| A Top DAC Chord dacs are good better with headphones than speakers to my ears. I sold my TT2 to upgrade to the dCS Bartok. I couldnt be more pleased. We tested this against my friends dave with the mscaler and preferred the Bartok on speakers on headphones ... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars I am pretty sure only the relentless are powering the xvx. The other amp is to power the wilson subs in the corner. I heard this setup at axpona last year it is pretty amazing. | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips Sorry, but this is complete rubbish.Some of the best dacs out there use ESS chips - Ayre, Brinkmann, Lumin, Mytek. I've owned a "good" R2R dac - a Metrum Pavane - and the Ayre QX5, Mytek Manhattan II and Lumin X1 with their ESS chips walk all over... | |
| Speaker recommendations 10 to 30k and no beryllium Wilson yevettes or a pair of used sasha daw.I know that you are trying to stay away from BE. If you are willing I highly recommend Magico S1mk2 or s3mk2 as well as rockport atria2. | |

| Best DAC - Preamp Combo $5 to $10K Budget I would suggest looking into the Chord TT2 and Dave. They are both excellent. If you can stretch a bit I strongly suggest the dCS Bartok. I owned the TT2 and auditioned the Dave and found that the I preferred the Bartok to both of them. It also ha... | |
| Streamers with best apps? With auralic you could use airplay to stream from amazon I believe. | |
| Which of these power cords ? Maybe try transparent performance power cords they are $125 for 1m cord. I like them for build quality. | |
| Streamers with best apps? I would recomend Auralic. I recently upgraded from the Ariea G1 to the Aries G2. They are both great but if you can afford it I recomend the G2. I was using a macbook pro to feed my Chord Hugo TT2 previously. I.can say without a doubt the the stre... |
