| Back to the DAC Set it up and enjoy. Don’t worry about roon. | |
| Back to the DAC I played around with it. It’s fun for a while and I love it but then it gets old. I still have around 2,000 CDs and a good collection of vinyl. I definitely don’t see myself going back to analog. I had a decent sounding setup though but it was a ... | |
| Back to the DAC CD transport, unless it’s the caliber of Audio Note or Jays Audio, is most likely a waste of money, time and space when you have N200 as a streamer with Bricasti M1S2 dac. You can rip CDs onto SSD and mount it inside the N200. And I would only do ... | |
| Surge protector You sure it’s not the fuse that needs to be replaced? | |
| Puritan 136 vs 156 for simple system @temmple I’ll go back and expand on my original suggestion… You have an $1800 integrated amp and a $1600 DAC. A $2200 power conditioner, upgraded cables or any tweaks be it network or vibration control is putting the cart in front of the horse. O... | |
| Puritan 136 vs 156 for simple system My opinion - instead of dumping cash into power conditioner, upgrade your dac. Install a dedicated line if possible and add better power cords. In this order. A power conditioner isn’t going to magically transform this system. I had PSM156 and mu... | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? The OP mentioned Shunyata Sigma was the power cable. I think that post was removed. Not sure what $500 power cord he’s using though. | |
| How to get AirPlay into my older system. Congrats!!! | |
| Newbie Q about DACs - built in or separate? @tshark how is your luxman sacd player connected to 8900? | |
| Newbie Q about DACs - built in or separate? @tshark McIntosh built in DAC is ok. I suspect the DAC in your luxman cdp is better. You have nice gear. Try running luxman into 8900 using nice XLR cables and evaluate luxman vs McIntosh dac. | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords Np! Trying Heimdall 2 with 60 day policy is a no brainer. I would also try it on the amp and pre. It’s a great cable. | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @immatthewj yep regular 15A IEC plug. Works fine with SA10. And yes sorry not a fan but I think it was more of a synergy and preference since the SA10 gets consistently good reviews. I just didn’t like it in my system. What I like about the Nordo... | |
| Wifi ethernet jack recommendation Mesh network should be a nice solution. I’m using EERO and it is rock solid. | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? 👍 | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @immatthewj just sold SA10 few months ago. Nordost Heimdall 2 was a nice match with it. Opened up the top end a bit and improved clarity. Give it a shot. |
