| Worlds best DAC 'Charles, most people who own SOTA vinyl and digital concurrently favor vinyl (Mike L. for example). Beyond that, people I trust who have nothing to sell still feel master tape is king. If digital works for you, great. Its a matter of goals and ex... | |
| Music Servers-Why so few? I owned an Auraliti and its quite good - but my Mac Mini running Audirvana was clearly better as a source.The reason I think there are so few Music Servers is a Mac Mini and a Ipad Mini as remote is really good, very convenient, fairly cheap and a... | |
| Worlds best DAC Just to add spice to this my Killer DAC was just completed yesterday and I went over to hear it at the place of the person that made it for me - he posts under the name of Rawl where I am in Australia.This is a very special hand built DAC with a c... | |
| Worlds best DAC 'Bhobba, which PD dac was demoed? The 3 or the 5? According to everyone in the know, PCM is not its strong suite, so any comparison is strawmanish especially if you have no equivalent digital transport and software upstream. This seems to be one a... | |
| $5k DAC....Will A $500 cd Transport Get It Done? Unfortunately you need a top of the line transport - it makes a big difference with a good DAC.I personally would get a dirt cheap DVD player and Steves syncromesh at an all up cost of basically the syncromesh at $599.00 because these days DVD pla... | |
| Worlds best DAC Since all audio systems are colored (cost no object), I personally prefer coloration that is closest-to-real. :-)Heard that one before. It looks like the way to go on the surface. Trouble is exactly what coloration is closer to real is a rather sl... | |
| Worlds best DAC Alex Peychev wrote:'This just proves the fact that "best component" is only a synergy between all components in a given audio system. :-)'Oh boy is that true - but it goes way way beyond that.Checkout the following review of a speaker that I lent ... | |
| Worlds best DAC The DAC shootout will only be the DAC's I mentioned.If someone wants to send a Lampi Level 7 to the Gold Coast drop me a line and it can be included.These are privately owned DAC's and represent the best 4 DAC's I have heard in my quite extensive ... | |
| Worlds best DAC The Playback Designs does pure DSD and converts PCM to DSD.The Phasure eats it alive using PCM. Its closer via DSD but the Phasure is still clearly better.Prior to the Phasure the best sound I had heard was DSD using the Playback.The DAC shootout ... | |
| Worlds best DAC No mate - haven't heard the Lampi or done any comparisons with it.I did hear of one with a PDX and another DAC I cant recall with the Lampi - the PDX won that one.I have a big DAC shootout coming up - the best 4 DAC's I have yet heard - the Killer... | |
| Worlds best DAC Had a look at the review of the pre-amp - then the price.Guys - get a grip on reality here.Its easy to drool over mega priced gear and think because of the price tag it must be the best.However in practice I can assure you it's far from the truth.... | |
| Worlds best DAC Best by what measure? Whose ears?Just yesterday I compared a $2.5K DAC to a $5K DAC. I heard the 2.5K DAC first - beautiful, musical lovely sound. Slightly shy in the bass but really nice to listen to. Then we put on the $5K DAC - in every way it ... | |
| Looking for a high-quality 2-way speaker I personally haven't compared them, but know someone who has.The Rockport's were the winner - highly musical and realistic - the Magico was dry, analytical and brittle - and the YG was similarly analytical. The Raidho was was better, but still did... | |
| Still mystified by mega expensive power cords Its a filtering effect. If you put a spike suppression filter in your power supply it to has to travel through all that mains etc etc - and it works.No need to be mystified - unless you are an engineer you probably don't understand how other Hi Fi... | |
| Loudspeaker Cross-Overs and the Recording Arts Its more likely price - there is generally a 1 to 10 markup between what you pay in a store and cost of parts. Save $10.00 and you can sell for $100.00 less.ThanksBill |
