| Is there anything other than a Benchmark DAC? @demich I went with the dCS Bartok 2.0 (used). It is the Bartok version before the apex. I should get it next week. Weiss 501 was a close second, but I thought there would be too much brightness when using it with my B&W 804 D4s. | |
| why expensive streamers @andy2 there are many types of memory and storage. I am saying if there is an issue with noise coming through the streamer interace a designer could easily solve the issue. All they need to due is use something called an asynchronous fifo. The sol... | |
| why expensive streamers @jaytor thx for giving potential technical reasons for selecting one streamer over another, but I believe there is an easy solution for the issues you describe.WIth your assumption that streamers can get bits correctly to the DAC, all the DAC desi... | |
| why expensive streamers @mikhailark that is a great description of what is going on with the difference between digital and analog transfer. In terms of noise in bits, assuming that source file has no noise, my understanding is that the only way transferred (not digi... | |

| Is there anything other than a Benchmark DAC? @mitch2 yes I am, tho I am leaning towards something suggested in this thread. | |
| Is there anything other than a Benchmark DAC? More great stuff thx all. @yyzsantabarbara Yes I run my DAC3 through an ARC tube pre and then to a Boulder amp. It really sounds good, both through vandersteens and B&W's. @cundare2 I do think the DAC3 will end up in my second system. I have... | |
| Is there anything other than a Benchmark DAC? Thx all. looks like quite a few good choices. I am going to enjoy looking in to all of them. I will let you know what I pick and what I think of it after some listening. | |
| Is there anything other than a Benchmark DAC? thx bhvf, i will give M6X a try. soix, I think for the most part I want to find something with a different sound. That's why I was thinking tubes. Don't want to step down much in quality from the DAC3. | |
| Ortofon Cadenza Blue vs Sumiko Starling @555avanti1960 What equipment was used to evaluate the cartridges? Do you sell stereo equipment or just a end user? | |
| Long digital or balanced cable run? @designsfx I believe AES is digital. I was referring to balanced analog. I do not had AES inputs and outputs. | |
| Mcintosh with Ayre pre-amp What combination did you decide on? Did it work well for u? | |
| Wilson Sabrina (not X), Sonus Faber Nova 2, or Vandersteen Treo CT Thx for the responses, I guess the Treo is preferred by this group😉. Last time I stereo shopped in ’88 my final three choices were the KEF 104/2s, Vandersteen I think 3a but might have been the 2c, and the Dahlquist. I remember the unmatched clari... |
