| Streaming Quality Test - Lumin U1 vs. PS Audio Direcstream DAC vs Bridge II Helomech,On a well setup system the differences especially in dacs, should be quite large unlesss both dacs are of a similar quality, then the differences come into play in terms of soundstaging, resolution, musicality and tonality.We sell and dis... | |
| The big DAC decision Notubes there are a ton of dacs that offer the wamth of vinyl.The Aquahifi line of dacs do, so does Metrum, Audio Note and many other dacs that are voiced musically.The Nquist is a lovely dac and we are not saying either one of these dacs is bette... | |
| The big DAC decision The Nyquest is excellent however at $18k it is $5k more then the Lumin and it doesnt have a FPGA archecture which allows for instant upgrading.Like the Nyquest Lumin offers board based upgrades.Nor does it have the superb Lumin app.Bettering Nagra... | |
| The big DAC decision Guys the Lumin is an excellent choice.In one simple elegant box you have everything you need. The X1 is both a streamer and a Dac.It accesses everything you could want and it is backed up by a very large stable company. Sonically you would have to... | |
| Vitus Ri100 with Dyns Good Combo? The A21 is your weak link the JC 5 would be better, however the entire setup of preamp and amp would be bettered by moving into an uber integrated from Vitus, Gryphon or T+A.The Vitus gear does tend to sound warm, which may not be a good thing wit... | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system Jim, hate to disagree with Auxinput, never heard a current crop of Japanese receivers that I would say are musical and I don’t know how Auxinput came to his conclusion, based on hearing them where and under what conditions at a Best Buy with their... | |
| Anyone Here Have Experience With The Krell Phantom III Pre-amp? Go for it | |
| Anyone Here Have Experience With The Krell Phantom III Pre-amp? Actually yes depending on the resolution of the system. The Adcom gear is very decent for the price but there is no way that a design built for that price will have the clarity of a better preamp.The real question is why just the Krell over the zi... | |
| Thinking of Kef Blade 2 to replace Revel Salon 2 I do agree that on paper those measurements do make it seem that the Kef Blades do not go that low, the reality is they do. When you feel the pressure that is being generated by 4 of those bass drivers and the bass is locked into the room the Blad... | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? uberwaltz you can easily do everything you are talking about you have your wiring scheme a bit wrong if you wanted to use an amplifier like the Synthesis A100t which does have an excellent built in coax spdif dac along with USB. GoldNote ph10 phon... | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? We sell the Synthesis A100T Which has much of what you are asking for100 Watts Kt66 powerBuilt in Dac with usb and spdifDesigned and built in Italy it sounds fantastic.Doesnt have xlr but you can use adapters to convert Xlr to RCA adapter that Car... | |
| Ayre AX7e vs Hegel H160 Personally we think you can do better for not that much more money.Look at the Micromega M100 which offers similar connectivity to the Hegel with an even wider feature set.The Micromega has a better dac that supports all high res files, has a buil... | |
| The big DAC decision There are many superb dacs out there and your headphones are excellent.The easiest way to know is to borrow a great dac and then listen to the improvments it makes in your system if you can hear and appreciate the difference wether or not it is a ... | |
| Another positive review of the Audio Doctor in Jersey City. NJ Brrgrr,So far the T+A gear has outperformed, Electrocompaniet Monos blocks, CJ ART and Gat, Devialet D400 Monos, and Chord gear.We really haven’t found any combination of electronics which have sounded better.In terms of power, yes the speakers ar... | |
| Have l become unstable? The ATC SCM 40 are fantastic loudspeakers and are very dynamic. The issue with your current setup is not enough power to get you the dynamics and liveness you crave.The ATC three way have a better image, with a stunning midrange that is neutral a... |
