| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @sls883 I have never been good at describing music- but will try. The WiiM was much clearer, the Hegel was depressed. The WiiM sounded fuller, kind of blooming (not booming). I forgot to mention earlier- the Hegel of course was hard wired via Eth... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? Only last week, at a friend’s house we did a comparison between the streamer of a Hegel H590 vs a WiiM Pro Plus streamer. The WiiM was fed into to the Hegel via Optical and Coax at different points. The DAC used for all three instances was the Heg... | |
| PSAudio Directstream DAC M-1 (refurb) vs Denafrips Venus II. Quick decision needed! Never heard the Denafrips. However had ordered the MK1 from TMR and last weekend compared it to the internal DAC of the Hegel 590 and also a Weiss 202. Both the MK1 and the 202 could not hold a candle to the Hegel. Suffice to say the MK1 is on its... | |
| Low Volume Speakers to pair with Gato 150 I have the Amp 150. Currently paired with floor standers. In the past it has been paired with the Gato FM15. I have sold the FM15s- and they are the only speakers I miss. Out of production now, but if you do find them used, they will be less than ... | |
| All in One amp up to $7k @billynine been there done that with Naim. Though I loved it, just want to try something new. | |
| All in One amp up to $7k @jer rhanks for the recommendation on the Gold Note. Will audition them. | |
| All in One amp up to $7k @arizonabob thanks. It seems it is a streamer/pre-amp akin to an Eversolo for example. Am looking at an integrated with streaming. Currently homing in on a Hegel H390 | |
| All in One amp up to $7k @mbmi I could get one at a very good price. Maybe $6k. But it doesn't have a streamer. so not decided. over the last 2 days got home a Musical Fidelity m2Si for a home demo. It sings and for the price (new $1k) it sings beautifully. It held more ... | |
| All in One amp up to $7k @greenngoldcheesehead Have heard a lot about Atoll. In Dubai, difficult to find. Maybe on my next trip to Europe- sometime next year. I did try the Devialet Expert 220 earlier this week. Small package - breadth and width as much as Project turnt... | |
| Qualio IQ owners, still happy? @ozzy62 I enjoy them a lot. Everyone who listens to them is blown away- including me. As I said earlier, I prefer it for vocals. Love the Axxess L3s also. Completely different sound signature between the two. The IQs, I think a lack a little in ba... | |
| All in One amp up to $7k @g2the2nd will look at Nad over the weekend. @melbergall I have eyed an Anthem STR for sometime - the heft scares me a bit. Will try and listen to one. Finding a used one in Dubai could be a challenge- let’s see. | |
| All in One amp up to $7k It’s a thought @mapman though I do seem to have a mental block when it comes to Cambridge Audio. | |
| All in One amp up to $7k @audioman58 i already have a separate set up- streamer, DAC and amp. i hear you in the Hegel. I will look at that and reach out to the person you mentioned. @megabyte usually I would be able to ship and amp to the UAE from the US. I have done th... | |
| All in One amp up to $7k thanks @audioman58. Looking for an all in one though. Streamer for sure in the same box. | |
| All in One amp up to $7k any views on the Devialet Expert 220 Pro with Core Infinity? I have an opportunity to get it for around #3.4k- used. |
