| Aurender AP20 Impressions @fastfreight Congrats on landing the Soul Note A2. I work with their distributor and have been offered the line in the past. Their equipment sound very good, as you describe it. It’s quite admirable how much synergy and performance there is in hig... | |
| Aurender AP 20 @digitaljoseph If you haven’t read my evaluation on it, here’s the link: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/aurender-ap20-impressions?highlight=Aurender%2Bap20 I am an Aurender dealer and audiophile first. Should you want a reference to... | |
| Amp for Focal Maestro EVO @hiendmmoe uses the Maestros, and he is now on a Bel Canto Black system after owning the top of the line Luxman for a while. He may be able to share some of his experiences. | |
| why expensive streamers @kennyc Hah! That’ll be me asking to get flamed. :) | |
| why expensive streamers @kennyc and @andy2 and a few others have stated it best. The 0’s and 1’s that constitute the bits are actually processed with voltage pulses that are susceptible to not only jitter, but also EMI and RFI. While the introduction of noise will t... | |
| Have a reflective Memorial Day. Many thanks to all who have provided the service, dedication, commitment of their complete lives, along with all those that supported them, to have helped to make and help keep this country what it is today. | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers @davetheoilguy The SD 3100 HV is T+A’s reference level standalone DAC with streamer, which will save you $3K or so if you don’t need the preamp in the SDV 3100 HV. That said, the preamp in the SDV is a performance equivalent of T+A’s $23K referenc... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers @saurabhgarg That’s great to hear! And the N20 is a wonderful streamer to pair with the Tambaqui as well - it’s very tonally rich for a streamer. Let us know what you find with the voltage settings. In most cases a higher voltage of 4V or 5V won’... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers @davetheoilguy Lumin has a slightly more detailed/analytical sound, so you should be looking potentially at more harmonically rich DACs. I am an authorized T+A dealer, so take this with a grain of salt, but if you’re looking at the DCS Vivaldi Ape... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers @saurabhgarg The Tambaqui is a “zippy” DAC in my experience, and I’ve found it fatiguing in some configurations. Have you played with the voltage settings? If you increase the voltage to 4 or 5V output, some of that fatigue may go away. Using a ... | |
| Scansonic "Q" series @yukio Thank you for your patience and for reminding me. First things first, I have heard of the Axxess L3, but I have not heard it so I have nothing of value to share on it. I do know Audio Group Denmark is hard at work putting decent products ou... | |
| pre-amp from Soulution, CH precision and Boulder While I cannot answer your question directly, you might also want to consider looking at the T+A P 3100 HV or older P 3000 HV. I owned the P 3000 HV before I became a T+A dealer, and then upgraded to the SDV 3100 HV (a DAC with the preamp stage of... | |
| Back to the DAC @bluethinker Here's what it states in the manual: NOS 1 - With this setting the upsampling of the DAC 200 is deactivated and the analog output filter (lowpass) is automatically set to 60 kHz for sampling rates of 44.1 and 48 kHz. For higher sampl... | |
| Back to the DAC @navyachts I believe we discussed this before, but while the T+A DAC 200 has preamp functionality, it is easily bypassed, and you can use it in a line out mode. I know you feel like you may be paying for more features that you are not using, but t... | |
| Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000 @agisthos Thanks for the kind words, those types of comments make my day. I’ve of course been an audiophile much longer than being a dealer (I just started dealing just over two years ago), and when I became a dealer, I swore I would only take on ... |
