New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui Yes tube buffer idea only as secondary output feeds, more of a joke or future science project! Future design XLR from DAC into Dan D'Agostino Momentum HD preamplifier to my amp. | |
TV audio into DAC via eARC or better @pwerahera Absolutely DirecTV has better standard video and audio. Not sure how much longer they will be around with Starlink providing internet to everyone who doesn't have a cable provider. I'm worried more compression is in our future not l... | |
Acoustic Sounds site is down..... Never mind it's back! | |
New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui I think with the MSB Discrete DAC if you purchase the Network Renderer module the DAC becomes a Roon endpoint. Does anyone have experience using any MSB DAC as a Roon endpoint versus using a player and outputting digital to the MSB. | |
New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui @ricred1 I actually think it looks pretty cool and stands out especially with that curved eye for a display. I grew up watching flight of the navigator and I'm pretty sure it was in that movie! But I want my turntable to stand out and my DAC to ... | |
New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui @ghdprentice just need a DAC with two outputs so I can run a tube buffer on those harsher tracks! https://www.decware.com/newsite/zbox.htm | |
Used TechDAS Air Force III vs New Feickert Firebird with Kuzma Safir 9 vs SME 20 MK 2 @rsf507 https://eliteavdist.com/img/products/9090546-StabiR_Safir9_CAR50~rev_rkojh4.jpg | |
New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui So for a dedicated streamer/player. Probably don't have the funds for a Taiko yet but what would be on par with the MSB Discrete DAC? | |
Audioquest source AC Hurricane vs FireBird @lordmelton oh man I didn't think about fuses. I don't see a fuse in my Isotek Titan v5 but my momentum S250 amp has a 10amp slow blow. | |
TV audio into DAC via eARC or better I think when ARC first came out it was tough to get everyone to play nice together. eARC seems to be more widely adopted. Also the volume control built into eARC for use with SONOS Arc or SONOS Amp has forced the TV guys to get it together! I t... | |
New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui Not sure I could get use to the look of the Chord Dave.... I'm very open to just using the mac mini to run core and getting a dedicated streamer. Leaning toward the MSB Discrete DAC. I like the upgradability and the modular digital inputs. Bui... | |
Used TechDAS Air Force III vs New Feickert Firebird with Kuzma Safir 9 vs SME 20 MK 2 I like the idea of the Kuzma Safir arm. I like the look of the AF3 TechDAS better than the Stabi R. I also like the idea of the vacuum system.... But the Stabi R comes in white which I like! I wonder how the Safir Arm on a Feickert would be c... | |
Audioquest source AC Hurricane vs FireBird @lordmelton oh man! So my preamp right now is passive so the power is not involved with the audio signal path. And I'm looking at upgrading my DAC. But good to know I guess I'll start planning for some more Dragons! | |
TV audio into DAC via eARC or better oh Bluesound supports eARC....maybe I should just add one of there NODE devices? | |
New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui SACD is a low priority. Just seemed like more companies are starting to support i2s so I assumed if you get a DAC with this it's a little more future proofing. |
