| DAC suggestions what ever you have just sent them to me for upgrades. Happy Listening | |
| Isn’t the forum to post reviews of gear you have experience with? Blind testing has nothing to do with anything. IMO either you hear a difference - hopefully significant or you don't. If you don't hear a difference that you prefer in your own system, then move on. We have a simple rule when we demonstrate our... | |
| Most Extensive State-of-the-Art DAC Survey Ever! Since Rx8man owns one of the DACs we manufacturer, he has had the opportunity to understand what makes a DAC sound the way it does. The separate power supply is around 25 pounds. The R2R DAC is surrounded by higher quality parts then are in the hi... | |
| Aurender N200 We have both in our Listening Room. Is the Aurender better, sure. But the bigger improvement is the external DAC. One DAC is the one we manufacturer, the other is the Audio Note kit DAC that is around $5K. Plenty of great parts in the AN but the... | |
| Yamaha CD S1000 or S2100 as transport If you are looking for a great transport look for the old Marantz CD-94. We still use one in our listening room. Excellent transport both build quality and sound quality. Happy Listening. | |

| Mod Squad "Line Drive Deluxe"... It was not that special sounding so why bother at all? | |

| I think I just smoked my Amp I'm in New Jersey and I can take a look at it if this helps. | |
| Recommendations please! Send the preamp to me I can install a remote control and upgrade some of the parts to make it sound better then anything that will be recommended by anyone here. Happy Listening | |
| SkyfiAudio The items they sell are typically in excellent condition and either refurbished or checked out very well so that is what you are buying from them. The old McIntosh and Marantz units look brand new. | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? In our experience, transports still provide a better sound versus streaming as used for a front end. BUT if you want better digital sound, get the best DAC that pleases you and your most of the way their. | |
| Purifi v Gan amps? All audio components have a sound they either add something or remove something. Every capacitor, every resistors, every transformer has an impact on sound. So if you think that means no sound, then that is of your opinion. | |
| Time to upgrade the pre-amp. Buy a nice older Counterpoint nd send it to me for upgrades. You won't look back at anything else and it will be below your budget or you can buy one of my products that are customer built, point-to-point wired. Happy Listening. |
