| DAC recommendations Thanks for the Qobuz push gentlemen. I hate being tech lazy but I am. There’s usually a hiccup and it’s usually me! Probably time to convert. As far as dacs go, I probably don’t need to go that crazy but always wonder what the weak link is so I d... | |
| DAC recommendations You’re probably right. I should upgrade the stock tubes supplied with the ModWright before I jump into the next thing. I just wanted the amp to have it’s own voice so to speak without the preamp tubes adding more. Perhaps in the meantime, I will g... | |
| DAC recommendations It’s been a long time since I’ve replaced a system, 25 years actually. I’ve forgotten how annoying it is to have to choose which “revolutionary “ options to opt for. Less wires means a dac with a built in streamer. What happens when tech changes? ... | |
| DAC recommendations Was curious about using a dongle. I do now. For Air Play with the Cambridge it limits resolution to 16/44. Not sure if that will be the same. Still sounds good but would be nice to not lose resolution. Thank you for the response. | |
| DAC recommendations Scratch last question. Yes according to website. | |
| DAC recommendations If I chose to go with the Bricasti m3 and Qobuz, would it require a land line from the router to the Bricasti? It’s a long run, 50 feet, and would require additional work. I’m trying to find the simplest quality sound solution. Less boxes, less wi... | |
| DAC recommendations Thanks for the link. Yeah that’s not happening! | |
| DAC recommendations How is Air Play deficient? They have recently gone Lossless and stream high def files. Am I missing something? If I am, I will certainly look into changing. Thanks | |
| DAC recommendations My issue with the Bricasti is the streaming. I have Apple Music and it does not support it. I would have to jump over to Qobuz. Not the end of the world but not optimal. Just spoke to a dealer today regarding the m3. It does seem to check most of ... | |
| DAC recommendations I forgot to add and I don’t think it’s a measurable quality, soundstage. It’s okay with the Topping but I’d prefer a wider, deeper soundstage with a bit more instrument separation. 👍 | |
| DAC recommendations Cool. Thank you. Not familiar with that company. Will look into. | |
| When were the best tube amps made? I recently purchased a Roma el34 push pull as my first tube amp. I’m on the Decware list and purchased the Roma as a temporary amp. I owned a ss Rotel amp and preamp, Velodyne sub and used both AR10’s and B&W speakers for 25 years. Had the Rom... | |
| When were the best tube amps made? Thanks atmashere. I read some in the beginning and a couple towards the end. I will go back and reread the entire thread. Have a good weekend. 👍 | |
| When were the best tube amps made? But do they sound better. I’ve ridden old Harley’s and recently owned a new Road King Special. There is no comparison that the new is a better bike, which doesn’t even come close to my BMW 1250GS. I like vintage stuff too but it doesn’t mean it’s ... | |
| When were the best tube amps made? Would be really interested to hear from an engineer and tube amp builder today who has seen and heard many generations of amps. What makes a tube amp good? More dynamics, more bass, balance, all of the above etc….Have parts improved over time? I h... |
