| Beresford Dac Hdphone amp? You may also want to look into the Audio-GD products. They are renowned on Head-fi for their headphone amp/dac/pre combos. | |
| Cambridge Dacmagic? Real improvmt or hype? Glass toslink is the way to go, you may want to try that out before moving on. A quick google search for one will yield several options, some inexpensive. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 Magfan that is interesting that they now recommend the tweeters on the inside after all these years. IMO moving the tweets to the inside helps to center the stereo image, at least in my room it did. | |
| Macbook to USB to which one? If you plan to use USB you will be limited to 16/48 files with both the MF VDAC and the DACmagic. One thing to point out is that the DACmagic has high levels of jitter when using USB. The MF VDAC by contrast has impressively low levels of jitter w... | |
| Confused With Options To Obtain BestQuality iTunes Forgot to mention, I have had not been able to get album art on WAV files in Itunes. That is another reason I use AIFF files. I believe there is a script or some other work around but I have not looked into that much since AIFF is an easier solution. | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? I would say yes. Anything expensive is a turn on for single women, it means you have a lot of money that can someday be redirected to their benefit:) | |
| Confused With Options To Obtain BestQuality iTunes Itunes does support 24/192 files via the USB output, just have to change audio midi settings in the system preferences. You can also output up to 96k I believe on the toslink output of a mac as well. If you decide to go the streaming route you wil... | |
| Why is my Velodyne DD-18 "blowing up? " If turning down the lever does not work I would take it in to a tech asap, chances are it will be an easy fix now but it may end up being something major if you continue to use it. Plus, it is hard to enjoy listening to your rig when you are worry... | |
| Would you pay to listen? On second thought, this seems like one heck of a way to write off the purchase of your system on your taxes. Create an LLC, purchase a system to put into a dedicatd room in your home and call it business startup costs. | |
| Would you pay to listen? I would pay to spend time with a MBL 101E system. | |
| what is the best, least costly DAC...? I also considered the RDAC, ultimately I decided to go with the Audio GD NFB11. It utilizes the same ESS Sabre Reference 9018 chip used in many a high end DAC. Intro price on the Audio GD website is rediculous, also includes active pre-amp stage(d... | |
| new to tubes You could pick up an Onix Sp3 for about $500, that should give you a good low cost intro to tubes. If you don't like it or want more power you can resell it for about the same price you paid for it. | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? Silly statement indeed. I think people would agree that for the most part people on this site are audiophiles or at least take pride in their equipment. Plug Mcintosh into the systems search page and you will find about 400 people who use Mac gear... | |
| ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms?? ZU's twitter page has a photo of the new Omen Definition that will go on sale black friday. Looks like 2 10" zu drivers with a tweeter in between, packaged in a Omen like cabinet. Those that did not jump on the Soul or Omen preview sales may want ... | |
| Dumb question? WHAT IS YOUR SEAT/ CHAIR? 10' x 15' sectional. Also doubles nicely a a bed when sessions last a bit too late into the evening... |
