| DACs with switchable high/low gain (output) settings Geshelli J2 dac has 3 position gain control. Several very good reviews on YT on this dac for its price. Cheap Audio Man is one. I had very good customer service from them. A mom pop team in FL. | |
| Let's Talk DAC's A review of the most DACs in one post from a long time audiophile is "dacs that Ive had in my system" by jjss49. Sorry, dont know how to post link. | |
| LPS for Node 2i. Acopian? Notlistening, PD finally did reply, but cost over $100 + $43 for shipping to US. Dont know where you found different. Between PDs cost and their slow response I went with LHY $95 with tax, free shipping,, extended return time, quick replys from v... | |
| LPS for Node 2i. Acopian? Thanks marco1. I still havent heard back from PD Creative after a week and 2 emails. I tired another brand of an upgrade board for the Node 2i and that didnt workout so I guess Ill go with LHY board, but leaning toward Acopian LPS as hilde45 used. | |
| LPS for Node 2i. Acopian? Hilde45 nice gear! Did you build the Q diffusers? Is that a new listening room in progress? I am gald to see your using an Acopian. Which filter upgrade board did you use for your Node / Node 2i? I may have to go with the LHY. At least theyve be... | |
| Gustard R26 - good but not the one R26 or Pontus now Cutest in running. I stream Qobuz on BS Node2i w Geshelli J2 dac. I like the Node 2i 's Bluos app and overall sound is good. This is my 1st streamer and dac. My quality recorded lps sound much better. My ears are use to analog... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing Thank you jjss49 for such an informative post. Im way out of your league in DACs, but happy you use Magi 1.7i s as I do. You mentioned direct connect to amp if gain control exists. Does anyone know if it is safe to connect my Geshelli J2 DAC wit... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? I don't know about Sound by Sanders, but if you don't mind used, I picked up my Magnepan 1.7i s for $1,300. They were only 1 year old and just broken in. Planars have a long breakin period. As per my previous post, seems like horns and planars a... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? Like the poster about 4 channels giving best soundstage, this is cheating too. So Im using my Carver c4000 from 1980. It has Bob Carvers "magical" function of Sonic Holography. Ive heard sounds from far left and right of speakers that are scarey, ... | |
| What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan? Ive always said, if stranded on an island and had one band's music to chose, it would be Beatles. I know more about them than I need to know and they are one of the few bands where I enjoy every song on every album, minus a few. So, I guess Im a h... | |
| Can a system sound too Holographic? I get wanting a home system to have the clarity and dynamics of live music, but it is rare to hear a live concert that sounds great unless in a specifically designed music venue. Ive been to more concerts than not that are boomy, too echoy, etc. ... | |
| Can a system sound too Holographic? In 1980 I was so impresssed with a demo of Bob Carver's Sonic Holography pre amp, I drained my savings, bought the c4000 pre & M400 cube amp. Still use the pre amp. Just sold the cube. Replaced with a great Odyssey amp. To me its like the dif... | |
| Curious to know what you guys think/like about Pink Floyd's early work I hear early PF as the making of puzzle pieces. The pieces start coming together on Meddle then perfected on DSOTM and after. Echos is my fav PF song. Its like a changing landscape. D.G. & R.W. vocal harmonys blend perfectly. The music starts ... | |
| Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit @Maynardewm Both my Node 2i and cd player run through the same J2 Geshelli dac which has many good reviews putting up againest dacs 3 x its price $250.00. I do like analog sound so Ill probably go with R2R dac down the road. Ive read many do bi... | |
| Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit For those here discussing old cd players, Ive got a 23 year old Toshiba SD9200N DVD/cd unit. Dont know much about it, but it was $2k back then and must weigh over 20 lbs. No remote. Can only use cd player and bypass its dac through a Geshelli J2 d... |
