| Integrated amp for tube lover I had both the CSIB and the Boulder 866 at the same time. Both excellent but different amps. Coda is clear, fast and detailed with great articulation. Boulder 866 is slightly more refined but just as transparent. The 866 is just a tad bit warmer a... | |
| LTA Aero verses Holo May KTE Never heard either one of these but the reviews on May state there’s a brief silence in the beginning of a track if used with USB cable. May be I misunderstood it but worth looking into if you are considering this dac. | |
| Grislybutter anyone? A discussion about an audiogon member who’s MIA turns political. Good old audiogon…. By the way for those who are genuinely curious about @grislybutter can do a member lookup, find him and send him a message. | |
| Network Switches @tshark I don’t doubt switches make a difference. The difference though can be either positive or negative. I have a very good dedicated streamer and a dac with a a tried and true network card. The difference between using a dedicated streamer fee... | |
| Meitner MA3i DAC Review What Ethernet cable are you guys using with your Meitner? | |
| Meitner MA3i DAC Review Thanks @sfpeloton ! I’ll keep you posted. | |
| Meitner MA3i DAC Review @sfpeloton I just got it on Tuesday earlier this week. I have about 70hrs of play time on it. Preliminary results are positive but I will hold off on jumping to conclusions at this time as I can still notice changes in how it sounds. It’s going th... | |
| Meitner MA3i DAC Review @buzz cool. I don’t think it’s of any use because screensaver kicks in after two mins and you have whatever roon remote you use where this info is displayed. So if it was removed to reduce noise I’m all for it!!! | |
| seeking pure streamer.....Aurender A1000 vs N150 as a streamer only? Then get n200 if you like to rotate dacs. Why waste money on A200 that’s most likely inferior to N200 as pure streamer when you swap dacs. | |
| seeking pure streamer.....Aurender A1000 vs N150 as a streamer only? N200 USB is superior to its coax out. If you have a dac with excellent USB circuitry and good clock then use USB. As to A200 vs N200 - no they’re not the same and A200 is not N200 with a free dac. Here is N200 And A200 below | |
| Meitner MA3i DAC Review Never mind checked the manual and got my answer - track information will not be displayed on screen while connected to Roon Strange but OK. I can’t read it from my listening chair anyway | |
| Meitner MA3i DAC Review Is the feature that was available with the original MA3 where a Roon track info was displayed on the DAC screen now gone in the MA3i? | |
| Finally! I Made An Informed Choice @nubiann congrats! I highly recommend you try Roon though. Lumin UI is pretty bad. Compare sound quality between using lumin as roon end point vs lumin native app vs tidal connect or qobuz connect. If I’m not mistaken the latest roon update or fe... | |
| Pass Labs XA-25 vs XA-30.8 amplifier Pass stuff is super reliable. They also have exemplary customer service. I wouldn’t worry about warranty. | |
| Pass Labs XA-25 vs XA-30.8 amplifier I’ll start by saying I am not familiar with your speakers and I never heard XA-25. I owned XA-30.8 and upgraded to X260.8 mono amps. I used XA-30.8 with Martin Logan Montis and Wilson Sabrina speakers. Preamps were XP-12 and XP-22. I can charac... |
