| Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables Added these in last night. Very apparent when they’re included once I started listening to some of my favorite songs to test. Just another level of clarity and separation, instruments are more defined. Vocals are excellent, really can’t believe ho... | |
| Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables Waiting on delivery of my pair today. These must be the most revelatory cables known to man at this point, haha.It can only go down from here...just sporting a pair of audioquest rocket 44s, so pretty basic and tbh not much of an improvement past ... | |
| Distortion using Node 2i as streamer with Denafrips Pontus Dac I had a node 2i and felt it didn’t do any favors for the DAC I was using at the time. Really I’d get something a little better. | |
| Distortion using Node 2i as streamer with Denafrips Pontus Dac The other thing to consider is getting a better streamer to help with a good DAC like the Pontus. I think even a Zen mini or a Rendu would be a big step up from the node 2i | |
| Amp or DAC? I tested them against two bookshelf’s - LS50 and Unifi UB5, since these are supposed to be somewhat ‘hard to drive’I just meant bass response | |
| Amp or DAC? @djones51 it was a Purifi compared to a Hegel H90. Great clarity/quickness with the Purifi, but didn’t notice any more ‘control’ of the woofers from one vs the other. Have you compared an AHB2 with your class D amps? | |
| Amp or DAC? @kijanki I agree that it may be the other way around and I’ve heard it mentioned that this can be the case. I did my own comparison of with a 60w into 8 integrated amp that is stable down to 2ohms compared to a 225 into 8 amp, 425 into 4, and asi... | |
| OK here is the challenge for you Your solid state system:Hegel H90 integrated Elac Unifi UB5You’re welcome | |
| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? I hear a lot of good things about Lumin from the T2 on up. There seem to be a lot of people that love the DS updates though. What I can’t figure out is how much better can these DACs get and aren’t the diminishing returns quick after you pass the ... | |
| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? I can’t seem to get much info on price other than it’ll likely be a $12-$15k DAC at least. The thing with Directstream that gives me pause is how high the THD has been measured in the past. I don’t know if these firmware updates are able to addres... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta I have my Metas with a Purifi amp. Detail is amazing. These can do a real disappearing act, but with a good sub or two they are truly amazing speakers. It’ll be interesting to see how they compare with the B&W 705s, Elac Vela 403, and the Moni... | |
| Hegel H390 or NAD M33 for Bowers and Wilkins 802D2 speakers? Glad it’s working out. M33 and Purifi in general are very disruptive products. Looking forward to when DALI or another manufacturers starts making Purifi speakers.I recently added a Purifi amp to my Hegel H90...maybe it’s just me, but it’s pretty ... | |
| Hegel H90 external DAC setup Ok, was able to set this up the other day. Using coax out of the Bluesound to the coax in of the MX-DAC and then analog out from the DAC to the Hegel. Sound is...ok. Hegel is louder at a volume match. I imagine due to the internal streamer of the ... | |
| Hegel H90 external DAC setup Thanks, all good here now! Appreciate the help, all | |
| Hegel H90 external DAC setup Thanks, turnbowm. Let me add to the complexity... if I’m using the network function to stream over airplay, Hegel is telling me that the analog in of the external DAC isn’t used. I just bought a Bluesound Node 2i, that DAC is inferior to the H90 ... |
