| CD ripper Foobar2000 does a nice job of ripping CDs and also works on your computer. Agree about ripping to FLAC (not DSD). | |
| Advice Please On Subwoofer Choices For My Secondary System. What's the size of your room? If it's not too large, I'd suggest adding about $100 - $150 to your budget and look at a small sealed sub, a couple I would check out are Rythmik's L12 or SVS SB1000 or a used SVS SB12-NSD. I picked up a SVS SB12-... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I'm listening to DRIFT Episode 2 “ATOM” on Tidal this morning with headphones. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Hard to go wrong with Alan Parsons Project. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? A hi-res remaster of Whitesnake's Slide It In on Qobuz. Don't ask me why. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Some hometown boys - Girl Trouble - New American Shame. | |
| Tom Petty "Best of Everything" HD download I got so caught up in the emotion of listening to so many great songs that have been a part of my life for so long that the thought "hey, these sound compressed!" never occurred to me. | |
| Best Headphone system under $1000??? The amp in the previous post would be a good buy. I have the M1 HPAP and it's a solid performer. It's only good for connecting source components though, the USB is not very good. | |
| Relaxed, musical DAC around 2k used? For those interested in r2r DACs take a look at MHDT Labs. I picked up an Orchid recently for a 2nd system and really like it. They have a couple of balanced models, no MQA. | |
| Best Headphone system under $1000??? One of the great things about the HD-6XX is that since the HD-600/650 have been around forever there are a lot of aftermarket accessories for them - cables, earpads, etc. Putting some nice earpads on mine made them a lot more comfortable. I didn... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? A copy of Some Girls on orange vinyl. It has the original sleeve with all the celebrity photos. Sounds great! | |
| ARC LS26/27 vs BAT VK31SE I recently purchased an LS 26 for my bedroom system. It replaced a Jolida Fusion and was a big improvement, more detail and dynamics and a very noticeable improvement in the bass region. I've been wanting to swap it out with my Modwright LS 100 ... | |
| Relaxed, musical DAC around 2k used? Every MQA DAC rolls off the highs for PCM music, so something from Mytek for instance would have less upper treble than a Benchmark DAC3B or Chord Qutest (these have neutral sound). I have a Mytek Liberty, and it's a toss up as to whether it or m... | |
| Is OPPO worth the inflated price? Not to me. I paid about $100 more for my 203 than they originally sold for, but 3-4 times? No way. | |
| Best Headphone system under $1000??? @james63 The HD-6XX are $199. |
