| Node 2i to U1 Mini with Yggdrasil? I ordered the NT-505 direct from Teac/Onkyo. It was an open box, but guaranteed and was under $1300. I figure it is worth the try and I am pleased to see the comments on the performance. I’ll be running it via balanced outs into my MA8900. I’m exc... | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV Take a deep breath. It was one hobbyist making a review and mentioning the damage and rust. One person. This was the first review where I heard of this and I would hope that JBL would step up and make a statement regarding the issue. It will not d... | |
| TEAC NT-505 impossible connecting to WiFi router o such LAN: help me please? I have been waiting for some talk about this unit. With the exception of Silvio's issues is it a good DAC/Streamer? Does it fully "unfold" the MQA from tidal? I would be running it via balanced connections into my McIntosh MA8900. | |
| McIntosh MA8900 DAC.....What chipset? The 5300 lacks the Autoformers and McIntosh has not bought into the MQA licensing issues. As a result I stream Qobuz and Amazon Ultra for Hi Res. | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? I have yet to see anyone really dropping prices. In fact, I think there is plenty of wishful thinking by many sellers on here as well as US Audio mart. | |
| What would you say is THE MOST important factor to good imaging? Utter nonsense. If you can’t get horns to image, you are doing something wrong. And horns are a lot more directional than planars. You are very confused.Amen to that Ozzy. | |
| Bass at your ears? (Bass imaging) Can one surmise that $53,000 speakers could be at least partly responsible? | |
| Magico A3 vs Magico S1 MK2 Where does one even buy these wonders of the universe? I just checked out the Magico site and couldn't find a link to a distributor or sales (well, accept for their T-Shirts and accessories). | |
| Focal 1028Be or JBL L100 classics (your choice) Thanks for the tips guys...keep them coming. If I went with the JBL's I would have to go with the orange grills....can't get more retro than that. I am concerned the L100's will not give me enough of a "bass punch" and be able to dig deep enough. ... | |

| McIntosh MA8900 DAC.....What chipset? That was quick. I just heard back from someone and the chip set that is in the DA1 Module is the ESS Sabre ES9016. That seems to be a very capable chip set. Shipping now is the DA2 which can upgrade some of the new(er) McIntosh units and I was tol... | |
| McIntosh MA8900 DAC.....What chipset? Thanks guys! I am debating upgrading with DAC like a Lumin Streamer (T2) or something else for pulling those "duties". | |
| does MacBook Pro need a DAC? I run a USB Audio to my McIntosh MA8900 and it works fine. Not the best out there for sure (given the limitations of the MacBook) but it is affordable until I get a better solution. | |
| Somebody knows these speakers brand and model? Do they double as a home dehumidifier? | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Steve Miller Band “Fly Like an Eagle” - Qobuz HiRes. |
