| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? I recently listened to a $69k DAC is a Boulder system and everything sounded glorious! But did the DAC sound $67k better than my Pontus ll? Well... put your Pontus in that Boulder system, listen to each dac for a week and let us know! | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui If I were you, i would just continue improving the sound of the yggdrasil with power conditioning, dedicated power line, better cables, upstream components (DDC, streamer), better ethernet infrastructure, etc. When you do that and lay a solid fo... | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? There are Denafrips and other R2R dacs (5k and below) that seem to sound superior to relatively older 20k+ Dacs i’ve heard. Having said that, the ASR descendants of imbeciles who claim that any dac is only as good as the realtek dac in their PCs ... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? @thyname "But I have to say: whoever says a cheap box store $50 pair of speakers sounds just like a $50,000 pair of speakers, or some cheap headphones for 50 years ago… I want to have what you are smoking." Since this thread is about midfi or h... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? HIFI-ish and Midfi-ish speakers can be found at almost any price bracket. However, Klipsch heritage speakers have enough design flaws that they can't be considered hifi in comparison to other speakers in similar price brackets. | |
| Sweet Sounding DAC This thread largely reads like an assortment of dac advertisements put together. The higher end dac sales must be struggling these days, eh dealers? Lol OP, get any decent R2R or multibit dac and skip delta sigma. That constraint alone will wee... | |
| Update on good Ethernet switch @tonywinga , I would recommend decoupling/isolation with a pair of fiber media converters (FMCs/SFP transceivers) and a fiber patch cable in between. Use a low noise lps or similar for the decoupled FMC. Thereafter, use a good ethernet cable from ... | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? If cost is a constraint, i would go with the competence level of the speaker engineer. It takes very competent engineering to offer something good at affordable prices. On the other hand, it is much easier to make expensive speakers that sound goo... | |
| Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact? Biggest impact: Speaker Cables Mas o menos: Interconnects Minimal: Power cables - Diminishing returns maxed at a 100 dollars if you have a decent filter or conditioning solution. | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? @1971gto455ho , I have known a thing or two about this forum (common sense:rare, Troll Accusations: Frequent). It is the reason that I post here rarely. Generally, I just like to look at some threads and have a laugh. | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? Spend some money on speaker cables, interconnects, amp power cables and if you really want to push it, upgrade the rca/XLR cable for the subwoofer. But, spending on the power cable for a subwoofer is just stupid. You realize that you are talking a... | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers Generally, Magicos look nice. The shape of this one's just kinda ugly. | |
| Multichannel power amplifers VS 2 channel power amplifiers @mesch there is a thing called multichannel music (5.1....5.1.4 atmos, auro 3d, etc) | |
| Multichannel power amplifers VS 2 channel power amplifiers @mesch ....Assuming the 2 channel amp would cover the 2 fronts, that leaves out the center channel for the receiver's power amp section on your suggested solution. The center channel is just as important as the 2 fronts on a multichannel music set... | |
| Multichannel power amplifers VS 2 channel power amplifiers @russ69 i would think he needs something decent sounding for the 5 channels of his bed layer (fronts/center/surrounds), i.e., a 5 channel amp. Some compromise could be made on height channels and so on for sure. I personally don't know of a 5 chan... |
