| Capital AudioFest : Fyssion Speakers I'll check them out tomorrow. | |
| Sonore Opticalrendu vs Auralic Aries G1.1 Thanks for the input. I'm going to see if I can set up a demo for the opticalrendu over the weekend. | |
| Review: Pure Fidelity Harmony Turntable @dodgealum Interesting about the motor change. I'm not sure my dealer knows that, he mentioned it's just a cable change to the motor. Not sure the new speed controller is worth the $2K asking price, but I will get to ask more questions at the C... | |
| Review: Pure Fidelity Harmony Turntable So it’s actually a different motor with the new speed controller box? | |
| Rebadging of Streaming Platforms @oltmb Thanks, I think you got closer to what I was asking than anyone else. I have a feeling there are two or three companies providing the streaming capability in all kinds of high end components. Interesting that the image under HiFi is a Nai... | |
| Rebadging of Streaming Platforms @fittebd No, not at all. | |
| Rebadging of Streaming Platforms @curiousjim It was Andrew Robinson in a Q&A. But I have two dealers who also make the same point, which is their way of saying the DAC is more important. | |
| Rebadging of Streaming Platforms @facten I think that's the more on-point observation--none sound the same. Picking out which is better is often a lot more difficult for me than noticing the actual differences. It often seems they are trading one trait for another and it all co... | |
| Rebadging of Streaming Platforms @ghdprentice It's obvious that you actually have no idea what I think, just jumping to all kinds of conclusions. No need to jump on the bits is bits defense, I don't think that at all. I do think I would be much more likely to spend money on a D... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 @gregjacob If you have Daedalus speakers and aspire to LTA electronics, reach out to Nichloas at LTA. He owns Daedalus speakers and I know he has had extensive time with the Lampizator and the Holo Audio May DACs (and probably others). I own a ... | |
| Rebadging of Streaming Platforms Everybody jumps to conclusions about the original post, but nobody has actually answered the question. I think the analogy that might best fit here is CD-Players. Yeah there are all kinds of DACs, power supplies, and other things that go into th... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 +1 for the Merason DAC1. It's towards the analog end of the spectrum while having a lot of detail, a very wide soundstage and excellent bass. Some folks love to focus on resolution, but I find that once you hit a certain level, more resolution i... | |
| This is purely subjective opinion. Aqua LaScala/ Atma-Sphere Class D I've not heard the Atma-Sphere amps yet, but the other GaN amps I have heard (Technics G2700M2, Technics R1000, AGD Adion monoblocks) are all exceptional. | |
| Jeff Rowland Aeris DAC Seeing as how you are hunting for a DAC, let me throw one more into the mix--the Merason DAC1. It only does 192 and no MQA so skip it if those are important to you. I auditioned it against the Weiss at my dealer's place a couple of times and too... | |
| WEISS 501-502 DAC I think there is a belief that DACs have gone through huge improvements over the last ten years and the prices in the resale markets tend to support that. Honestly, if you audition something in your system and like it, that should be enough. A g... |
