| Lumin or Aurender @ozzy I have a couple of BDP-2s and a BDP-1. Both BDP-2s have factory IAD upgrade. MPD is great, and if you use Roon, it works well. I just picked up an Aurender A10 player/server. It is not Roon capable, but it’s sound reproduction is outstanding... | |
| Cardas Audio Service Quality I have had only good experiences with Cardas. Not sure why you did not. | |
| If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money @mikepowellaudio - I find your comments about PS Audio curious, since you’ve never "had it (the Direct Stream whatever) in your rig." You’re but another guy with an big opinion on the inter-webs....BUT I’d be interested in why you’ve come to the c... | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? Love my Gumby. Great DAC in the $1250 price range. | |
| Femto clocks ,every unit should have one I just upgraded my Wyred DAC-2 (base version) with the femto clock. Turnaround was very fast. Mailed out and back in my system in exactly a week. Sounding great so far. | |
| PS Audio PWD MkII vs W4S DAC2 Have the W4S DAC-2 paired with PWT and Bryston BDP-1. PWT coonected by I2s and the Bryston transport by AES/EBU. I am very happy with the performance of the digital sources. My understanding from what I read is the W4S DAC is pretty close to the f... | |
| PS Audio GCC 250 vs Wyred 4 sound STi500 My previous system was Parasound P3, A23 times 2, and HCA1205a multi channel amp. Parasound makes nice music, but has a higher noise floor, and runs much warmer than the Class D Wyred. | |
| Power cable thoughts for Krell Kav/Proceed Amp 2? I second the Cullen Cables nomination. Great cables at market friendly prices. I have three of them and I am very happy with their performance. | |
| PS Audio GCC 250 vs Wyred 4 sound STi500 Can't speak to the PS Audio integrated, but I have a W4S STI-500 integrated amp which serves as a preamp to a 7-channel W4S MC7x250 power amp feeding three sets of Monitor Audio Golds and my surrounds. Both amps are routed through a PS Audio Power... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? That's easy. Let the wives buy what they want, and they are less likely to bother you when you buy what you want.Girlfriends have no say. If they do, find another. | |
| How do you test different tubes? Truemaineac - in lieu of NOS, sometimes you can find very good used pulls from old equipment. I found a source where I located several pairs of bugle boy 6DJ8s for next to nothing. I just lucked into them, but keep that kind of source in mind. Swa... | |
| Bryston BDP-1 Own one? What DAC are you using? Bryston Bdp-1 with Wyred4Sound DAC-2 DAC connected by simply physics AES/EBU digital silver cable. Marvelous. Flac files converted through J River Media Center and DVDAudio Extractor programs. | |
| How do you test different tubes? Tube rolling is fun. I have a couple of components which use 6 volt small signal tubes (6DJ8, 6922, 7308). The tricky part is getting good tubes. Unless you have access to a reliable tube tester you are at the mercy of the tube seller. A weak tube... | |
| Sonos surprise I have the Wyred4sound I2s mod on the ZP 90. Sounds absolutely great. You can only go this route with the W4S DAC which has the HDMI receiving port. Believe it works with some PS Audio equipment as well. The analog inputs are removed from the Sono... | |
| Words From the Wise Don't get hung up on the equipment. Enjoy the music. |
