Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ?
@ryder - Thanks for sharing the update! Wish I could have been there to witness the unveiling and to see your first impressions of the new amp first hand. In my mind, it is a step up from the Luxman 590axii. I’m stoked you are finding joy with it.... 
Soul Note DACs
@996turbo911 - I've been considering a Soul Note D2 dac. Also considering the T+A Dac 200.  Can you share your thoughts and observations on the Soul Note D2 dac? Would love to hear your impressions.   
DAC and Amplifier Synergy?
@soix - I know you are a respected poster. And I appreciate your knowledge… I feel you’ve made your point.   
DAC and Amplifier Synergy?
For everyone else interested in the topic, my preference for my primary system is now focused on more neutrality and propulsiveness. Office system is different.   
DAC and Amplifier Synergy?
@soix - Thanks for your time. And sorry for the misunderstanding. Hope you enjoy rest of the day.   
DAC and Amplifier Synergy?
@soix - Thanks for your ideas. I should have been clearer. The Luxman 590axii, T+A Dac 200, and Graham LS3/5a system is more my office. Not necessarily looking for that system to be overly propulsive and energized. Rather, for that room, leaning t... 
DAC and Amplifier Synergy?
@soix - Thank you. I 100% agree. You are absolutely right. I think that is part of the puzzle for me. Initially I thought I really liked a warm and relaxing sound. I set up my main system to accomplish just that. But now I'm realizing I might pre... 
T+A MP 200 with T+A Dac 200 Synergy
@mgrif104 - Thank you for the kind reply. I'll send you a PM over the weekend.  @dougthebiker - In an other thread comparing Weiss to T+A, you had mentioned the synergy between the T+A MP 200 and T+A Dac 200 as something to note. Did you end up p... 
Streamer Advice
@romad - Another vote for Innuos. Great product. Excellent sound. Their Sense App is fantastic. And their support is solid.   
For Weiss 204 DAC owners - ModWright has an LPS
@cbrez - I’m thinking of swapping out some audio components in my office system. I’ve not been happy with the reliability of a combined DAC/Streamer device. Based on what I’ve read the Weiss 204 is well regarded. My impression is it can be a litt... 
Innuous Zenith MK3
@donquichotte - I’m using a Cardas Clear power cable on the Innuos MKiii. I also have a cardas clear beyond xl cable which I know wasn’t designed for sources, but I believe things sounded best when I used it on the DAC.   
Buchardt e50 reviews
I have a pair of Buchardt s400 mkii speakers in a second system. I’m very happy with them. At some point I think I need to drag them upstairs and give them a go in my main system. While I don’t see myself purchasing the new e50 models I’m a big fa... 
Innuous Zenith MK3
@mintakax - You are welcome. I find it incredibly useful to learn from the experiences of folks on this forum. When I’ve had a positive experience with a company or product, I like to share it with the group. Innuos is a well run company with stel... 
Innuous Zenith MK3
@mintakax - I’ve also been very happy with mine. In the context of my system, I think it sounds great. And the Sense software has been incredibly reliable compared to another streamer from a different company that I have in my office.    My next... 
Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ?
@ryder - Congratulations! Very exciting!  I’m listening to my Gryphon 120 as I write this… I hope you like your new amp. As I wrote before, it’s a more muscular sounding amp compared to the Luxman 590axii. I would imagine the Gryphon 300 will rea...
