| Gryphon Diablo 120, Luxman L-590AXII, Other? For KEF R11 He didn’t - he offered a few suggestions on speakers that would go better with the Gryphon. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 120, Luxman L-590AXII, Other? For KEF R11 As an FYI, I reached out to a dealer contact - one that I had demoed the KEF Reference with before. He now reps Gryphon and has the 120 on demo. He advised that the Gryphon would not be a good match for the KEFs. I respect his opinion as he has... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 120, Luxman L-590AXII, Other? For KEF R11 Well, unfortunately the used Luxman I had an eye on has sold, so I'm really interested in any further comments on the Gryphon. In general, it sounds like the Gryphon may have a more aggressive sound - if that translates to some better dynamics fo... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 120, Luxman L-590AXII, Other? For KEF R11 Thank you all for the input. Sounds like a lot of positivity for either. I’m somewhat leaning Luxman because the built in phono is supposed to be quite good and I may add a TT in the near future if the amplification gets me to where I want to be... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 120, Luxman L-590AXII, Other? For KEF R11 Thanks, any thoughts on what would be a better fit? My biggest concern with the Gryphon is the comment I’ve read that the top end is “dark”. My KEFs already have a relaxed top end and so I am concerned with the synergy. That being said, the Gry... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 120, Luxman L-590AXII, Other? For KEF R11 Thanks for the input. I think the R11’s punch well above their weight, but do plan to upgrade at some point relatively soon. In the meantime, looking to max their potential. | |
| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? @jjss49 @cycles2 and others:I pulled the trigger on a Mytek Manhattan II with network card. The folks at Mytek were nice enough to give me a fair trade in on my Liberty + apply another promo to help bring the price down. I'm probably still withi... | |
| Need setup help - MyTek Manhattan II and Subs Woof, I hope not! I don’t know that I can stomach another $3K so soon after this purchase...in doing some further research, the Parasound has a “loop out” on the back and the manual says it can be used for powered subwoofers.My Deep Sea Sound subs... | |
| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? @jnehma1 thanks for the follow up. It may not be apples to apples, but seems close enough for general discussion purposes. And, to be clear, I was focusing on the 3400 vs Manhattan II, not the 1120 (which I agree would not be fair).The Manhattan I... | |
| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? @jnehma1 Thanks for the suggestion. Given that the TDAI-1120 would replace my DAC, Streamer, and 2 channel Amp (and I could sell all 3 to mitigate costs) - I started researching the TDAI-3400 (the bigger bigger brother in the series). Found inte... | |
| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? @anzaanimalclinic Appreciate the suggestions. However, the Innuos Zen Mini is really overkill for my situation. I have no need for a CD ripper or onboard storage. I also have no need for Roon as long as the network streamer can stream Tidal direct... | |
| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? @snackeyp thanks for the input! | |
| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? @richdirector I have it connected via optical right now and the passthrough is enabled so that the internal DAC in the Node 2i is bypassed. My MyTek Liberty DAC is MQA-certified. Regardless, I have read elsewhere that the Note 2i will still onl... | |
| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? Will try it.Have it.Yes. | |
| Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA? I guess I should also add to the list the Manhattan II with Network Card, although that would be a bit of a stretch. |
