| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k We demo a lot of DAC's for customers/home trials and they always choose the Mola Tambaqui. It is truly a DAC that competes with more expensive converters. I cannot say I agree with comments saying it isn't musical, it is very much so. However, the... | |
| All in One Solution for Streaming Do not forget Hegel! Their integrated amplifiers have good DAC's and onboard streaming They can do Spotify, Tidal, Roon, AIrplay, etc. | |
| Aurender N200 - DAC compatability We are a an Aurender dealer. I have had a couple of DAC's that did not jive with the Aurender at first. However, their support team can help. Also, Aurender should be able to play DSD up to 128 Check this link out: https://ask.aurender.com/hc/en-... | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? @ricco275 @facten Yes, that would be the fastest way to make sure. @ricco275 Thanks for sharing the update of the changes with the new preamp. Your findings are concordant with what I have observed over the last couple of years, especially sin... | |
| Metner MA3 vs Playback Designs MPD-6 We sell the MA3, however not the Playback Designs. The Meitner is extremely smooth, very detailed and has a wide soundstage. The upconvert to DSD, the fullness of the sound, and instrument separation are top notch. Very good build quality, volume ... | |
| 15k for streamer and dac....how much on each? @audiocanada lots of opinions on this. We’re a dealer in Minnesota and are really passionate about digital audio. We love all sources but things have gotten so good on the digital front that there are some amazing options out there. That said, we ... | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? @ricco275 It's not really a fair comparison until you get a decent dedicated streamer. The renderer module from MSB is quite good for the price tag. You would probably need a streamer the quality level of the Innuos Pulse, Aurender N200, et... | |
| Aurenda and Tidal and Qobuz connect We are Aurender dealers. Agreed with @tvad on their support. It is excellent. If it helps here is a link to the information they will need when you contact them. They may remote in and configure a fix for you, and get you up and running in no time... | |
| For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces? We are late to the party on this post but I wanted to share this because Audionet is not a household name. We picked up the Audionet line last summer and it has done nothing but impress the heck up of me. This is just my opinion, but I’m putti... | |
| Shopping for a DAC at AXPONA @jmeyers This is James from Choice Audio, I thought I would add a little more. CONGRATS on your RETIREMENT! I will actually be at Axpona 2024. We will have a Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC in room 1427 (Vinnie Rossi and YG) and a Merason DAC1 mk2 in r... | |
| Shopping for a DAC at AXPONA We sell the MSB, as well as the Mola Tambaqui, the Meitner as mentioned, and a few others. Feel free to reach out for opinions, but I think you are spot on, nothing like hearing it, and best on your own system & home. Axpona will be a lot of f... | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? The Aqua La Scala is a wonderful DAC. Both the DAC1 and LaScala check that musical foot tapping, get lost in the music box. If you want my opinion of the differences, feel free to email me or PM me. james@choiceaudio.com They are both great, a ... | |
| The time has come and I request advice... We sell Aurender and have the N150 on demo currently. Happy to answer any questions. I can tell you it’s built like a tank, sounds great and I really like the conductor app for navigating music (Tidal & Qobuz). Typically I use it in critic... | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? Hi Bluethinker, I just replied to you in a private message. Thanks! Choiceaudio | |
| DAC Help : Please Weight In - Down to 5 We sell the Mola Mola and the Aqua lines. Amazing DAC's but very different designs. If you are also looking at a streamer, the Mola comes with one, the others you would need to add one. I think some of the options depend on the accompanying comp... |
