| Streamer, Dac,with Pre Amp @garrymac - I use the Gold Note DS-10 in my office system. It combines a streamer, DAC and preamp into one device. I recommend the additional power supply that is an option. It’s fantastic and honestly competes with my primary system of much h... | |
| What's Up With Jane's Addiction? It's such an odd experience to be at an age where a band that, at least to some of us, epitomized youth and energy, become the geriatric angry guys, reduced to AARP jokes... The songs of Ritual de lo Habitual defined some of the best years of my... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 - Great review, Mitch. I’m very intrigued by the Mojo Audio line of DACs now. It sounds they simply bring joy to the experience of listening to music. In my book, that’s mission number one. Will be curious to hear your thoughts on the LTA ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 - Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your evaluations and comparisons vicariously. It's a great opportunity to learn about these other products I've not yet had the opportunity to hear and experience. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on thes... | |
| Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary +1 on Innuos. I have the Innuos Zenith mkiii which is an outstanding product. You should be able to pick purchase a used one with your budget. | |
| Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed @txp1 - Over the last few years I’ve purchased quite a few cardas interconnects and power cables. The Clear Reflection is a great cable - smooth and very easy to listen to. If funds allow, I’d recommend looking at the Cardas Clear IC. | |
| Six DAC Comparison I’m really looking forward to Mitch’s observations. @mitch2 - Would you consider adding the Audio Mirror Tubadour DAC to your review if Vlad was willing to send it to you? | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 - I’m also looking forward to your personal experiences with your listed DACS. I just upgraded my Merason DAC1 to the mkii version and am absolutely delighted with how it sounds in my system. That said, would love to hear your perspective ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 - Looking forward to your observations on the DACS under review. I’ve just upgraded my Merason Dac to the MKii version and I’m very happy with it. I am curious about your assessment of the new LTA DAC. I have an LTA preamp and I love it. | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? @choiceaudio - Within moments, I could tell the upgrade to the MKii version was well worth it. If someone has the funds, I'd strongly recommend pursuing the upgrade. Some day, if things go to plan, I'll hopefully be able to come and visit your sho... | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? @choiceaudio @zlone - I worked with Choice Audio to upgrade the Merason Dac1 from Mki to the new Mkii version. Just got it back in the mail and put it back into my system. It's definitely a worthy upgrade. I've not had much time with it yet, but I... | |
| Innuos firmware update @zlone - Thanks! | |
| Do other DACs do this? Auralic Vega @incoming - It is absolutely NOT normal for a DAC to crackle as you’ve described. I would recommend an Innuos streamer, btw. Great product with a really good app. I have the Innuos ZENith mkiii. Another product I strongly recommend is the Gold... | |
| Has anyone compared the Luxman 595 and the 590 AXII? @dman777 - Knowing the good nature of many on here at Audiogon, he might be thinking about locations where you could possibly demo the 590axii. That’s my instinct on why he’s asking. | |
| QLN Prestige 3 @poketacez - I’m another QLN P3 owner and fan. I’m curious about your system. What are you using when your QLN speakers? Would welcome knowing your streamer, Dac, preamp, amp and cables. |
