| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 @yyzsantabarbara 2 years ago I had the AHB2 with Dyn Contour S3.4 Le's and was initially impressed by the little amp, but overtime grew to dislike the sound; super duper detailed ...to a fault in my mind; There was something very odd about the pre... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 hello; I currently have Focal Sopra 2; I have a PS Audio Directstream (had the A21 Halo/JC2 combo, BHK and also LS27 so similar hardware experience as you) and currently run a luxman m900u amp (c900u preamp inbound); Previous to the Sopra 2’s I ha... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @mattnshilp forgive me if I did not pick it out of this lengthy thread (really wish agon had better inner-thread searching) but have you heard the MSB Discrete DAC? Even with the extra power supply and a quad USB module, the DAC is well under 15K;... | |
| Looking for a high end integrated to suit Dynaudio contour 5.4's @plb02 what did you decide on? Thanks! | |
| LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U I had the 509X, and it is stunning, best integrated i’ve ever heard by a wide margin; The 509X does not have the C-900U preamp. It might have a few bits here and there, but make no mistake, it is NOT a C900u; that being said the 509X is amazing a... | |

| Pass Labs XA30.8 Dear Auditory,Yes I mean the Bryston 4B Cubed (4B3). Bryston stopped using the SST naming convention after SST2 (squared).Btw, just a tip: perhaps you ought to check your frequent posts for grammatical completeness and accuracy. It may help in you... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8 The XA30.8 will totally have enough power to perform to your stated goals and then some. I used an XA30.5 on my Dynaudio Contour 60’s and was absolutely floored by how awesome it sounded; Drove them to perceived distortion free levels beyond which... | |
| R.I.P: Rest In Peace Roy Johnson, Green Mountain Audio's Genius Aww, Very sad. I have had a few discussions with Roy over the years. Best customer service I have ever experienced in this field. He took the time to detail out the smallest things, that end up being the big things. Late last year I got 2 of his l... | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! interesting results; I wonder if the TOSLINK connection has something to do with it (ground loops, etc); i recall a similar result when I connected my Mac Mini via its combo toslink/audio port to my USB DAC; the optical input sounded much better t... | |
| what is it in audio that you dislike most? 1. great songs/albums ruined by hideous production recordings that get worse with "better" systems. Some are mixed SO poorly that I often hope those responsible have been sacked2. resale 3. placing excessive emphasis on digital playback hardware d... | |
| PS Audio Directstream Junior Owner - Still beneficial to buy a separate server/streamer? @rbstehno did you / do you experience any low level ticks/pops when streaming DSD from Roon to Bridge II? I do. It's very subtle but DEF there. Snowmass version: 3.0.5Bridge version: 3.6.17Roon Core PC --> Netgear Gige unmanaged switch --> 3... | |
| PS Audio Directstream Junior Owner - Still beneficial to buy a separate server/streamer? @rbstehno i am discovering similar thing that you have and have been on sort of same path. Do you have any DSD files you stream via Roon to your DSD/BridgeII?Thanks | |
| Want a new amp but what to get? I had those exact speakers for two months. I used a Primaluna HP Dialogue premium. That was plenty of power; the 948 are surprisingly easy to drive. The sound was effortless. I currently have Dynaudio contour 60's which really benefit from the p... | |
| Dumped the rack I see this is mainly a thread about reducing bad vibes in TT setups, but does same thing apply to all components? I have a pretty heavy amp, that has rubber feet bolted to the amp chassis; The amp is about 105 pounds and is currently on an amp sta... |
