| Sound Upgrade from a Bryston Bdp-3 swede58, have you had a chance to make this comparison yet, between the USB and SPDIF connection? I'd be interested to know if you heard a difference. | |
| Looking for a DAC to pair w/ Jay's transport mk2 I'm very pleased indeed with my Denafrips Pontus Gen 15, if that's any help. I posted a review of it in this forum on 11/13 which you may find useful. It plays extremely well indeed with my Shanling ET3 CD transport, and I expect your Jay's Audio... | |
| Having a Flashback Friday - Airplane Induced I had the good fortune to have spent my high school years in the late 60s in the San Francisco area, and got to experience psychedelia in all its glory. And yes, I misbehaved in all the typical ways for the era. I have two go-to flashback albums:... | |
| DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ?? If it's any help, I posted my review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 here (under the Digital heading) on 11/13. I'm aware that this DAC presents differently from its predecessor, the Pontus 12th (based on what I've read, having never actually heard... | |
| A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC fthompson251, I hope you'll share your impressions of the new Terminator when it's up and running. Very interested to hear how it compares to your Venus II. If I remember right, my Pontus 15th took about a week to arrive. I was impressed by how fa... | |
| New room needs new speakers, I need your help I enthusiastically recommend Ryan R610's. I admit I'm kind of a cheerleader for these rather underappreciated speakers, but they do everything right, especially for a small(ish) room like the one you describe. I'm using them in a room that's somew... | |
| Anyone own/heard the LSA Statement 100's? Thanks, jonstine. That's very helpful and definitely food for thought. | |
| A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC One other detail that I should have mentioned in my review: Denafrips doesn’t include a power cord with this DAC, leaving it to the customer to supply their own. You’ll want to use a good one here, as the unit definitely benefits from it. I’m usin... | |
| Anyone own/heard the LSA Statement 100's? Thanks for the responses I did get to my original question. The fact that nobody who actually owns these speakers has weighed in on them here makes me wonder if (a) very few people (if any) actually own these or (b) those who do don’t frequent thi... | |
| Anyone own/heard the LSA Statement 100's? OK, I’ll take that as a no, then, shall I? | |
| PayPal Friends & Family listings. Why is this becoming so common? I've now started asking buyers to use PayPal F&F or bank check, or even personal check (ships when cleared), not just because of the PayPal fees, but also because the new rules compel PayPal to generate a 1099 form, which complicates things en... | |
| A question about the Bryston BDA-3's HDMI inputs Update: in the end, I've gone a different direction by buying a Denafrips Pontus Gen-15, the newest iteration of that DAC. Price was irresistible, and it appears that this new version is analogous to the previous Venus II 12th in design and sound.... | |
| A question about the Bryston BDA-3's HDMI inputs Thanks for the response--I didn't think so either, but thought it worth asking. The BDA-3, as I understand it, can only render DSD files via USB, but renders SACD discs via HDMI. | |
| Just upgraded to Fiber Optic feed ( 500Mbps) from Spectrum (250 Mbps) OMG Did they also upgrade your router? I have a sneaking suspicion that this could also be a factor. I'm currently using AT&T Fiber at 300 Mbps and it's pretty good but I'm waiting for a new company (Sonic) to finish building their infrastructure ... | |
| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs I have Audience Au24SE speaker cables and RCA interconnects in my system. I'm also using their Studio One jumpers. The Au24SE's are, of course, an older version of these cables but I'm very pleased with them and not in any hurry to upgrade. Previo... |
