| New DAC or New Streamer? There is a lot more to be gained in a DAC. Until you have a flagship dac of your dreams, you can get by on a $300 streamer. In other words the differnce between a $1000 and a $10000 dac is huge but the differnce between a $300 and a $5000 s... | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? @fthompson251 Could you clarify ? Do you need a full function “music server “ or a streamer “network player” ? Obviously the Aurender N200 is the former. If all you need is a network player consider the new Pluse series of network players from I... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @grannyring My knowledge of it is limited to what’s on their website.It uses different driver and rectifier tubes from the Frankensteins mono blocks and share a power transformer. My gut feeling tells me it is very good however. Israel Blume won... | |

| Innuos PULSE Mini? @everest_audio Thank you. This Pulse series has captured my attention so I was able to find additional information regarding them. High quality network player is exactly what I am seeking rather than a “music server “. My new DAC (Currently unde... | |
| Innuos PULSE Mini? Oops! Just saw that Pulse product information is posted on the Innuos site. The middle model Pulse is very interesting to me but lacks RCA connectivity. I sspect this Pulse is a very fine sounding streamer. Charles | |
| Innuos PULSE Mini? The Innuos Pulse series sounds quite interesting. Two additional models on the way, when? Intriguing development. There are those who seek a simple music streamer with high sound quality capabilities and do not need/require a music server. This is... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I was just offering alternative suggestions.MK II is one box model. MK III 2 chassis. Lots of good quality stuff available. Very good LPS attention (Farad) at this price point. I’m sure the Holo has a nice power supply as well. Charles | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns The MK III version is very new. Separated streamer box from the Farad LPS via DC cable. This company is much more familiar in Europe than USA. They have a reputation for high quality engineering/design. Can be used with Wi-Fi or Ethernet wi... | |

| Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry? @miesdavis That's one serious looking amplifier and I suspect very well executed. I have no doubts that your Tannoys truly sing driven by this amplifier. Charles | |
| Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m @bossa You are happy and enjoying your music. That’s the ultimate objective. Charles | |
| Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m 1 Meter is enough save some cash Agreed. I failed to see a compelling case for getting the longer cable presumably to achieve better sound quality. Color me skeptical. Charles | |
