| new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today Thanks Ross I listened to the MA3 at a dealer with the flagship B&W 804? The Mac 600 w amps. Sounded good and the idea of attaching a portable SSD was pretty cool. I do like my current setup. Between the Melco’s filtering and the EtherRege... | |
| new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today How does the attached files sound thru the MA3? I could get rid of a box with my Bricasti M3 and Melco Na combo. | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC Take a look at Melco’s. Not as big on this side of the pond but huge in Europe and Asia. Storage as you need, Roon ready. You can stream thru Ethernet without the use of USB. I have had Aurender and Lumin’s and Melco’s are a step above. | |
| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? I have really enjoyed the Iconoclast 4x4 UPOCCC Gen 2. Absolutely destroyed the top of the line cables fro Audience (SX), Cerious ( Matrix) , Townshend . Separation of instruments and depth between instruments on the stage is what really stands ... | |
| Looking at best option for 20-25k for DAC Streamer combo I have to believe the Cary’s are not going to be what you are looking for. I moved on from a Cary DMS 700 to a Bricasti M3 and they are in different leagues. Cary’s will always sound nice but not get you that last 10% of resolution or dynamics. ... | |
| Gustard R26 on sale Try to find a US distributor. It cost me 240 plus duty to get the famous Musitec Dac back to them. They also wanted to charge a re-stocking. | |

| EtherRegen question Wtb please google Uptone Etheregen. Go to their sponsored forum. You will learn everything you need to know. | |
| EtherRegen question The Melco has an Ethernet in and out. Melco>Etheregen>Bricasti M3. All Ethernet based. No USB Using Roon as a controller . Melco set up as a Nas . Getting the benefits of Melco’s excellent filtering and the ER ‘s magic. | |
| EtherRegen question I believe you will want to run it in between the Antipodes and the Lumin. Check out their sponsored forum for more info. I have mine set up between a Melco server and a Bricasti M3 w/Network card. Sounds great and got a nice little bump by adding... | |
| $5K DAC OPTIONS Take a look at Bricasti M3 w/network card. If you are streaming from the services it is all you need I had a Musetec 005 in the house at the same time and they are not even in the same league. You get rid of issues of USB , Made in America with... |
