| Made in Canada conundrum I'm a Canadian living in Vancouver. I own American made equipment, British and Swiss made products, and a Canadian made SACD/CD player (EMM XDS1) I have had to send some pieces back to the US for service, and as far as I know, there was no problem... | |
| Best Integrated, period. I'm looking at downsizing my system, want to try something different. Currently I use an Ayre KX-R preamp and two MX-R monoblocks, with Proac Response D80 speakers. Sounds great. The dealer wants me to listen to the Rowland Continuum 500. To those... | |
| Firewire DACs? I've been listening to the Weiss DAC202, a Firewire DAC. It sounds amazing. I don't have any listening experience with other Firewire DACs, so can't really make any comparisons. You would not be disappointed with the 202, though. | |
| Pure Vinyl/Amarra Yes - I've run into that problem with PM and always wonder if I've perhaps hit something on the keyboard that might have caused that. Kind of annoying, I agree with you. Perhaps Channel D will address the problem in another version. | |
| Pure Vinyl/Amarra I'm experimenting with both Pure Music and Amarra. One thing I have noticed is that PM maintains a gapless album perfectly - no annoying breaks between tracks. Amarra, on the other hand, seems to put just a very brief break in between "gapless" tr... | |
| Cardas Clear USB cable... anyone tried it? I have a Locus Design Nucleus USB cable, and it sounded great when i was still using a USB DAC. However, I've now switched to a Firewire DAC (Weiss DAC 202) so am not using it right now. | |
| Anyone listening to 24/196? Frequently. My computer system is a MacBook Pro, Weiss Firewire DAC202, and Ultrasone Edition 8 headphones. I use either Amarra or Pure Music. I've downloaded several 24/192 files from a number of sights, such as Linn Records, for example. They so... | |
| Audiophile LOD Cable for iPod Get a Naim DAC - it reads the digital out from the iPod. The DAC itself is wonderful & has been getting good reviews. | |
| AMR / EMM / PLAYBACK Designs Fcrowder, I also own an EMM Labs XDS1, and I agree with you. It's easily one of the best players I've ever owned. SACD is wonderful, and standard CD playback is also great. I use one of the digital inputs with my Blu Ray machine, and the sound is ... | |
| Any better DAC then dCS Scarlatti? I've owned an Accustic Arts DAC, an EMM Labs DAC2, an Ayre QB-9, and now use an EMM Labs XDS1 in my home system, and a Weiss DAC 202 for "portable" use. The XDS1 is a joy to listen to. Murataltuev, to say that SACD is almost impossible to listen t... | |
| Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac? I just got the Naim DAC last week. Hooked it up to my HDX and 555 power supply - the sound is amazing. Very open, wide soundstage. Sounds considerably better than the HDX on its own. Highly recommended! | |
| Wavelength Proton I just purchased the Proton. I'm using it with a MacBook Pro running Amarra. It sounds great. I use it as a portable DAC with headphones - out for coffee, that sort of thing. I'm having a blast downloading hi-res files. As well, I found that J. Go... | |
| EMM Labs new XSD1 single box player I just picked up an XSD1 from my dealer. I'm trading in my previous units - the TSD1 & DAC2. I like the idea of a single box with digital inputs. It's a bit early to say exactly what it sounds like. As for fit & finish - nothing wrong that... | |
| Best Standard Def DVD Player under $8,000 used? I recently swapped a Classe DVT-300 transport out of my system (off for some repair work), and in it's place, bought a Sony BDP S5000ES BluRay machine (thought I'd try out the format). What a disappointment! The Classe blows the Sony out of the wa... | |
| Top 3 power cord for DAC I'm using an Aural Symphonics Magic Gem right now. Sounds good. Am also going to try a Nordost Odin & Valhalla, then Crystal Cable Ultra & Dreamlline. I'm curious to hear if there really is a difference. |
