| Accuphase dac 60 @jjss49 thanks, I don’t mind adjusting the volume. I just really didn’t see that big of difference for the money to justify it. Something just sounded off to me. I appreciate everyone’s input, trust me. This is all new to me and a learning curve... | |
| Accuphase dac 60 @celestial__sound I don’t know anything about pot settings or anything that technical. All I know is the ps audio is much different in sound. Way better bass, midrange and treble. Way louder, more forward like a 800 horsepower car vs a 300 horse... | |
| Accuphase dac 60 @lalitk what about the DENAFRIPS ARES II R2R DAC? | |
| Accuphase dac 60 @lalitk that is what I am thinking also. Is that a pretty nice dac? Seems like lots of people have it. | |
| Accuphase dac 60 So, another question for you guys. When I start streaming here soon, I will probably get the bluesound node. My dealer recommended that one. I will probably use the USB port on the dac. Should I keep the dac 60 for that purpose? I’m pretty sure th... | |
| Accuphase dac 60 @oldrooney Thanks and thanks for the info. I didn’t know that. I had the same Classé delta cp500 pre as and Classé ca2200 amp with this ps audio dac for 18 years. The upgrade to the e380 Accuphase was a pleasure surprise in sound quality and mus... | |
| Accuphase dac 60 Thanks everyone, sure is a learning experience the higher up you go in the craziness. | |
| Accuphase dac 60 First time with me personally ever noticing a change with burn in, which I was never a believer in. Now I am. | |
| Accuphase dac 60 @lalitk I see, makes sense now. It’s not a bad dac at all. Sound is better the longer it runs and actually more bass now. Just the volume difference between the two something I’m not used to. If I didn’t have the ps audio here to compare it to, ... | |
| Accuphase dac 60 @charles1dad Yeah, I’m sure there is a reason. It’s just crazy to me. First time experiencing something like this and at $2,000. curious what you meant by this “Wow! I hope the resolution is this simple. That’d be terrific news.”? I just r... | |
| Accuphase dac 60 It is now in the first slot and option 1 selected. No difference than slot 2. Just have to turn the volume up more to match what I’m used to with the ps audio dac. I do notice that the dac 60 is a clearer sound and less distortion, it seems. | |
| Accuphase dac 60 @thyname it is. Clearly marked which one to select. There is just a huge gain/volume difference between the outboard dac and the accuphase. the card is inserted properly. It does sound good and getting better, but not worth it compared to what ... | |
| Accuphase dac 60 You can put the dac card or phono card in either slot, just have to select option 1or2 on the front depending on what slot you are in. | |
| Accuphase dac 60 @jjss49 no I did not. It clearly states in the manual either slot, does not matter. Then you select option 1or 2 on the front depending on the slot. Talked to a couple dealers also, besides my dealer and they also said it doesn’t matter. | |
| Accuphase dac 60 @ronboco the dealer has been great to deal with and said I can return it. I hooked the ps audio back up this morning and the difference is amazing. That gain or volume difference feels like adding a separate amp. I’m still shocked, because this ... |
