| Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated No point arguing this. That description was inaccurate and you even back pedaled that one. So let’s move on | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC Used, I think somewhere between $425-$450 for 1m would be a decent priced including shipping etc. | |
| Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated @erik_squires I get you don’t like Pass. You’ve just upgraded to a new level though by calling it “scratchy” sounding. Even lean it isn’t. That’s pretty funny. | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC @drlou77 I would say the Mirage is definitely a decent cable. I liked it when I had it. Are there better USB cables? Definitely. When I tried Audience AU24SE+ and compared it to DH Labs, there was no way back to the Mirage. Now, that was with the ... | |
| A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio Back to Upscale… Bought a few things from them online ranging from streamers to cartridges and phono amps. There was an extremely minor snag with the streamer being out of stock when their system indicated that they had it. Kevin stepped in and h... | |
| A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio thecarpathian 3,901 posts 01-18-2024 at 05:59am "adviCe" "advise" means "to give advice." My advice to you, @thecarpathian , is to see if you can monetize your GPS. Make a couple of bucks proofreading news articles and 💩 like that.... | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC @drlou77 more than one change at a time? Unacceptable!!! 😂 I’m guilty of the same sin! Enjoy!!! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. | |
| Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated @eclumsden I’m running Pass Labs with Wilson Sabrina. No issues and no complaints. Current amps are X260.8 mono blocks. Prior to these a single XA30.8 was driving the Sabrinas. Yes the X260.8 have more common control of the speakers but even the X... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference @tonywinga I also couldn’t believe the difference the streamer made when I got the Aurender N200. I’m using AQ Tornado HC power cord on it, which is essentially designed for use with power amps, with excellent results. I found, time and time again... | |
| New streamer If going with Lumin, stretch it to either a used U1 or a newer used U2. The power supply is much better than in the Minis and overall the streamer is much better. Not worth it getting the Mini and investing in the outboard power supply. The Aural... | |
| What affects front to back depth in room/ system? @veerossi adding to my earlier post. Now that I saw your system….very nice! But I’m afraid, in addition to room acoustics, lack of preamp is contributing to the soundstage limitations you’re experiencing. | |
| What affects front to back depth in room/ system? Your perception of depth of soundstage is most likely negatively impacted by the first reflections (side walls, ceiling). Also, adding bass traps will help solidify the soundstage. When your brain needs to process sounds bouncing off every reflect... | |
| Nordost repair I’d be curious to know what the Nordost guys say. Please keep us posted. | |
| Add Chord Cutest (DAC) to Bluesound Node or purchase HiFi Rose RS150BDAC Qutest is an excellent DAC. Go used and allocate some funds for a good USB cable. | |
