| Msb dacs why not alot of postings @nitewulf Your attitude is one reason why audiogon loses contributers every day. If only the norm was education without condescension. | |
| Pass labs X250.5 cracking noise @fabio3181 I would just contact Pass directly. They're great even if you bought decide hand and will help you diagnose and fix. Not that I think you need another source for fixing, but the community at https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pass-labs/ is... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO Looking forward to reading more impressions... this dac has been on my radar ever since I saw the internal construction and attention to detail (especially in the power supply). Very happy with my Audio Mirror T3-SE, and since it uses the same r2r... | |
| Msb dacs why not alot of postings @lalitk Please do post a review thread if you do try the LinQ. I'm interested in trying some new streamers too. | |
| Supratek..Cabernet 6SN7 or Cabernet DHT +1 @facten would especially like to hear about a comparison between the two typologies. Nice that you can just switch back and forth... | |
| I2S Input - Is It Better? The best thing to do is try out both. I asked mojo audio if they could add an i2s input to their dac and they felt strongly that it would be a mistake. The basic gist of the reasoning is that if we know clock timing/syncing is essential, why would... | |

| What makes a DAC so expensive? @grannyring Sad but true. When I'm building I also spend time on diyaudio and the difference is so stark. People genuinely trying to help each other vs. the cock fights that always break out here. That said, if there's a better place to find out a... | |
| What makes a DAC so expensive? This has devolved into a fuse or power cable discussion. Obviously @djones51 is not going to change his mind no matter any one else's experience and there's no way he's changing the minds of people like me with the experience that different dacs m... | |
| Musing - audiophiles that new just enough to be dangerous *new a new newb* !! | |
