| New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport @tonyptony No volume control enabled. I've never tried DSD over DoP, only Native. Regardless, 99.99% of all the music I listen to are NOT DSD so I can live without it. Perhaps my own unit is defective or I didn't configure it properly, but as lon... | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour V @timski Before settling on the Toubadour V I had a Schiit Yggdrasil OG. I had previously listened to a Denafrips Aries (not sure which gen), a Weiss 204, a Gold Note IS 1000 integrated with DAC included, and a Mola Mola Makua pre with DAC included... | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour V I've had the Toubadour V for several months now and it is very satisfying. I have compared it with some other DACs and much prefer Vlad's house sound. I did ask Vlad to upgrade the fuse on mine for an extra upcharge. Highly recommended. Punches w... | |
| DAC suggestions for a reasonably modest system An out of the box suggestion, look for preowned Audio Mirror Toubadour III or Toubadour IV DACs. They punch way above their price range and give a beautiful analog sound. Vlad is very responsive and is always available for upgrades and repairs. Ha... | |
| New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport @tonyptony I stand corrected. The RS130 can do DSD when using I2S. But not through AES/EBU or USB. At least not with the curent firmware. Maybe it gets fixed and you can do DSD through USB soon as well. | |
| Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's? Contact Vladimir at Audio Mirror and see if you can snag a pre owned Toubadour III or IV that someone may have traded for the V. It will fit your budget and given you a great tune sound. He’s very responsive and can upgrade the components as well.... | |
| New streamer @bill_k I believe I need to investigate further. I have 3 DACs currently - Audio Mirror Toubadour V, Okto Dac8 Stereo, and Schiit Yggy OG. I was looking at getting the Cen.Grand DSDAC Deluxe but didn't know if it would be a good match. Another pr... | |
| Meitner MA3 vs Mola Mola Makua with DAC installed vs Cambridge Audio Edge NQ @questforhifi Hifibroker.com based out of Spain I believe. https://hifibroker.com/pre-amplifiers?product_id=951 | |
| New streamer I have a Hifi Rose RS130, Lumin U2 and a Silent Angel Munich M1T. the hifi rose RS130 is considered one of the best in the market currently but it doesn’t do DSD if that’s important to you. Also out of your budget. 5K. Lumin U2 is almost j... | |
| Meitner MA3 vs Mola Mola Makua with DAC installed vs Cambridge Audio Edge NQ @mgrif104 Thanks for pointing out the Auralic Vega and Simaudio. I'll have to research them and check them out. | |
| Meitner MA3 vs Mola Mola Makua with DAC installed vs Cambridge Audio Edge NQ Thank you. I recently bought a Hifi Rose RS130 and realized it only does PCM. I was going to pull the trigger on the Meitner but realized that it makes less sense if my transport can't carry native DSD directly to the DAC. I will have to reconside... | |
| New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport I just recently bought an RS130 after reading all the positive reviews. I already own a Lumin U2 and a Silent Angel Munich M1T. I did some A/B testing between the 3 and tested the RS130 with 3 DACs - an Audio Mirror Toubadour V, an Okto Research D... | |
| Pathos amplifiers comparison I’m aware I’m posting on an old thread but I’m adding my comments in case someone new comes across this thread when searching Google or agon. I have the pathos synapse and pathos Adrenalin monoblocks paired to Dali Epicon 8s and sometimes Foca... | |
| DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE I purchased an Audio Mirror Toubadour V DAC built for me by Vladimir in Minnesota. I had the opportunity to put it up against a friend’s Chord Dave and also a Denafrips Pontus II and we both agreed the Toubadour had that tube sound that the Dave a... | |
| Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer? I have a Lumin U2 and I just moved it into my main system. I am currently looking to get a Streamer/DAC combo instead to reduce the number of boxed separates in my office environment. I can say that the Lumin U2 was a great value add to my system... |
