| Yamaha ns 5000 @yyzsantabarbara In Singapore. | |
| Yamaha ns 5000 The NS3000 and NS5000 are amazingly neutral and fast, but out of these two for near field I would choose NS3000. I’ve heard these two near-field in all Yamaha setup with Yamaha CD-S2100 and AS-2200. These setups sounded very live front-row seat e... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @soix I am using Windows 11 and the Douk is plug and play. I connected the Douk to my Pegasus using cheap AmazonBasics HDMI cable and it worked like a charm. The Douk will appear as XMos XS1-U8 on your Windows so make sure you select it as the sys... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? For most DACs it seems that I2s or Coaxial are always better than direct USB. I have been using this with my former Pegasus and current Lab 12. It’s the cheapest and fuss free way to provide I2s and Coaxial from a desktop. https://www.amazon.com... | |
| Need suggestions on efficient book shelf speakers for a Pass Labs XA3.5 If you can wait a little a couple months more, the first batch of Epos is supposedly shipping out next month and according to a local dealer who actually heard it in Munich, there's simply nothing else better at that price point. 3K - 8K new sho... | |
| 12 inch subwoofer overkill for desktop setup? @big_greg Honestly I am hard-pressed to think what to improve in my setup. My recent DAC purchase provided that final bit of upgrade that finally brought my setup to sound as equal as showroom setups costing easily 4-5X more. So from now on, I und... | |
| 12 inch subwoofer overkill for desktop setup? @soix pretty big, 1.8 m length table. @noromance don't think I will delve into multiple subs. Too many cables. @big_greg @elliottbnewcombjr The Riga was bundled with Santorin 30-500 sub when it was launched a decade ago, the way Cabasse intende... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @charles1dad I've heard Wavedream and La Scala MKII first during my search. I was more or less set on getting La Scala then I've heard the Lab12. The Lab12 sounded more detailed and musical than La Scala at less than half the price, it was a no br... | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range @phastm3 The Teac 701N is pretty good, though at this price point you might want to give Rockna Wavelight a listen too because it has an analog preamp too. I've heard good things too about SPL Director MK2 which is also at this price point. I plan... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @daledeee1 I was curious to test Lampizator tube DACs, but have not gotten around to it yet because the local dealer was quite out of the way. The simple reason that we keep hearing Denafrips and Musician being recommended is simply because they h... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @viethluu with R2R DACs, you will enjoy music more and not worry so much about the source. Seem like you are set on Aquarius, it is an excellent R2R to start with for sure. Do give Lab12 DAC1, Rockna Wavelight, and Aqua La Scala a listen too if yo... | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano I am a full-time trained classical pianist who still regularly perform on various grand pianos so let me chip in on this discussion. I think the bare minimum speaker I've heard that is decent to listen to piano was ATC SCM19 though it's slightly ... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @arafiq the Aquarius is basically a clone of Denafrips Terminator. Musician is an original brand created by the company that develops and manufactures Denafrips stuff in China, that is why Musician and Denafrips’ stuff look nearly identical. Dena... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @viethluu My experience of listening to B&W speakers were that they were a tad on the bright side. Is it possible to borrow an Aquarius to test it at your home? IMO, the Aquarius might work better with speakers and gears that are more laid b... | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range @phastm3 Well, it's less than one third the price of the Weiss, why not just get another one for a secondary setup? I had the pleasure of doing an A/B comparison of Sonnet Morpheus and the Lab12 DAC1 because they were carried by the same dealer... |
