| PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR The answers to this thread for sure will reassure PS. No matter that its DAC is introducing harmonics where they don’t exist, that is changing the original music and removing any hope of fidelity. The denial bias of many people confronted with pro... | |
| Ayre Codex vs. Lampizator Amber II Codex measurements are awful. Probabably is not necessary to spend that much to upgrade. BTW I just looked at the Lampizator site and there are not data of the performance of their DACs, just blah, blah. Huge red flag for me. https://www.audioscie... | |
| Pono and the Ayre Codex Another epic review at ASR destroying a fetiche product of hi-fi reviewers. ASR is the must go place if one wants to have a clue of what is purchasing. I just wish Amir could expand to speakers. Very few hifi products are passing the engineeri... | |

| Dynaudio Special Forty vs. Contour 20 @taww,I've been surfing your blog. Highly recommended, with common sense and really very well written. That's a skill that I envy;-). I've being looking at your posts on the Audiovector SR1 arretee. It's the size and price I'm looking for an upgra... | |
| Genelec SAM active studio monitors for home use @gosta,great to know from you first hand experience. The 8331 were driven digitally or with some DAC?. I've been looking at the specs of your Unity Audio Boulders MKII, and truly they are monsters. To find something better, you'll probably need... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @ yyzsantabarbara ,I’m looking for something similar to you: small office, and low/moderate volume levels. I read, and read, really nothing conclusive. At this moment, some quality active monitors like the Genelec 8331/8341 look the best option fo... | |
| Holo's new R2R KTE Spring-2 Dac @georgehifi yes, tha'ts true. I've been probably unfair with that statement. Anyway, we have to wait and see how the second encarnation performs. There is now a new DDC with a ESS chip with I2S interface, the Gustard U16, that if complains with t... | |
| Holo's new R2R KTE Spring-2 Dac Level 1 ($1698) & 2($1998) looks the most interesting to me. The KTE version looks expensive or risky to me taking into account that there is little warranty that chi-fi Holo Audio will exist in a few years. | |

| Genelec SAM active studio monitors for home use @gosta what transport are you using to feed the Gennis?. A DDC with AES or some DAC?.Best | |
| Genelec SAM active studio monitors for home use I'm very interested in experiences from audiophiles with these genelecs. Particularly in their capability to convey the tone of the instruments, and how they perform with female voices. I want to upgrade my Proac 1sc+Valve amp (20W class A) for ne... | |
| yggdrasil dac and Innous Zenith MK2 @david12 UK magazines judging UK brands use to be a not very reliable source IMHO. So, their reviews on Qutest are worthless for me. | |
| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen @dave_b,what are your favorite materials for drivers?. This thing should be something easy to test properly. I remember Voxativ's owner saying something similar to you referring to aluminum drivers, like a 'non musical material', and praising the ... | |
| Paradigm Personas: A First Listen I just found a review of Persona B, bookshelves I was interested before the reviewhttp://10audio.com/paradigm_persona-b.htmthe review is crystal clear, it's not to usual useless professional review garbage. Highly recommended. |
