| Uptone EtherRegen I just purchased one today so it will be interesting to try it out; hopefully I'll get it in a couple of days. My switch supports both fiber and copper so I'll start out with the copper cable and then jump to the fiber to see if I hear any diffe... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 @mitch2, congrats on the Mystique V3 balanced! That is exactly what I purchased a few months ago; it will be interesting to hear your thoughts on it. I'm using a Bricasti M5 with Roon to feed it's SPDIF input. I found its sound quality jumped... | |
| Music streamers After using a Raspberry Pi with a HIFIBERRY DIGI+ PRO SPDIF board and iFi power supply (running Roon) for years to feed decently expensive DACs (e.g. Berkeley, SimAudio, Bricasti, Mojo Audio) I finally tried a streamer upgrade after spending les... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 I found the M3 to sound very nice in my system (Sim740P+Pass250.8+SpendorD9) but if the preferred sound is ' like the more natural sound (to my ears) of NOS R2R DACs' I personally didn't find the M3 to offer that compared to the Mystique v3; assu... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 @grannyring I may have purchased his v3, as the seller was from MN :)We've discussed the DAC recently and he was telling me how it has been tough for him to find a replacement for it... I'm certainly very happy with it! | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 I'm also a big fan of the Mojo Mystique! I recently sold my Bricasti M3 and have replaced it with a Mojo Mystique v3 Balanced.grannyring's statement of "natural and right sounding" is right on the mark from my perspective; I find it extremely mu... | |
| Class A or AB Solid State Integrated Amp for Spendor D9's - Coming from Tubes I have D9s with a Pass 250.8 and I think the pair sounds excellent together. I find the Pass offers a bit of warmth that goes nice with the neutral-ish sound of the D9 and the soundstage depth the D9 throws with the Pass amp is very nice!The 250... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8 I don't have the exact match but it is pretty close. For 5 years or so I ran a 740P + 380DSD into a X250.8. I think it sounded great; very musical with lots of front to back soundstage depth. I went from a 600i integrated and it was like mov... | |
| Anyone with experience with Spendor D9's? I've owned D9s for a few years and am very happy with them.My previous speakers were Magico S1s, and I decided to try a bunch of UK speakers and tried the typical list: Harbeth SHL5+, 40.2, B&W 804D3, KEF Reference.One of the dealers mentione... | |
| Choosing an Amplifier to go with Spendor D7 I'm running the 250.8 with my D9s in a (~13x17) room with great results :)The 250.8 is way more power than I need and I'm tempted to try swapping it out for the X30.8. I don't think you would need the 250.8 with D7s.Another interesting option i... | |
| spend on the streamer or on the DAC ? I'm also using the S/PDIF input on my Mystique 3, just like I did on my previous DACs (Bricasti M3, RME ADI 2 FS) and I prefer the sound of the Mystique to either of these other two very fine DACs... | |
| Thinking about getting a R2R DAC @thaluza, I just picked up an R2R Mojo Audio Mystique V3 Balanced and after going through a list of DACs over the last 6 months in my system have liked it the best as well. I've owned the SimAudio 380DSD (kept for 5 years), Bricasti M3, RME ADI ... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO I just grabbed a used Mystique V3 Balanced this week and it is incoming. It will be my first R2R DAC and I'm excited to try it vs my recent handful of DACs (SimAudio, Bricasti, Topping, and currently RME).I'll be using the SPDIF interface from a ... | |
| Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i Another option to consider is getting a good quality C7 adapter; this gives you lots more choices for the cable.I just recently sold my full sized DAC for an RME ADI 2 which uses C7 and then started looking for C7 cables and my list pretty much ma... | |

SoundStage HiFi just dropped a review of the Purifi powered M33.https://www.soundstagehifi.com/index.php/equipment-reviews/1480-nad-masters-m33-integrated-amplifier-dacI have not owned a NAD integrated since the NAD 7175PE which was a very nice pi... |
