| Just switched from McIntosh C2500/2600 to ARC Ref 6, initial thoughts It’s been a while since I looked at this post, but I can see where you were confused - I never used a separate amp (emotiva or otherwise) because the amps are built into my speakers (class D solid state) and they were the one constant through the ... | |
| Just switched from McIntosh C2500/2600 to ARC Ref 6, initial thoughts I wanted to try something different. After 12 months of trying something different, I think I’d rather have stuck with what I had. It happens. | |
| Just switched from McIntosh C2500/2600 to ARC Ref 6, initial thoughts So, I actually changed to a c1100 recently - swapped my Ref 6 with another guy last year. I also switched out the XMC-1’s DAC with a DAC2X I found at a good price (and then swapped that out for an XDS1). The C1100 is a very nice looking system. ... | |
| Just switched from McIntosh C2500/2600 to ARC Ref 6, initial thoughts If anyone has a C1100 in the DC area, and wants to do an A-B comparison, let me know. I'll make my setup available. | |
| NAD M50.2 Power cycle worked. Also, select network standby in the settings on the front panel of the system. | |
| NAD M50.2 It's been a while, so I figured I'd update this thread:1) The NAD M50.2 has gone through some software upgrades. Along the way it picked up DSD decoding ability!The funny thing is, it doesn't work with the iOS app (on iPhone or ipad), and I assum... | |
| Trying to Decide on my next Purchase As an M50.2 owner since January, I cannot recommend this product to any serious music listener. The excellent hardware features are more than negated by truly horrible software support. 1) since the 2017 fall creator’s update, Windows 10 users hav... | |
| CD/SACD player output options It looks like there are many CD players with XLR output, but I just want to make sure that I'm correct when I say that SACD output (DSD) does not work over the AES/EBU link. If you're listening to an SACD over XLR, you must be listening to the re... | |
| CD/SACD player output options Forgive me, but then the digital output is only for your redbook CD, right? You can’t transmit the DSD data on an SACD via AES/EBU. The Mcintosh units, for instance, specifically state that you need to use the MCT DIN for the DSD data. If you ar... | |
| NAD M50.2 It is, but It still doesn’t seem to support DSD. It also didn’t update the samba protocol to smb2, so the file shares still aren’t showing up on my network. I’m not entirely sure what it did, but if you believe the readme.txt file, it “improves HD... | |
| High End Ethernet Cables ....Real Deal or Snake Oil It depends what people like to wear.Fancy network cables are similar or just about same as fancy shoes, jeans, dress, jewelry.Sir, thank you for a good chuckle. | |
| NAD M50.2 To clarify, I mean I just can’t access my music via explorer any more. I can access my stored music fine through the BluOS app on my phone or the BluOS connect application in Windows. I just can't access the .FLAC files directly.Samba1 can be re... | |
| NAD M50.2 Funny story, I just went to my network shares and tried to access the music. Can't.Windows 10 does not accept files shared via the samba protocol, you must use samba2. So, file shares no longer work. I can't check your error (or access my music a... | |
| Preamp to Headphone transformers? Had a chat with Mr. Tutay, learned a lot. Bottom line, there’s no way to drive headphones off a preamp. As almarg noted, it’s just not the right instrument.I guess I’ll have to get a headphone amp. | |
| Preamp to Headphone transformers? Thank you very much for the info. Yeah, the minimum impedance on the old radio/headphones transformers was 600-20k, which is massive...and as you noted, the output voltage might be too weak. I’ll contact Mr. Tutay. Much appreciated! |
