| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. @daveyf exactly. I have infigo dac, cables, and amplifier. I actually use a stripped down mini pc with only audio optimized as my streamer and it’s controlled and runs Audirvāna Studio for playback. Great sound. | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. @daveyf i thought it was really good. I like my dac more but the esoteric got a lot right | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. @wokeuptobose i can definitely understand your analysis. Some people think folks are being snooty but there is a lifelike experience with a lot of the higher end dacs. When I hear voices it feels like I’m there in the hall with him. It seems like... | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. @daveyf i recently demoed an esoteric N01xd. I was actually impressed by it. They make really high level gear. | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. Some people post stuff they have never heard. I actually let people demo our cables at Infigo. There are 5 people demoing as we speak. So I let you try before you buy. You be the judge in your own system. BOBBY BOOSHAY SHOULDNT BE TELLING YOU ... | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. @wsrrsw yes. At the reference level it becomes a personal taste thing. I like smooth but detailed without being analytical and that’s the best way to describe my dac and personal preferences. | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. @shkong78 thanks for the compliment. I like my method 4 because it is smooth but still gets the detail and is still transparent. Because of my listening preferences I listen to a lot of jazz with horns cymbals and pianos 75% of the time. My metho... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! @rodman99999 thats why I let people demo our Infigo stuff before they buy. I don’t know their system the way they do. I want them to be happy. There are so many ways to waste money in Audio. | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. @metaldetektor no problem my man. It’s cool I understand that. I love the hobby first. I stumbled into working with Infigo. He blew my last Dac out the water after a. Home audition. I like people that push the limits to what’s possible. I also l... | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. @woots thanks funny thing you said about the Netherlands. The Infigo Dac designer Hans Looman is from the Netherlands. I will try to get my ear on a Nagra as a reference point. I’ve heard good stuff about them. | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! @smurfstain being able to deliver a level of detail where the music comes out of a completely black background so you can actually hear the components and what your system is doing. I literally can hear guys breath and mumble in the background of ... | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. @mahler123 my current dac is going to glory with me. It gets to a point after 20 years where I’m gonna sit and listen. Enjoying the music is most important to me. Any upgrade at this point probably not worth it for me. I have 55k front end and 2... | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. Also everyone depending on your system you don’t have to spend a whole lot of money on a dac to be happy. For some folks it’s going to synergy. Some of the companies have really put out some great stuff at lower price points. Also we are at all di... | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. @mapman i had a buddy that borrowed a dcs for a long audition and in his system he didn’t like it. He currently owns a chord Dave. I think it might me a preference or a system thing. Sometimes it’s synergy as well as what you listen to and for in ... | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. @woots the Nagra is also on my lists of dacs I want hear in an extended listening session just for a reference to see how it sounds into comparison to what I own. I’m going to try to see if anyone at Axpona will be using to see if I can check it o... |
