For around $3500 price range I would highly recommend the following stereo integrated amps with DAC :* Hegel H160 new retail pr... | |
| DCS Vivaldi stacks vs Esoteric Grandioso G1, D1, P1 stacks Hey guys, I’m still using the DCS Vivaldi full four stacks which consists of Vivaldi master clock, Vivaldi upsampler, Vivaldi DAC, Vivaldi CD/SACD transport in my reference stereo setup. I’m now wondering how would my DCS Vivaldi stacks compare to... | |
| Questions about my system. Tube based preamp and a solid state power amp usually will achieve desirable positive results but not always it depends on many variables and factors in system matching or synergy. In my previous setup I had a tube preamp paired with solid state m... | |
| How does the digital bypass on home theater processor work The ARC2 (Anthem Room Correction) is one of top notch room correction and will make big difference for surrounds (HT) when set up and calibrated properly. The Anthem AVM60 is a perfect choice for home theater when set up right and calibrated prope... | |
| How does the digital bypass on home theater processor work Sorry my bad it turns out that your Mytek Brooklyn DAC Plus has one pair of analog input (rca) that can be configured as either linestage or phonostage input. But your Mytek does not have HT bypass or HT passthrough function. Therefore, you cannot... | |
| How does the digital bypass on home theater processor work I don't think the Mytek Brooklyn DAC Plus has an analog input. After all it is a DAC that happens to have digital volume control built in. | |
| How does the digital bypass on home theater processor work @bomber52 I didn’t quite understand your question. So you want to use your Mytek Brooklyn DAC Plus as a DAC/preamp for your stereo needs and you wanted to connect your Mytek to your AV pre pro? Is that right? What pre pro do you have? All AV pre p... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations You’re welcome. Congrats on the purchase! The CP 800 is optimized for use with its USB DAC input. I highly recommend that you use its USB DAC input to stream music. Its USB input sounded the best compared to its other inputs. In regards to PS Audi... | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range Focal Sopra 3 and Rockport Atria will pair well with your Mc452 amp & C2600 tube preamp. | |

I personally did not like auto room correction until recently when I was auditioning or demoing a new processor to replace my outdated Classe SSP 800. I demoed both Datasat RS20i and Audio Control Maestro both have Dirac Live... | |
| Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S? @awilder Don't forget to let us know how the Rotel RMB-1585 performs and sounds on your B&W 803S when you receive the amp and whether the center speaker that you are getting from the seller makes a big difference. | |
| Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S? One thing to be cautious about this Rotel RMB-1585 amp is that it does not have any front or rear handles so handling it makes it hard due to the weight and size of this amp. You can never lift it up by yourself. It’s a 2 men job. It weighs in aro... | |
| Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S? Hahaha....yup...the Rotel does not get roasting hot even when driven hard. It barely gets warm to the touch. That's all.But you still need some room ventilation around the amp. I wouldn't put it in a confined closed cabinet or rack if I were you. ... | |
| ARE DCS Dacs worth the high cost? I’m currently using DCS Vivaldi full four stacks consisting of Vivaldi master clock, Vivaldi upsampler, Vivaldi DAC, Vivaldi CD/SACD transport in my dedicated two-channel reference room. The volume control is set to fixed gain and the Vivaldi is u... | |
| Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S? @bwguy I wouldn't use Airplay eventhough it is lossless Apple Airplay. |
