is it not?$6k or $7k is not $4.5k now is it?Most of the $3k streamers ... | |
| Alert, Warning, and Caution about Modified Components Gentleman, Clearthink's point is not directed at the specific class of modifiers who generally subtitute one higher quality part for another. The modifications done by the person in question is more of a redesign, by adding a new board that may or... | |
| Axpona reviewers perceptions and reality Fleschler, the Magico setups at shows are either respected or not loved.We have never heard a Magico setup yet that we would love to floor, that doesn't mean they aren't good speakers it just means that in our experience they weren't doing it for ... | |
| Affordable alternativ to the PS Audio DirectStream DAC Jes wasnt the Op looking for an alternative in a similar price point that is available?As per sound quality a T2 is more than a match for the Direct Stream digital | |
| Rega P8 with Alpheta 2? We use the Alpheta 2 with our demo P8 and the cartridge is just fantastic, Fast, clean, big soundstage, great bass. The Alpheta 2 is a huge step up from the older Alpheta 1.Hence we tend to recommend the P8/Alpheta combo a lot amazing sound for a ... | |
| Affordable alternativ to the PS Audio DirectStream DAC Yes Fdpdk yes our point exactly.We have been working with Lumin for years and we have never seen a product that is as loved once people get one in their systems.Musical, great feature set, reasonable cost, many available price points. easy to use ... | |
| AXPONA 2019 Best sounding demonstrations HM1 we heard the same demos and came away with very different opinions than you, as you seem to aquate high price with higher levels of performance.All the Magicos sounded similar which was way too dry, you may find them accurate but most of the d... |
