| Luxman owners I had the exact same amp/pre and I went on the hunt for a DAC recently. You can see the journey here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/advice-needed-it-s-time-for-a-new-dac I ended up selling the C-10x and spending the money on ... | |
| Updating my streamer @skids I stand corrected! That's a new (to me) feature and something VERY welcome (IMHO)! | |
| Updating my streamer "Our internet is prone to dropouts despite being high speed. The Audivarna and Gustard would sometimes stutter as a result. Not often. The Innuos must have a huge buffer because I can unplug the router and it just keeps playing. " @sls883 That'... | |
| Updating my streamer For me, I believe the best value out there is a used, high end Lumin (like a U1). You can get them for about 0.35 on the dollar and the power supply is really great. I bought one about a year ago becuase my Mac Mini (which was my streamer) had a... | |

| Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC That's cool @audphile1 !! Though, I don't envy the search that lies ahead of you! I took me MONTHS to settle on one. Hopfully you find yours faster than I did mine. If you don't mind me asking (and I am just being nosy here) what do you have c... | |
| Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC @audphile1 So full disclosure, I used to own the M1 about 8-9 years ago when I was a headphone user. I really loved the DAC at the, especially with the HD600's connected directly to the balanced out's. Because of my fond memory of it, I wanted t... | |
| Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC @audphile1 It is the current MK2. It was loaned to me by a dealer (In Canada there are PS Audio dealers). | |

| Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC Sure @mclinnguy . I took A LOT of notes when I auditioned but here's a very brief summery. Please keep in mind, if anyone loves one of the DAC's below, that's cool. Below are MY OPINIONS. Not fact. We are all different and have differen... | |
