| Anyone have experience with the new ELAC DDP-2? I’ll chime in as the owner of a DDP-1 with separate PS-5 upgrade power supply. The DDP-1 was initially recommended to me as being of exceptionally good audio quality, especially considering its price point. The fellows who recommended it do ultr... | |
| What to do? Buy a new motherboard and rebuild? Or wait for failure? Addressing the Windows 7 vs Windows 10 responses:The owner of my tech support company has been to my house twice on service calls and each time we’ve talked he mentions his strong preference for Windows 7 and disdain for Windows 10. He says it’s ... | |
| What to do? Buy a new motherboard and rebuild? Or wait for failure? I first want to apologize for being so unresponsive!! I had expected to be notified by email when a response came in, but none has!! So I have just now revisited this page and found to my surprise there were many responses, so I will need a litt... | |
| Help for an Old School Audiophile About a year ago I decided I wanted to move into streaming my own music. I had a collection of around 400 CDs and 1000 LPs. I have four very standard and I suppose “old-fashioned” two channel Stereo systems, the main one an almost high end livi... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn+microRendu -or- PS Audio DS Junior? I am interested in choosing between this pair of DACs aalso and would very much like to read more comparative info about both of them.I lean to the DirectStream because of the infinitely free upgradable feature. And also because the decision to g... | |
| PS Audio uber dac you have to remember with this gear that NO ONE should pay retail for PS stuff...I paid 62% of retail for a new unit from an authorized dealer so just remember that when you’re talking about the price of that gear. I’d sure like to get 62% off a ... | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? I’d like to stir up this thread in hopes of more comments. Everyone who has contributed has praised the company and I have no doubt about that. But I was interested in more comparative listening comments. How does their DirectStream DAC or the ... | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? We picked up Oppo 205 from the local office on July 2. Really happy to get it and very happy with it. I wouldn’t give up too soon. The earlier you put in your request, the more likely you will get one. We put in our email request around 7-8 A... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? Just want to add a follow up thank you to all who contributed to this thread and from which I have learned so much! As I start to write I am on a much needed break from the boring task of ripping CDs. I am on my second listening of a SACD recor... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? I am so behind on this thread! I have to apologize for not being responsive for the last week. Just five days ago I finally took delivery of the Naim Uniti Core, which is a long awaited and much anticipated addition to my audio gear. My nephew got... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? Hegelsjh, you are addressing my weakest area. I’ve almost no experience with a stand-alone DAC. Let’s see if I see your point: which I think is that if all digital audio passed through a common DAC it would all sound much more similar. Is that rig... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? I think it’s time to just listen for awhile. A couple of weeks at least. Become more familiar with how the new components are sounding and let them settle in. Just last night, listening to the music of Tosca via satellite TV I felt the extra b... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? I must agree. My system setup is confusing!Just to turn things on I have to follow this routine. All but the last two steps have their own remote control to pick up and put down. I’ve wanted to invest in a Neeo for some time.Turn on TVTurn on Arc... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? Thanks, auxinput for info on HDMI Audio. And the compliment on the Musical Fidelity! It was wasted at my computer.It never occurred to me to try the Arcam’s digital outputs because I’ve always preferred analogue. Which gets me to thinking....I... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? I’m listening now after about 48 hours of continuous play. Too soon to be sure, but my first impression is there has been some improvement, though I’m not sure how much. I need much more time for listening to a range of familiar music programmin... |
