| Solo streamer @rvpiano I’m very happy with my Aurender N200. There’s no internal storage unless you add it. No upsampling. Has critical listening mode that turns off non essential features including screen. Solid performer. Optimized for USB interface. | |
| Are Pass Labs XA60.8 mono amps enough? Interesting. And even more interesting is how loud that actually is. | |
| Are Pass Labs XA60.8 mono amps enough? Swede…34w into 8ohm and half that into 4? Did you mean to say double that into 4? These amps double their power into 4ohm load so it’s 520 watts per channel into Sabrinas…I would assume it’s 68w into 4ohm in Class A…no? | |
| Preamp or DAC My recommendation would be to stay with the CODA preamp and upgrade the DAC. Your amplifier has 10k ohm input impedance which is pretty low. Tube preamps typically have high output impedance around 600ohm. Even though it meets the 1:10 ratio it is... | |
| Looking for a true upgrade in sound quality No Ethernet or power cable change will give you the performance boost that a DAC will. Bricasti M3 or M1, Chord DAVE used. Get a good USB or AES from Lumin to DAC and you’re set. | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier Cheap chinese rubber power cords with molded plugs don’t scratch IEC connectors. But the good wattgate and furutech gold plated plugs do. And who inspects IEC connectors in their components under the microscope? | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier westcoastaudiophile 249 posts 07-11-2024 at 04:41pm @jfrmusic "Accuphase strongly recommends that you use only the stock cord and so far that has been the best" why not to rely on on Accuphase advice and to start enjoy music? Because ... | |
| Interconnects priority Bimmer…in my experience the best ROI in interconnects is preamp to amp. There are exceptions though. In case of silver/ copper mix, having silver between source and pre and copper from pre to amp always sounded more natural to me. In example I had... | |
| Speaker Cables For $300 Another vote for Satori. Also, another choice you may be able to find an original Audience AU24 used. | |
| Are Pass Labs XA60.8 mono amps enough? More than enough. You’re unlikely to push the amps beyond Class A. And even if you do these amps have enough headroom in A/B to tickle your eardrums. I’m using X260.8 monos with Wilson Sabrina that are notoriously difficult to drive and I almost ... | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier I would say any recommendation within a context of a completely different system and room acoustics, even if using the same amplifier, given unknown personal preferences and perception of good sound, isn’t any more valid than a general recommendat... | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier +1 @lalitk Audience is excellent. I owned several different power cords, interconnects and speaker cables. Their power cords (AU24se-i which were replaced by Studio One) are probably one of the best power cords I ever heard on 3 different DACs. Th... | |
| SimAudio Moon North Collection Cool. Good to hear you found synergy. Good schiit. Hope to hear your thoughts on Moon North! | |
| Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp I prefer the Roon model of a powerful machine on the server end, kept away from the audio system, and a lightweight low powered quiet streamer connected to DAC. This means you can use an ordinary computer at 1/5 the price as your server and its e... | |
| SimAudio Moon North Collection yyzsantabarbara Did you get a chance to compare CODA to the new Moon North? |
