| PS Audio BHK signature preamp @signaforce I am familiar with McIntosh. Coda will be better. More articulate, clearer, more detailed, textured and extended without a hint of harshness. McIntosh will sound warmer and duller in comparison. PS Audio makes decent stuff which is ea... | |
| Chord Hugo TT2 - My experience so far I listened to the western sky on tidal and it sounds fine. No issues. It is either the eversolo or the amp that’s the problem. Is there a factory reset on the eversolo that you can do? Try it. See if it resolves the issue. | |
| Chord Hugo TT2 - My experience so far So this happens only on those songs? You can try eversolo direct into amp and see if it’s behaving the same way. | |
| New DAC suggestions @habrandt what is your budget? On the low end of the price range if you like the Chord sound you can try Chord Hugo TT2 which is more refined than the Qutest with smoother highs, fuller mids and better bass. Only thing I didn’t like with the TT2 ... | |
| Chord Hugo TT2 - My experience so far @pgk188 how is Eversolo connected to Mscaler? List all your cables - brand and model. 1. make sure you only have one type of connection between Eversolo and MScaler Do not have multiple interfaces connected at once. Use only USB to connect the ... | |
| Mark Levinson 534 compared to Pass 350.8 @roxy1927 I would add Pass X260.8 into the mix. I had these amps driving my Wilson Sabrina and they’re outstanding. Plenty of Class A power as well. Good synergy with ARC Ref 6 that I had for few weeks on loan. Unless you really need the power of ... | |
| Chord Hugo TT2 - My experience so far @pgk188 What is your source that feeds the Mscaler/TT2? | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp What @zlone said. If you want more power yes go fir v2 or v3. It’s worth starting with V1 though…Doug can always upgrade your amp to V2 or V3. Give him a call get his take on it. | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp @signaforce I had Coda CSiB integrated that I just sold to my friend. The CSiB is essentially Coda #8 with built in preamp. Amazing integrated…it replaced my Pass Labs separates. I had the V1 and it drove my Wilson Sabrina (notoriously difficult 8... | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp @signaforce I know you’re constrained by space for each component. But here’s a thought…would you be under the same constraints if you replaced separates with integrated? Given you’re always going to be bottlenecked by that amplifier you have, I w... | |
| PC or Nuc? running Roon core No. That’s not what I said. Please re-read my post. Besides, I don’t even know what you mean by I have an old Intel Dell PC in another room running ROON OS. It’s networked via coax to my Gustard r26 How? You have a coax cable from your PC int... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs @milpai yes synergy is key! One other important factor to consider is one’s reference point. | |
| Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW! It happens. He’ll get over it. | |
| Amp for Sopra No. 1 Pass Labs should be fine. X250.8 would be good. Coda No.8 would also be a great amp. Basically Class A/B amps that are biased into Class A for the first few watts. You need a bit of warmth with those tweeters. | |
| PC or Nuc? running Roon core You can keep the Roon Core on 24/7 in another room away from your system. Ethernet connection to Gustard will most likely sound better than USB from a noisy PC or Nuc. In addition, if Nuc is not fanless you will hear the fan while listening to mus... |
