| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? I auditioned both the Gumby multibit and Metrum Musette at the same time and in the end, kept the Musette. | |
| Harvard U. article on hearing loss research @jc4659, yes, I did.The moderators removed my post, for anyone wondering. | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? @audiofreak32...I must have a screw loose because I don't care for upsampling at all as it sounds less natural and more artificial than a good NOS R2R DAC to me.Too each his own, I guess. | |
| Why no tube loaner/testdrives--It's hard being an audiophile Nothing to add here other than I got a good laugh at many posts cuz I can relate. Thanks guys. | |
| the eternal cable question After reading Nonoise's post, there's no need for anyone to comment further. | |

| Zephyr won't play nice with Phenomena 2 I see you asked about the Allnic and Herron in another thread. I never heard either but from reputation and Buzz on the 'net, I think they outclass the Chinook. The Allnic is pricier I think, even on the used market. Regarding the Herron vtph 2, i... | |
