| Should I really, really buy a Berkeley Reference DAC...Testify! If you care about what your music sound like, and you have the cash, do it. Life is short and not many pleasures money can buy for you. If you like the DAC you have, the new one will blow your mind. Just do it. Its almost Christmas. Enjoy! | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? I have recently discovered linear bass is the single most important thing in my system (to me, to my ears). Now, it is amazing to listen to. I am under the impression that DEQX gives you linear bass. Cannot underestimate linear bass. | |
| Viva, no longer a fan TOTALLY agree with Whart. You get what you pay for. Loyalty rules. We get it back in spades. | |
| Viva, no longer a fan One of the things you give up when you buy used, is being treated by the manufacturer as if you had purchased it new. There are some manufacturers who, as a courtesy (Roger Sanders, Jeff Rowland, Loyd Walker, Nelson Pass, Ralph Karsten and others)... | |

| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? Read. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Goldmond did that as well, but they were one of the best sounds I ever heard coming from a box speaker in my life. Mechanical coupling. That is how they achieved linear bass. Seems to be the key to that uber sound. The non-linear bass just sme... | |
| aurender n10 or....? N10 and Melco do not have ars/ebu digital outputs. USB is horrible - you don't want that. | |
| The Best of Fellow Audiophiles. To me, Guido Corona deserves a mention here. A true hobbyist, well versed in this field, a JRDG asset to this forum (among other things) and he just has a wonderful tone. | |
| Outboard crossover? Why not? I am a BIG fan of not using speakers with crossovers inside them. I use an active crossover (DBX) and it is between my preamp and amps, so my amps actually see my speakers, directly, not my crossover. When you use internal crossovers, your amps ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Corus versus Audio Research Ref 6 Rowland amps LOVE Rowland Preamps. You will love it, too. | |
