| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC I have the red display and like it. The newest display is bluish white lettering/numbers. If there’s no sonic difference, I wouldn’t upgrade. Did Joe say anything about newest version sounding better? | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC @drlou77 cleaner signal coming out of the Phoenix will mean less work for the Bricasti, potentially even better sound! If/when you get the M3 you can experiment with and without the Phoenix in the chain. | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC That’s odd. Something doesn’t sound right there. N100H only has USB out. If you had to reboot the dac it was the dac that had a problem. Just so you know…when you’re running your DAC via coax, the clock in your transport or streamer is one of the ... | |
| McCormack DNA 0.5 vs. DNA 2.0 Deluxe +1 on the recommendation to drop Spotify and switch to Qobuz. as far as the amp upgrade…man that’s a tough one…looking at that system…I would probably add an external DAC between the 851 and a Jumbo Shrimp. The DNA-0.5 is a capable amp and if it ... | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC Good luck Rich! I think this a step in a right direction if you can swing it. Funny how this progressed from a USB device to a new DAC…😂 | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC The design of the M3 is pretty solid. | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC @drlou77 The M3 is in a different league from the Qutest. Top to bottom much more refined. Lower noise floor, more effortless sound and more detailed without being harsh. Treble is pretty sweet on it. About the MDx board…all Bricasti M3 DACs have ... | |
| Recommendation for speaker cable to use with Magico speakers I use and really like the Audience AU24SX speaker cables. There’s a used 2m pair on USAM now. Great sound, and you can probably knock few bucks off the asking. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650029052-audience-au24sx-speaker-cables-spade-to-s... | |
| Aurender or Lumin streamer only? mazian 311 posts 01-01-2024 at 06:56pm If you stream mainly classical music forget the Aurender app as it doesn't know what a composer is. None of the streamer apps can sort qobuz or tidal by composer. But the search works well. | |
| BEST TUBES FOR AUDIO RESEARCH PRE-AMP (LS-16) If you like the Gold Lions, just use them. Not a bad tube at all. For new old stock, hit up Brent Jesse. NOS can get expensive. As to the upgrade…the newer ARC stuff is good. It will be quieter than the LS16. It is a cleaner, less tubey sound tha... | |
| 750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference I didn’t read the entire thread but I saw this post and it didn’t stop me from trying the N200. The test conducted by the OP is flawed in several ways. 1. As already mentioned above the N200 is optimized for USB. The spdif out sounds fine but it’... | |
| DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE TMR has Schiit for $1799. Try it. They have a good return policy. | |
| Aurender or Lumin streamer only? @goose I had the same question. No one seemed to have had a shoot out between the U2 and the N200. I ended up getting the N200. Lumin gives you roon endpoint capability. Its native app is just not good. Despite being a Roon user I wanted to try th... | |
| What use to burn in power cords? I used the adapter to burn in my last power cord on the instant pot. It worked like a charm. I swear the stew was just insane with layers of flavor and amazing separation between the carrots, potatoes and the meat. The meat was dead center and was... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies @rvpiano thank you! Added to my list. |
