| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts “Digital” sound is also one of the things that cannot be an attribute of the dac for me, but not at the expense of sacrificing on detail and dynamics. Also, not looking for analytical/dry sound. isnrmack, theo...how would you characterize the soun... | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts Oh and I don’t necessarily “need” the extras such as volume control/preamp and a phono in Mytek but if it’s the better dac than the rest, I don’t mind. Looks of the unit not the highest priority. | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts I listen to everything from classical to heavy metal. Amplification - Rogue RP-1 preamp, Rogue ST-100 ampspeakers - Martin Logan Montis. Front end - Rega P2, Mac Mini running Roon Core with Qobuz into Bel Canto DAC-3, library of CD rips on HDD. N... | |
| Turntable and pre-amp advice sought I’d recommend looking into used Rega P2 (latest). I’m running this table with Goldring E3 cartridge. Was running the above combo with Schiit Mani phono pre with great results, until recently purchasing Rogue RP1 with built in phono preamp. The P2,... | |
| Adcom GFP-710 to Schiit Freya - upgrade? Update on my preamp situation...So after all the research, I pulled a trigger on a used Rogue RP-1.It’s been in my system since yesterday. Need to do some more listening prior to concluding whether or not it’s a good fit. | |
| Adcom GFP-710 to Schiit Freya - upgrade? Thanks wolf! Nice system! | |
| Harmonic Technology Interconnects I’m auditioning the Harmonic Tech Recta OS silver RCA interconnects. Running it from pre to amp. Really like what I’m hearing. Nice detail, not harsh. Can’t speak to their older models. | |
| Adcom GFP-710 to Schiit Freya - upgrade? Wolf what’s the rest of your gear? Speakers, source, etc. Thanks! | |
| Adcom GFP-710 to Schiit Freya - upgrade? Wolf...so was Freya an improvement over adcom and vincent?Stringreen...That’s my fear. Can you elaborate | |
| Adcom GFP-710 to Schiit Freya - upgrade? Thanks to all who responded. I know the GFP-710 is not a very common preamp so I didn’t even hope someone would have it and upgraded to Freya. The Adcom is one of those pieces that you cannot really fault for doing anything wrong. I just know I ca... | |
| A look into classical If you like that Mozart disc, then I can recommend you try:1. Mozart Symphony #40, or better yet pick up from the library this double-cd set "Mozart - Symphonies 35-41. Herbert von Karajan, Berliner Philharmoniker"2. Mozart Clarinet Concerto - Sab... | |
| I am sick of cables Personally, what threw me off, is that you mentioned AZ Silver Ref MkII as one of the expensive cables. You current interconnects retail for several times more than the AZs do. And isn't DIY means Do It Yourself? How can a set of cables that you b... | |
| I am sick of cables your system page lists Argento Serenity. Are those the cables you consider inexpensive? | |
| Which music server to buy? I have both the Squeezebox SB3 and Mac Mini. Both running into Bel Canto DAC3. Mac Mini is a better source via a USB cable into DAC than is the SB3 via coax or optical cable into DAC3. I had a Transporter on loan and I am pretty sure Mac Mini woul... | |
| Narrowed speaker selection down to 5 choices Hey Todd,Have you considered Dali MS4? Very nice speakers. You do need to carefully select associated components and cables with the Dalis but you can certainly make these speakers work for you.Dynaudio S5.4 will be very good. Although these are o... |
