| 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... | |
| Hegel H390 or NAD M33 for Bowers and Wilkins 802D2 speakers? 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... | |
| Removing a ZERO from the price of amps NAD just announced their Purifi based 2-chan amplifier.https://nadelectronics.com/nad-intros-c-298-power-amplifier-with-purifi-eigentakt-amplification/I just purchased a Benchmark AHB2 yesterday to compare with my Pass X250.8; if I don't take to i... | |
| Any RME ADI-2 DAC FS owners here? Thanks for the info @adg101. I already have a nice Shunyata Digital Alpha power cable so I ordered a C7 to C14 Adapter Cryo Treated from Take Five Audio in Canada. Once that comes in I'll swap cords and if I hear a difference I'll then consid... | |
| DAC for Bricasti Design M5 Network Player Yea, it had a Mar 2020 ship date. I considered it, but I was told it is $1500 if you don’t have it, so the $1000 seems to be when buying new. That is my fault for not realizing the difference when I purchased it without the streamer. Since I f... | |
| Any RME ADI-2 DAC FS owners here? @adg101, which model of power supply do you use and what cable? Does the cable have the locking connector? I find I get intermittent connection if I don’t lock the stock cable (which I didn’t know I needed to do until folks here pointed that out... | |
| DAC for Bricasti Design M5 Network Player You could also try the 30 day trial of the RME ADI 2 FS dac from Sweetwater with your M5. It is ~1/5 the cost and is crazy good for the money. I run it balanced into my Sim 740p preamp. If you find it underwhelming simply return it. I sold m... | |
| Removing a ZERO from the price of amps I just received the latest Stereophile and Herb Reichert just reviewed a Purifi based amplifier built in North Conway NH. After opening with how he generally dislikes the sound of class-D, he gives this LKV amplifier a very good review and the m... | |
| RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000? @oddiofyl that was it, I wasn't locking it; thanks!@sfseay, my M3 had the MDx board in it from the factory. I find the ADI-2 to offer a little less resolution compared to the M3, and less drive and dynamics. The ADI is smooth and very easy to ... | |
| Suggest Best DAC under $1500 for "Elac Navis ARB-51" Active speaker. I purchased both an ADI-2 FS and Topping D90 MQA over the last couple weeks. I have both running in but have spent a little time listening to each. My previous DACs were a SimAudio 380DSD (owned for 5 years) and then a Bricast M3 that I replace... | |
| RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000? I picked up an ADI-2 FS last week and have been letting it run in for a few days. My previous DAC was a Bricasti M3.For the money, I very much like its sound quality, and that doesn't take into account the many features it offers.A question for o... | |
| Commercial streamer (bricasti m5 spotlighted) vs Raspberry Pi 4 implementation. I just sold my M3 to try a few other cheaper DACs. If I re-purchase it I will get it with the Ethernet input. When I talked to Bricasti requesting info on getting the Ethernet input added, they suggested it would sound better than the M5.For now... |
