| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one Fully get it. I've heard the X5 as well as the 7. Both are nice units. I personally like the Onkyo with balanced outputs for just a bit more than the X7. I like it for the under 1k DAP's. It's sound in balanced mode is close to the more expen... | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one Even if you aren't in the market, they can easily move it into a system since it's so small, lol. Are you in the Dallas area? Nice guys down there. I send a lot of my OK/TX friends there. Pono is great for the price, but I agree on the limits ... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Lim, are you talking about the Quatro's being a step up from the Treo's or the 3a's? | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one Erik do yourself a favor and go listen. I honestly don't know how they put what they did in there for less than 2 K. It's one of the Best Buy's in all of audio. I hear it often with the Ayre ref stack and Vandersteen 7 mk 2 and it just plays musi... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Any one who wants can post and should. I'm not monopolizing anything. Not sure if Johnny is posting or not as I haven't gone back to read. Just living in the moment. You don't think the Treo's can rock or boogie or whatever and I certainly fe... | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one I wasn't a big fan of the 9, just wasn't. I do like the Codex a ton. Erik, have you heard one yet? Very few DAC's compare when it comes to an all everything, set it up and play music. The balance headphone amp is very well done too. | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Yes, for Rock, you want that pressuring bass and often times the poorly recorded stuff sounds better when it's not as revealed. I agree with you on that. Always have. I personally don't see why something is outside of a discussion, but thats' fi... | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one Erik, I understand what you are saying, however I do have a fairly decent ear. I don't like most products on the market for that reason. To many products are fatiguing when they reveal too much. Just not engineered properly for my money. The on... | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one Erik, that's what makes this hobby fun. I invite you to listen to my Mac Mini. It was rebuilt by Steven Nugent rebuilt the one I am using and installed new SSD drives and he upgraded a Paul Hynes LPS to drive it all. It sounds as good as nearly... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Well put as always Hifiman. If you are looking to just pressurize a room, then yes, the 3a is your speaker. I have always said that. All anyone seems to be saying is the 3a is a better speaker because it moves more air, but that's not giving th... | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one Erik, anyone in this league needs to have a good source. That goes for any DAC. If your source isn't good, then there is no way anything else can sound good in the system. I've heard this DAC with an old Macbook running Flac and no special soft... | |
| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 I've heard them a few times in the last 6 months or so. Different gear and different rooms. They aren't thick or warm to me. I thought it was a large presentation. Sounded very good I thought. I wouldn't buy them as I like a couple of others ... | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one It's killer. I have friends who have now put Berkley ref mk 2 up for sale as they bought the QX5 Twenty on the spot. It is incredible. | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Guys, the bass on the Treo is nearly as low as the 3a sig's, but tighter. I hear folks make the statement that the 3 bass is better, but it just isn't, especially if things are set up correctly. Richard is the first to tell you this. I play eve... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade I heard those 30R's that you will be auditioning, lol. I actually bought the Linn Kiko system he had as he wanted to get rid of it and I wanted something for the bedroom. It's worked ok.I personally think the Vandersteens are much more detailed,... |
