| Revel Salon 2 vrs Kef 207/2 One speaker worth shortlisting that is priced at $21K right between sasha and kef is the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation. I replaced my Revel Studio's with the Parsifal Encore's. If you're listening to smaller acoustic smaller ensembles this speaker... | |
| Revel Studio 1, B&W 802N or Sonus Faber Cremonas Actually, I would start with stating a budget first. Recommending Salon2's is all nice and well but I sold my Studio 1's for $4,000, which is about 1/3 of what you would pay for Salon2's. You shortlist suggest you are shopping in the 4,000 - 6,000... | |
| Best SACD Player in the $2000 Range Kjl, to be able to give you advise on a player you need to specify is you are looking for a 2 channel SACD player, or if you have a multi channel system. Then, if you are looking for multi channel you need to specify is you are looking for an anal... | |
| Networked Universal Players...best future value? This is exactly the setup I had in mind when I bought the Oppo 93. I already have my library on a NAS in FLAC, and stream to the perfectwave dac+bridge in the basement. I was hoping to stream over DLNA/UPNP to the Oppo in my living room system usi... | |
| How close to the real thing? Many variables. Type of music being a very important one. I have never heard any system capabable of reproducing the almost physical low bass energy you experience live in a Jazz club. Thenagain, solo instruments and small acoustic ensembe music c... | |
| Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge For me, the TagNPlay app is well designed and has very good usability, but it has has some annoying instability issues (mine freezes for about 30 seconds about 50% of the times I switch to the app). Not sure when PSA will resolve this but this stu... | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? I'm a little late to the game here but could not resists weighing in. There is no doubt in my mind that a very good recording which is available in a 5.1 and 2.0 mix, is more enjoyable in 5.1 at any systems pricepoint over say 5K (or even a bit lo... | |
| Perfectwave Dac - computer audio options Sangykim - This comes as a surprise. My brdige sounds close to my Marantz ud9004 (with AC-12 powercable, and silent running audio platform), which is less of a surprise. However, the bridge should trounce toslink straight from a computer. To me th... | |
| PS Audio Bridge: First Impressions Soundgasm - I mentioned TagNPlay (the user interface/controller) for a first production version far exceeded my expectations and works excellent. Far better than all the iPhone based remote control apps I have tried for MediaMonkey, J River and th... | |
| PS Audio Bridge: First Impressions I don't think the bridge has any "sound quality" in and off itself, and as such will not "improve". All the bridge (and PW Transport) does is realize the full sonic potential of the PWD by sending it essentially jitter free digital information ove... | |
| USB DAC, SB touch, NAS Keep in mind that if you are planning to use USB you are not streaming anything. For streaming you would need the PS Audio + Bridge. Future proof USB DAC is an oxymoron as the state of the art in USB DACs is a moving target and price performance c... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 I used to own one and even had it upgraded. It sounds pretty good, but in my view the 10K+ giant killer claim is pure hype. I now own the Marantz ud9004 universal player, which sounds better analog out. The marantz as digital transport into my PS ... | |
| Perfectwave Dac - computer audio options Someone on ComputerAudiophile.com commented The new HiFace EVO USB to AEU sounds nearly as good as the PWT. I personally will be receiving my bridge from the first production badge within the next few days and hope this is is good as it gets. Litt... | |
| Best Subwoofer you've ever heard??? Whatever your subs, unless you have EQ in your SSP, getting a good sub equalizer is crucial. The SVS AS-EQ1 unit works like a charm. You cannot do much better than the SVS with two JL 113's. Without EQ, getting 2 subs set up right is problematic. | |
| Best Late Night Low Volume Speaker I have only owned around 6 different high end speakers but the Verity Audio Parsifal Encores which I got a few weeks ago are by far the best for your late night "application". I have the precise same need, since my private listening time is 11pm -... |
