| Questioning my Oppo Sonica dac? OPPO Sonica is a great DAC. Esp with Modwright tube mod and external LPS. | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? @kennyc I have an M Scaler. T Pardo on order. | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? @kennyc Great idea. Have a Teddy Pardo coming. Ideal would be Farad or Sean Jacobs. | |
| looking to replace Fyne speaker jumper cable I replaced the Tannoy jumpers on my Kensingtons with Transparent’s mid-priced jumpers. More improvement in SQ than I anticipated. I use mostly Transparent throughout. | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k I started with an OPPO Sonica, then added Modwright tube mod, then PS Audio Direct Stream. I now have DAVE/M Scaler with OPTO DX. Hands down massive improvement to my system. Purchased both as demos. With savings I replaced DAVE’s internal SMPS wi... | |
| Who still does mods for CD players John Hillig at Musical Concepts. | |
| 2024 Audio System Wish List My wish list in no particular order: Second REL S/812 Farad or Sean Jacobs LPS for M Scaler to complement my SJ DC4/ARC6 DAVE LPSU Beginning room treatment (I know…but they’re so ugly) Super-tweeters for my Tannoy Kensingtons Upgrade to Tr... | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? Thanks for the thoughtful input. Here are the responses to how you would spend my next $5K. Seems a clear consensus between room acoustics and second sub. Special kudos to those who said they would spend my $5K on their system. lol Second sub... | |
| DAVE w/ or w/out M Scaler? @cio52 I’ve watched that video. My DAVE/M SCALER are connected through the OPTO/SX which has an BNC/optical interface between DAVE and M SCALER. Do you think this is the type of optical connection he was referring to? | |
| DAVE w/ or w/out M Scaler? @shkong78 Do you use a Farad on the M Scaler or just the DAVE? I’m interested in how FARAD or SJ would affect M Scaler. I had a Teddy Pardo on my HMS but heard very little affect and am now back to the HMS’ SMPS. | |
| DAVE w/ or w/out M Scaler? Since my earlier post about DAVE/M Scaler (which added resolution to the DAVE), I have added Sean Jacobs’ DC4/ARC6 LPSU which takes the DAVE/HMS to an entirely different level. “Transformational” is the word I use to describe the improvement. Ri... | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? @hysteve Thanks. I got a both USB and NET used, elsewise would not likely have sprung. NET seemed to make a bigger difference although that may be because I got it first. Deeper blacks. A more “settled/relaxed sound” and somehow a better grip o... | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? @elliottbnewcombjr correct via toslink to m scaler | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? @grislybutter lol | |
| How would you spend my next $5K? Helpful comments, thanks. I could say that the Kensingtons and S/812 don’t fully pressurize my 15’x21’ space, though I’ve made some recent improvement in dialing in the sub. Interestingly, my small bedroom (10’x12’) NAIM UNITI ATOM/Tannnoy... |
