| DAC vs. Preamp Mike,Have you tried a Devialet D200? After hearing one, you may be like others Devialet owners who are done with separates. It'll take care of your amp, pre-amp & DAC and will drive any speaker load. Prior to the Devialet, I've had separate h... | |
| Any recent experience w/Ridge Street Audio? It pains me to write this as I've been doing business with Robert of Ridge Street Audio for mearly 10 years. In June 2012 I paid him $1,600 for new cables and sent him over $4,000 worth of Alethias interconnects and speaker cables I sent him for m... | |
| What are the "must have" HD Tracks albums? Has anyone noticed that some of the HDTracks songs are mixed much different than the redbook version? Specifically on the Seal Best 1991 - 2004 album at the 4:32 mark of the song 'Don't Cry', the backup vocals are almost non-existent. It sounded a... | |
| Zodiac Gold w/Volticus vs Bel Canto w/VBS-1 I recently purchased a Zodiac Gold + Voltikus power supply. I have about 300 hours of break-in but right out of the box I knew it was a keeper. I have it connected to a 2011 Mac Mini via USB and I use PureMusic for playback. I don't use it as a di... | |

| IROC DAC or PS Audio Ultra DAC / Digital lens I have owned the iRoc for about a year. I used to own a Wavelenghth Brick and Cosecant (non-async version) as well as the Bel Canto DAC 3 and the iRoc blows them all away. I recently upgraded my iRoc to the new MusicStream and have logged about 20... | |
| How Do I Point iTunes to use my backup ext drive? I think I've figured out a way that works for me. Again thanks for everyone's great responses to this question. I also believe there are multiple ways that can be used so many of you although you had different recommendations are probably correct ... | |
| How Do I Point iTunes to use my backup ext drive? Sorry Rel and Herman for not replying sooner. I'm not sure what I did to access my backup but soon after the hard disk crash I was able to use my backup and access my playlists and music files without much difficulty. The fun began a few days late... | |
| USB DAC's -- the best Look into the new async version of USB DACs as this seems to be the most noteworthy improvement made in the past couple years. Wavelength offers the async version in the Brick & Cosecant. Not sure if there's an async option for the Crimson. I ... |
