| Chord DAVE DAC I have this DAC and it is awesome. Tremendously detailed, great soundstage. I've compared to a lot of midrange DACs and it blows them away. I did add the M-scaler and didn't think it provided improvement, in fact I liked that presentation less... | |
| Are There Roon Ready I2S Streamers? If you're over budget, I highly recommend the Allo USBridge Signature with Shanti power supply. I would sell mine but I guess I'll move it to my second system. I too used a Nuc for my core, I7 6 cores, maybe the same one you are using. I instal... | |
| Are There Roon Ready I2S Streamers? my 2c. Maybe it is worth just what you pay for it. The bashing of USB is by people trying to sell you something else, and their customers and fans repeating it without real knowlege. I just bought a $4700 streamer. It feeds a $13000 DAC. I haven’t... | |
| need more POWER Focusing on HT, one 20 amp outlet should be plenty. The good news is since it is 20amp, it should be 12 gauge from the breaker box. Focus on heavy power cables downstream of the wall outlet. "power strip" is a dirty word in audiophile circl... | |
| I need advice on a 300b tube Fuzztone, I totally disagree with you about masks so your analogy doesn't hold up. I suggest you delete your controversial and politically associated post. --Jerry | |
| Seeking suggestions for 6922 tubes Thanks jjss | |
| Seeking suggestions for 6922 tubes There are a few tubes that are recommended time after time in this thread. Some are afailable from sellers in remote countries. How much do we need to worry about fakes? thanks | |
| Newbie seller My guess is the buyer got the package and responded affirmatively to a paypal inquiry. He may never respond to you. You're good. I wouldn't waste my time filing a claim. | |
| Transformer..? Moving To TheUK The 4.0 answer would be a power regenerator that is fed by 240 and puts out 120. I'm not aware of one. i don't know why PSA and others to provide this. I looked for one to power a 240V amp from 120 and even called PSA and they weren't interested... | |
| Multi-Channel Integrated? Multichannel integrated amplifiers are called AV recievers. | |
| This sounds suspicious... Link goes to la la land so I assume it has been taken down. Many reported that it has sold. Scammers don't usually mark their ads sold, at least not promptly. They would love to scam multiple people with the same ad. Jerry | |
| Dac or Power regen, which gets the better cable? The power generator needs a heavy cable, not a "quality" cable. However, that is very important. | |
| Need an integrated amp that sounds engaging at lower volume Kinki studios, compared favorably to high end swiss amps. I own one and agree with the reviews. | |
| Is it me or new audio gear is too perfect and give ear fatigue? Speaking of Schiit DACs, I have a Bifrost II in my second system and I think it is a great value in it's price range. With some combinations of equipment I've found it a bight overly bright but currently sounds good. | |
| Is it me or new audio gear is too perfect and give ear fatigue? I get ear fatigue when the presentation is what I call too bright. Changing Tubes (or even amps) and DACs is how I deal with it. If I find myself turning the music down because it sounds too loud (I listen at 68 to 75 dB) then I have a brightne... |
