| Will DAC always sound better going straight into a Power Amplifier? I think it's about the output voltage of the DAC and the input voltage of the amp. I plug my Orchid DAC directly into the Decware amp. I control the volume through software and it sounds good to me. The Decware amp has its own volume control so... | |
| Flagship product to build around @ebm So you're saying DAC is the product build around cause I'm cheap and lazy? | |
| Flagship product to build around @erik_squires Thanks. Another question. You have suggested using blankets and pillows to get an loose idea of where acoustics should be positioned. I'm currently using blankets and pillows on bar stools to get them near my listening height. ... | |
| Flagship product to build around @erik_squires Regarding room treatment. Wouldn't the treatment vary depending on the speakers chosen? | |
| Flagship product to build around @ebm You're probably on the right track to build around an amp but a Class A/B amp and 350 Watts seems more like a boat anchor than a flagship. For that money I'd probably go with the Coda #16. Similar power but the first 100 watts are Class ... | |
| Is Tidal messing up for you? Would you Choose Amazon over it? Already did and wouldn't look back. Amazon with a Prime membership is much cheaper than Tidal (look at the annual plan) and a much better selection. Device support is much more limited though and playing in the car thru the pone works really we... | |
| What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile? @pesky_wabbit Will what can I say. The guy’s an idiot. 😁 and he's still could be considered audiophile | |
| Upgrade system to stream Tidal A Raspberry PI and the best DAC you can afford will give the best chance of competing with your current source. What about the paradigm Monitor 9s do you no longer like? | |
| What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile? I was on a thread here where a guy was asking for tracks that would show off his speakers, and appeared ecstatic because he had a system that allowed him to listen to his speakers without the music distracting him Not sure your assumption is re... | |
| Limited soundstage between speakers For experimental sake just move your listening chair forward until you get the soundstage you are looking for. From that position optimize your speakers forward and back from the front wall. As the speaker move forward the stage should improve but... | |
| New Power Cable on a 1990 Hafler DH120? Power cables do make a difference, If you haven't heard it you either aren't listening or didn't try the right one. You will have to solder the connection to the amp board and a large diameter power cable will require you to probably drill out t... | |
| Interconnects for MHDT Orchid I used the 6922 adapter from Amazon and am currently using 7308 halo getter. It seems to have more output than the 6922. My favorite was the Amperx D getter 6922 from the late 50s early 60s. I an leave the top on but the tube does stick furthe... | |
| What is your favorite cover? I like the quilt my mom made me the best. For music Take me to river - Talking Heads | |
| Interconnects for MHDT Orchid Connecting my Orchid I used as short of large gauge cables as I could find. Not a lot of money but the Amazon CESS-163-8i Low Noise 12 Gauge Premium RCA Audio Line Patch Cable (8 Inches) sound really good.i know expensive cables are in fashion bu... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts vs the competition.... My suspicion is that if you mention the name in the post and that person objects the moderators will remove it whether it's abusive or not. The reason that some peoples posts are removed and not yours is because the person named complained as abu... |
