| What is your experience with LiveVibe Audio Points? @roxy54 - Yes, using the coupling discs with the larger audio point. I feel like a shill for LiveVibe Audio right now, but I feel like I’m discovered a treasure of a product. The upgrade has been akin to inserting exceptional NOS tubes or my exper... | |
| InnuOS Sense 2.6.0. @jon2020 - Thank you for your help. The system sounds fantastic with the new Innuous software! After putting the LTA preamp in my system I’ve lost interest in preamps. It was so revelatory and transformational that I can’t envision replacing i... | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? @ricco275 - I have the Merason Dac1 Mki. It’s a fantastic Dac, to be sure. I recommend it. I think the reviews are pretty spot on. @choiceaudio - You have the experience with both dacs in question. How would you compare the two? | |
| What is your experience with LiveVibe Audio Points? It’s day two listening with these new LiveVibe Audio Points. I’m still stunned by the level of improvement they’ve made in my system. It’s as if I purchased a new upgraded Dac or preamp. For context, I currently am running a Merason Dac1 mk1, LTA... | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? @choiceaudio - Thanks for providing the information. Will reach out to you when I have the discretionary funds for the upgrade! | |
| Puritan PSM156 I now have Puritan filters on both of my systems. Without question, both units improved the clarity of each system. I am plugging my amps directly into the Puritan, along with all upstream components. When funds allow, I’ll purchase the ultimate... | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? @choiceaudio - thank you for that! Two questions for you: 1. How would you compare the Merason Dac1 mkii to the Mola Mola Dac? What are their respective strengths head to head? 2. Can we upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii through you if our ... | |
| DAC Suggestions @jonwolfpell - Based on your criteria, the Merason Dac1 would be a great fit. Read the reviews. I own it and can attest to what the reviewers say - “relaxed but detailed,” “musical vs analytical.” One review compares it favorably to your current D... | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? @zlone - I have my primary system in my living room. My evening pleasure is to relax and listen to music so those qualities are important to me. To me, music is a bit of an escape from the rigors and pace of our frenetic and over stimulated world.... | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? @wig Thank you! I think I'd also sent you a private message a few months back, which you'd also responded to. I think I'm going to plan to upgrade the Merason to the MKii version some time in 2024. @zlone - Not sure if you already have a Meras... | |
| Ayon or Pass Hi Everyone... Totally get your POV on Steve G. I've actually watched a lot of Steve the past few years. And it's true his real preferences come out over time as he brings components up persistently over time. He has brought LTA up a few times... | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? Fellow Audio Fanatics... I know some Merason DAC1 owners are out there! Would love your feedback on whether upgrade to the mkii version is worth it! Thanks! Bluethinker | |
| Network Acoustics Products? Hi Everyone - Firstly, want to thank everyone for your replies. This is such a funny hobby… incredibly gratifying, but I’m afraid it taps into a certain sense of obsessiveness which isn’t my default approach to life. As I’ve changed my syste... | |
| InnuOS Sense 2.6.0. @antigrunge2 @jon2020 - Thanks for the advice! I ended up turning up the volume to 100% on the Innuos ZENith and used the LTA preamp exclusively for volume. That seems to have made a difference… I don’t quite understand why, but it made a positive... | |
| InnuOS Sense 2.6.0. My initial enthusiasm has faded a bit. After a week or so of listening, I hear better resolution but I’m now aware of some “digital glare.” What had been a relaxed presentation now sounds a little forward and, I hate to say it, irritating. It’s... |
