| McIntosh to Luxman? Soix “My experience with Mac is that it’s very tonally rich but is rolled off in the upper treble range that veils upper-octave detail and the openness of the overall soundstage. My experience comes from working for Magnolia at Best Buy and hear... | |
| Streamers made in America? I just purchased the Cary DMS800 PV. I now have both the Cary DMS600 and the DMS800PV. The best choice I have ever made especially since I have been down that rabbit hole chasing the best streamer/DAC. Best of luck to you guys on finding the rig... | |
| Streamers made in America? Ummmmm! Cary Audio DMS600 DMS650, DMS700, and DMS800 PV. All excellent choices! Hard to beat. | |
| The Forgotten Let’s take you back to 1988! How about a recently restored monster. The legendary Krell KRS200 Monoblock amplifiers ( Pure Fixed Class A) that can go down to 1/2 ohm. I’m a lucky man!! Running it with a pair of Wilson Audio Maxx 2 speakers. | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll Dynamiclinearity you forgot about the Krell KRS200. Pure Fixed Class A down to a 1/2 ohms. One of the most powerful Pure Fixed Class A Amps on the planet. Clearthinker i agree with you 100% My response as well: Have you done away wi... | |
| Looking at best option for 20-25k for DAC Streamer combo I disagree with Benzan’s response. I’m not sure what he is running with his DAC Stramer but I’ve owned the Bricasti M3. The Cary DMS 700 is equivalent to it. The Cary DMS 800PV is at another level. To get to similar levels, you would need to step ... | |
| Looking at best option for 20-25k for DAC Streamer combo I would definitely consider the Cary Audio DMS 700 or the DMS 800 Pro. Very hard to beat. Check out the reviews. It definitely won’t disappoint. | |
| Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass? Cary Audio SLP-05 with the Ultimate Upgrade plus an unbelievable real Headphone Tube amplifier. Hard to beat. | |
| CD Transport Question YOU ARE DEFINITELY MISTAKEN AS THE PIONEER ELITE PD-65 CAME WITH BOTH COAXIAL AND OPTICAL. ITS OKAY TO BE WRONG AS IT IS SHOWN IN THE ARTICLE AND THE MANUAL. YOU DEFINITELY HAD A DIFFERENT MODEL UNLESS YOU NEVER OWNED ONE. ARTICLES AND MANUALS DON... | |
| CD Transport Question @tweak1 Are you sure you’re talking about the same units. Last I checked both the Pioneer Elite PD-65 and the DV-09 have the option of Coaxial as well as Optical Outputs. I use mine with my Chord Dave DAC. You may be talking about their other mo... | |
| CD Transport Question tweak1 Not sure where you are looking for lasers. They are the same for most high end CD Players and Transport. Example, Esoteric to name one. Also, I’ve tried the Audiolab 6000. It’s okay at best. It doesn’t stack up to the PD-65 or even the DV-... | |
| CD Transport Question I recommend 2 choices. A Pioneer Elite PD-65 or the famous Pioneer Elite DV-09. The DV-09 is built like a tank and there are a lot of reviews being used as a transport. Fully copper chassis inside including the famous TEAC CD Loader. The PD-65 pla... | |
| Sound quality of Roon https://carydirect.com/shop-now/dms-800pv.html | |
| Sound quality of Roon Go with the Cary Audio DMS600, DMS650, DMS700 or the mighty Pro Series DMS800 streamer DAC with a Roon Nucleus. Very hard to beat the sound quality and the ease of use with the apps. I’ve never looked back since I have made the move. They sync bea... | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? Avan Are you sure you’re looking at the right Cary Audio preamp? They have both balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs. May want to double check. |
