Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC 1) Which accounts for the most sonic improvement? A quality dedicated CD Transport or a Quality DAC? 2) If a person could assign a percentage... by what % did your cd transport improve your sound? By what % did your new dac improve your sound... | |
Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? I found the welcome back song fellas and it's a good one. Diplo - Dance with me https://youtu.be/1dJFk3PP6MY?si=5yC24WnOLiMvux-8 | |
Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? I wouldn’t call them scientific, but they do have their own sound in my mind. One of the best "scientific" attributes of Magico is the power response. The extremely wide and even dispersion makes these speakers throw an excellent image to a wide ... | |
Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? The problem here is that there are too many poor made records. Clean sounding speakers show the defects in the original record and often make it unlistenable. This is what some refer as "too accurate" or "clinical". The solution is - choose what ... | |
Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120 Klipsch, Focal....crappy speakers, but, it will do the zing zing zing...bring some light into the Gryphon darkness (I suppose). If that zing wasn’t enough either, get a Schiit EQ and turn the top end frequency knobs all the way up/light it up...f... | |
Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? For the record, i have a hermes + venus catching dust in one rig...waiting for a good believer's home. What tad and technics are able to achieve with 1 box (how about throwing a top notch sacd player in it too, if you like)....some others need 15 ... | |
Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? I have not contacted Mike Moffet via Head-fi web site to ask why he does not use a clock, but I do not have any concerns about Schitt DACs supporting a clock. @yyzsantabarbara dCS: "In a dCS system, the DAC can act as the system master cl... | |
Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! There are very few subwoofer make/models that integrate to a higher standard with Mags. Other than that, it is a great value w.r.t price vs fidelity levels obtained......for dudes who don’t have to deal with 3 dogs and 5 cats (Mag abusers) runnin... | |
What's my best upgrade options - Get rid of the Cary Audio CD player and get a Technics SL-G700M2 SACD/CD player+streamer+dac unit. - Get the Daniel Hertz Master Class Software and convert digital files with it. It will get you to the sonic equivalent of master tape and you wi... | |
Is "detailed" audiophile code for too much treble? The best test is a symphony orchestra. +1 Many audiophiles will shake in their pants before they touch the orchestra though ....because that’s when their million dollar rigs fall apart (all gear sold by the emperors with no clothes shall get ex... | |
Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing? Unless you hear Magico speakers in a dedicated listening room where every detail has been addressed you’re probably not going to hear their potential. A good buddy who has S7’s and VAC 450iQ mono’s/matching preamplifier told me that the relati... | |
A brief review of GR Research Bully I’ve got the NX-Oticas; built them with some skilled help. I would not trade them for any other speaker I’ve heard and yes, I’ve heard the Magico M9s pushed by ~$750k of top-shelf electronics. My intro to GR was the double trouble sub kit, whi... | |
Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? As for the dude saying adding a DDC is just adding another box so can’t possibly help and is just a way for a manufacturer to make more profit, well that’s just stupid and not even worthy of a response. Many, many people here have added a DDC and... | |
Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? It is a poor idea to have the equivalent of DDC function in a separate box with a cable in between. Such function should be packaged as close as possible inside a dac directly before the conversion occurs (negligibly short signal path). In fact, a... | |
A day in the life of an audiophile I get what you are saying. You may want to read up about the hearing condition known as hyperacusis. I could be their poster boy. Example: having to wear hearing attenuators or just basic ear plugs just to unload the dishwasher. @mwh777 . What ... |
