| Micromega M-100/150 field reports I'm hoping some of you might have some insight to share... I currently have a Hegel HD30 DAC, H30 amp, and Revel Concerta 2 F36 (the speakers may seem like the weak link, but they sound far superior to my ears compared to many other speakers I’ve... | |
| Integrated amp + DAC + room correction all-in-one for Nola Boxer 1 + REL R328 sub Sorry to revive an older thread but I'm hoping folks subscribed to this discussion may have some insight... I currently have a Hegel HD30 DAC, H30 amp, and Revel Concerta 2 F36 (the speakers may seem like the weak link, but they sound far superio... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 @ghasley what did you buy to replace them? Indeed the lack of volume control is a key reason I haven’t jumped on purchased a dac like the DAC-1 only because at present I don’t have a pre-amp (and the added expense of a decent pre-amp would likely... | |
| Doge 7 tube DAC Agreed... much appreciated. | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 Doge clarity 7 best DAC at any price.I have owned Berkley Audio, Lumin, Chord.....etc. Just curious... do you have the stock tubes or did you replace them (and with what)? | |
| Doge 7 tube DAC Just curious for those of you who’d rolled the tubes, any particular tubes you think pair really well? I see on the dodge website one reviewer really felt compelled by the sonic improvement using Tung-Sol 12AX7 tubes. I love how so many folks pair... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Thanks @eckie77,very interesting about that analog pre-amp volume control as an option on the Spring 3. I'm curious why they don't offer a similar optional upgrade for the May? After all, if someone wants "their best" DAC, but also wants this feat... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC I'm still months away from a new DAC, and now the May has moved into my sights which were previously fixed on the Wavelight. In my system I have no preamp (just feed my current dac with volume control direct to my Hegel amp) so one thing that attr... | |
| Ansuz I don't think you will experience what your high-end components are truly capable of until you try such excellent cables. For all the nay-sayers, all I can say is try them for yourselves. Dealers usually have loaners you can borrow, but don't sa... | |
| Aurender N100H + Core Power Technologies USBe = HUGE improvement I work in IT too :)And I when I finally got a USB Server/DAC combo I thought "Great! Now that the master clock in the DAC is independent, and can just pull data packets and buffer them, *finally* digital cables won’t make any difference since the ... | |
| Does removing "interface jitter" help, if my source has jitter? Just like with anything, when you’re wondering about jitter... first get used to the sound of your system/gear as is. Then make a change and see if you hear any difference. If your DAC really does turn out to be "immune" to jitter... then changing... | |
| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well Count me as one who can definitely hear the differences between (at least some) DACs.Having said that, I’m not suggesting that "new is always better" or that there aren’t vintage products that are competent with red-book CD (16 bit, 44.1 kHz) audi... | |
| MSB select II vs all dacs ? Just wanted to say that my own experiences with Bob and worldwidewholesales has been positive. I never felt pressured, and all of the advice that he gave me turned out to be 100% true. It started when I was comparing various USB cables (between my... | |
| Rockna Wavelight thoughts? Hey jimpittsburgh would love to know more about your impressions of the wavelight and also a bit about your system (music server, digital cable connection... are you using the wavelight as a premap etc.). If you get time... thanks! :) | |
| Review on the Rockna Audio Wavelight Pre/DAC just went up on Stereo Times vgrubb would love to hear your impressions now that the unit has settled in as well as what you may have found experimenting with connecting in your system feeding your integrated amp vs using the pre-amp function of the wavelight to drive the amp... |
