Is it true that a digital cable has to acclimate to your system? I use the Orchid and absolutely love it. Tried numerous cables from many other brands,but the Kimber is a keeper for me. And yes a little run in definitely improves its sound. Don't be so quick to give up on it. If in the end you decide to sell it... | |
It's time to replace my 2009 factory-modded Wadia S7i with a current R2R DAC. John,I'm a Wadia guy. Still use my Model 8 transport on a daily basis with no issues after 15+ years. Dacs I combined with it were a Wadia X-32 upgraded with at&t glass input option. Then moved up to the X-64 which I liked better. But like yo... | |

Another Bi-wiring question: Amp related I used to run Vandy 3A Signatures with McIntosh 501 monos. After much trial and error using (2) stereo pairs of cables, I settled on 4 ohm taps for mids / highs and 2 ohm for the bass. Experimentation is the key. The differences are subtle, but n... | |

Actual Rega Osiris owners I'm confused by your reply as it doesn't really address my questions.Since you own the Osiris.1) what type of volume control is it? Continuous or stepped ? If stepped what are the steps ( 1, .5 db etc.)2) what does the readout show when volum... | |

Upgrade Triton two to Triton two + Dave, FWIW I have Triton 1's for sale in a custom color on USA Audiomart. My son has the 2's and there's no comparison, night and day difference. The 1's are far superior in every way. | |

Need advice! Do I upgrade DAC or buy a new player? I think an Electocompaniet ECD-1 would be to your liking. Basic dac like you wanted,it upsamples everything to 24/192. Use the aes/ebu digital output from your Emotiva with a Kimber Orchid cable into the dac nets a very analog sound. Also has bala... | |
