| For those that have separate Streamers & DACS @phastm3 "that sounds a lot like Dr.Vinyl’s old system…he had that same setup last year" He still sells the Backert Labs and McGary, and yes most of it came from him. | |
| For those that have separate Streamers & DACS @verdantaudio If I'm looking at a streaming solution under $4K, what are the differences between the Bricasti M5 and the Antipodes S30? Pluses and minuses with either? | |
| For those that have separate Streamers & DACS Appreciate all of the responses and opinions. I agree that the DAC choice will have a big impact on the final choice of streamer, and also know that not too many folks actually build their own streamers. Some things I have personally had in my s... | |
| For those that have separate Streamers & DACS Thanks. My only hesitation on the Aurender is its lack of compatibility with Roon, but I hear nothing but good things about them. | |
| My thoughts on the HiFi Rose 150B I demoed the 150 for about a week a couple of months back. I think that some of the assertions that the sound quality is on a par with cheaper options (that don't have all the bells and whistles) is just not true. I thought the 150 sounded a lot... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? Some of you clearly need to head over to ASR and ruminate there. Then maybe this tedious troll of thread would die the quick death it should have. | |
| HiFi Rose RS250 "Wow I am sure glad I went with the Bel Canto e.stream. Not a single issue and a US Company. No fancy color screen just fantastic sound!' Except that the RS150b kind of blows the Bel Canto out of the water from a sonic perspective--and is muc... | |
| Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality. Just saw this thread and glad you are enjoying the rs150b. I borrowed one from my dealer for the week and think it's really, really good. My standard combo is an Innuos Zenith MkIII going into a Border Patrol DAC, which is a great match for my V... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? @jackhifiguy You do you. If the ASR crowd makes you happy, hang there. | |
| Magico A1 or Sopra 1 or Marten Oscar Duo Having heard them all--1) Marten, 2) Focal, 3) Magico The Martens are excellent all around speakers, both the Duo line and the Parker line. I could live with either. Focal has a house sound that is not for everyone. The are noticeably more "al... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. I'd be interested to hear your impressions with the new arm all set up and after some time listening. I had a Classic 1 and decided to get out rather than chasing up the VPI line (to be fair, I already owned two and was looking for something diff... | |
| Review: Pure Fidelity Harmony Turntable Nice review of the Harmony. It's a great turntable that I have been very happy with over the last three or so months that I have owned it. I stuck with the Acoustic Signature tonearm on mine and really like it. I wanted as close to set and forg... | |
| Ifi Zen Streamer plus upgraded power supply - the streamer to beat?? I jumped on the Zen Stream early, so mine came with the iPower included. Mine uses a wired ethernet connection and I use it exclusively in Roon Mode feeding a Chord Qutest DAC (which has an SBooster). I haven't gone crazy comparing and contrasti... | |
| VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class. I got out of the VPI parade last year, so my opinion is that no matter what you change in the VPI universe the house sound is kind of the house sound. A little more of this vs a little more of that. If you like the Classic 2, stay with your curr... | |
| Which amp to use with Linear Tube Audio pre? I have been playing with the LTA Mirozotl preamp paired with the McGary SA-1E amplifier and it's an excellent combination. |
