| Ideas for my next DAC....? It is a rare animal that meets all of those requirements. The Yggdrasil meets none of the OP’s stated requirements and neither the Codex nor the Adagio recommended above meet the first requirement of having Ethernet input. This narrows the field q... | |
| buy a better usb cable or a BT for system willemj,Your quoting the same old single source that aligns with your beliefs is getting worn. Here is a new one to consider:https://www.theguardian.com/science/brain-flapping/2016/jan/26/earth-totally-flat-conspiracy-bobDave | |
| Chinese products @audiothesis,Not a tube amplifier, but a good example of a current Chinese SOTA product. Please review this link and tell us if your build and parts quality requirements are not met. Note the transformers:https://www.denafrips.com/terminator3 year... | |
| New to Digital +1 willemj! It is always good to make up your mind without actually hearing something yourself.Dave | |
| CD/SACD player output options I use an Ayre CX-7eMP player as a transport and it has a AES/EBU (XLR) digital output. Dave | |
| Brand new to vinyl: Help! thyname,lewm is dead on. Big improvement in sound quality using a true balanced wiring harness from your cartridge pins to the K-1xe’s phono input. Don’t put it off. I can help you if you PM me.Dave | |
| 70's Receiver and/or Integrated Amp recommendations All good recommendations above. The Onkyo A-10 integrated was one of the great components on the 70's.

| NOS Shure V15 type III cartridge opinions That would be my pick for a non-OEM and non-SAS option. Just keep in mind that it is not near the SAS in performance.Dave | |

| NOS Shure V15 type III cartridge opinions Black pull body (VN35e) would be right for the elliptical on the Type III. Operating from memory on that one as it was been a long time since I had the elliptical stylus. Sorry bout that.Enjoy your cartridge!Dave | |
| NOS Shure V15 type III cartridge opinions I have a V15 Type III in my collection of vintage MM cartridges. The Type III has a house sound common to all V15s (many love that sound but others not so much), but I find it to be the most balanced sounding of the V15 family, at least of the mod... | |
| Transport for Exogal Comet Plus DAC Agree with twoleftears and lowrider57 that the Comet doesn't need a reclocker. I tried the Uptone ISO Regen/LPS-1 between my Aurender N100H and Exogal Comet Plus and preferred the sound without it. Lost airiness and treble extension with the Upton... | |
