| What does your DAC sound like My experience is for not much money the Denafrips Pontus ll is a very good sounding dac. In fact I purchased the top terminator model and preferred the sound of the Pontus. However the Holo May Kte is what stopped my search. If you don’t care abo... | |
| Test @rvpiano Happy to hear your audio journey going well. I had tried many streamers too. Tried all, the Eversolo models, up to the A8. Tried the Hi Rose 130 Transport and really wanted to like it. I did not like the way that streamer rendered trebl... | |
| New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport I also purchased a Hi Rose 130 to do local playback. I had trouble working wth the software, and the unit did not sound as good as streaming local from my Mac air. Bought an Aurunder N20 and all was good. | |
| McIntosh MA352 replacement I have the Mac 353 which might be out of your price range. I put in some PSVANE Horizon tubes and I concluded these are the tubes that should have come with the amp. Tried gold lion and they were not as good. The Psvane and better bass and clari... | |
| Need New amp or integrated...have some options I would recommend Hegel. I have 5 integrateds.Krell K300, Accuphase 380, Hegel 390, electrocompaniet eci 6,Macintosh 352, Pass 250. The HEGAL has characteristics of all of them. It’s a superb sounding amp for the money. No risk with this intergrat... | |
| Integrated that blew you away @blackbag20 Just picked up a Krell k300i and this integrated is some of the best I heard, at a reasonable price. Using it with a Pair of PS audio FR 5’s. The grip from this amp is iron fist. Even at very low volume very dynamic and smooth. | |
| ~$3-5k speakers for moderate volume listening: Spendor A4, Fyne 501SP, Focal Aria X no. 2? @zander024 My Hegel 390 is very good match for the E50. Now that I have put some time on them, it’s one fabulous speaker. The best articulate bass I’ve heard from a bookshelf. | |
| Hegel hum? My 390 is dead silent. Even putting my ear right up on it. | |
| ~$3-5k speakers for moderate volume listening: Spendor A4, Fyne 501SP, Focal Aria X no. 2? The new Buchardts E50 will be perfect for you. You can turn then down so low until you hardly hear them and they will still sound dynamic. I’m blown away by these speakers. No sub is needed. They can be returned if they don’t suite your taste. | |
| Integrated that blew you away The new Buchardts E50 connected to my HEGAL 390 is blowing me away. Smooth, wide soundstage, incredible bass, very articulate highs. I have 4 other integrated and hoping my Pass 250 will go to an even higher level. | |
| Krell CD player replacement The Hegel CD player is supposed to be pretty good. Might want to check it out. | |
| Need help with Aurender N20 I also have a Aurender N20 and Holo May KTE DAC. I am using USB and my treble and resolution is superb. I try AES, but notice no difference between ASB and usb. BTW, I'm using Cardas USB. | |
| Buchardt e50 reviews @bluethinker I own the Buchardt 400Mrk two limited edition. This speaker has an upgraded crossover. It has a more extended treble than the regular version. In comparison, the E50 sounds like a floor-standing speaker. The E50 is more neutral and ... | |
| Buchardt e50 reviews @stuartk Out of the box, I had my Electrocompaniet integrated(latest model) connected to the E50, and my mouth dropped. The speaker sounded just like how it is described on the Buchardt website. After a period of time, I connected the Hegel 390.... | |
| Buchardt e50 reviews Yes it was a long wait, but to Buchardts credit, they kept me informed as to progress. They had a big issue with part shortages. That is now corrected to my understanding. |
