| The Cable Company advice? Shunyata makes very nice cables and power conditioners. Synergistic is excellent as well I’m sure for some systems but it’s just not my cup of tea. I am sure the profit margin on both brands makes it a top recommendation for them. My suggestion w... | |
| Pass Labs xa-25 or Coda Continum #8 Not to derail the thread but have you heard of anyone blowing the Acme fuses? I notice a warning in the product page. That would require a real pro. They’re just too tiny. | |
| The Cable Company advice? TCC will push Synergistic and Shunyata in that price range. But they will eventually include other brands into the conversation. The SR cables I tried I never liked despite their tuning devices really making a difference (gold bullet, silver bulle... | |
| COAX Cable Recommendations.... need some glitter I recently tried Audience FtontRow Reserve coax cable and it kicked butt in every department. Clarity, smoothness, details, bass, stage, etc. It’s very expensive though. If you can find a used one, grab it. | |
| Are the Chord dacs still top tier being they are 10 years old now? The DAVE is a bit long in a tooth now. I’ve not tried it but it’s been uniformly praised. I had the Qutest and the Hugo TT2. Didn’t care much for the TT2. Liked the Qutest. | |
| New DAC - better low resolution digital music performance? Better DACs provide better low level details. There’s better focus and layering but the images in the soundstage always grow bigger as volume goes up. As to timbre and tone, it is definitely more refined with the higher end DACs.

| Puritan vs IsoTek vs inakustik If you have your amplifier plugged in to IsoTek start with trying the amp plugged into the wall directly. Keep the isotek for source components only. I would even plug the ARC preamp directly into the wall as well. Try it. If you insist on using ... | |
| Should I get the Moon 891 streamer/dac/preamp for my Moon 861 amp? Or separates? @dman777 that’s right. You should work with a dealer that will let you demo the DAC at home in your system. | |
| Should I get the Moon 891 streamer/dac/preamp for my Moon 861 amp? Or separates? DAC will make a huge difference in that system. Let’s start with what you can audition. What’s available from your local dealers or dealers that can send you a component for auditioning in your system. Don’t blind buy. You will get on a merry go r... | |
| Denafrips offer to replace my faulty Pontus 15th, for a replacement fee? Good to hear it’s over. With this kind of approach to customer service they won’t be around too long. | |
| Giant ads on threads Prime ads blocking the entire screen very annoying | |
| Thoughts and suggestions please @goodlistening64 that’s cool man. Enjoy the music! | |
| Experience with SoulNote Dac2? @zlone Meitner MA3 is a more detailed, faster and more engaging sounding DAC than the Bricasti M3. I had the MA3 in my system for 2 weeks. I then ordered MA3i and sold my Bricasti. Meitner sound is airy, detailed and laid back. It takes a few days... | |
| Experience with SoulNote Dac2? @bluethinker awesome! Glad you’re trying the new dac in your system. I’d recommend taking your time with it at least 3-5 days if possible. Let it all sink in and settle down. |
