| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC @jwm I use a sub router that connects wirelessly to the main router for wired, networked audio in my audio room. In a way, I’m applying both approaches.If you are happy with the sound quality via your wireless setup, and are not experiencing any d... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @bliptrip I had the same concern regarding the Gaia II with the SE, being that the SE comes in right at 120lbs. I do have them screwed into the base of the SEs and I have noted an ever so slight upside over my Herbie's system. I have not used th... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @corelli I’m using Herbie’s Giant Threaded Stud Gliders. Depending on what thread size your outriggers can take, they may be a relatively inexpensive option. $280 for a set of 8, less if you are using a three point outrigger.Herbie also has a very... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? @gbmcleod Looking forward to hearing about the Yggdrasil and where it falls for you. I have found it responds well to isolation, so your use of the Townshend platforms will help stretch it's performance. If you are using the USB input, make sure... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @nitrobob Merry Christmas to you. Are you primarily listening to 5.1 or above recordings?@brotw Given your work and knowledge of the area, do you have any recommendations?I've considered Star Sound Technologies as well as the IsoAcoustic Gaia. I... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Posting on SPLs to make the point about how enjoyable I find the DIs, in this case the SEs, to be at lower playback volumes. And because it raises some questions regarding levels at which we (any one of us) listen to our music. Listening to Sarast... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts If one isn't listening to the Pipe Organ or Movies with an excess of LFE or music that consistently goes below, lets say 30Hz, would those of you using subs with your DIs still recommend them? If so, what will they bring to the show, so to speak? ... | |
| Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back? @eternalcamper will I hear any difference if I upgrade my R & L front channels to the Reference from my Ones?Yes you will. Being predictive, since it is the end of the year...you will also love the differences. : ) | |
| Chord signature reference versus Audience SX speaker cables I don't have direct experience with Chord's speaker cables.I do have the Audience Au24 SX speaker cables and am very happy with them. I'd expect them to do well in your system. If you are US based, you can demo them via The Cable Company's Lending... | |
| Balanced Preamp recommendations up to $5,500 I'm very happy with my Pass XP-20Take a look at Backert Labs. Their previous flagship, the Rhythm 1.1 for 6K and their current Rhumba Extreme for 5.5K. | |
| A litlle help for choice of speakers up to €5500 (used or new) @lcarpediem That's a very healthy proportioned room for audio performance (5m by 7m is roughly 16ft by 23ft, for us non-metric types). I'm assuming the speakers are setup with the shorter wall behind them(?). The fact that you can have your spe... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... A general update. The Tekton Design SEs have three weeks on them. I’ve had the Yggy (Gen 3 USB) and the Yggy (Gen 5 USB) in system, for two of the three weeks and the Terminator went back in-system two days ago.I prefer having some more time on th... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @danasam Terrific write-up and story. Thanks for sharing your take on the Ares and then the Pontus. I'm looking forward to learning about your full impressions with the Pontus, once it is broken in...and perhaps a comparison of what it brings to ... | |
| A litlle help for choice of speakers up to €5500 (used or new) Miguel, a Merry Christmas to you. What types of music do you listen to? What are your room dimensions and layout and speaker placement options? | |
