| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range Wow...lots of good suggestions. I don't think I can audition them all, but certainly will check into them further. @gkr7007 , I do have a limitation in shelf height, the maximum height I can arrange is around 22cm or 8.5 inches, in talking to... | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range @metaldetektor , Thank you for the suggestion, and I have heard good inputs from many sources about Mola Mola Tambaqui, check into used market is a good idea. | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range @jgoldrick , Thank you for the two links and your simplified steps. I didn't know about rePhase, with that, I think I am ready. I placed the order for UMIK-1 and will see how things go when it is delivered. | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range @izjjzi , Thank you for your detailed input. I have direct experience with Holo DAC, but not the May, and I do plan to check it out. | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range OP, I can understand wanting to go to a balanced output DAC, but I have to ask what the DAC is plugged into? Maybe your upgrade lies in the pre-amp? Regards, barts The output of the DAC goes into an Integrated amp, a Luxman L509X. | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range MSB Discrete. Try the Wyred4sound 10th anniversary dac, one of the most analog sounding dacs on the market at any price. I have very good inputs from people regarding the higher price MSB DACs, but will look into MSB Discrete DAC as an optio... | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range I have had the Lumin u1 mini, A1, D2, and X1. If you can find a used Lumin X-1 for under $9k end of the story. IMO, is the best DAC/Streamer under $19k on the market. I now have a Lampizator Pacific which costs twice as much as the X1. To be ... | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range I can highly recommend an Audio Research DAC 9. Thank you, I will check into this DAC. | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range Of course there are tube DACs too that probably lean more your way, but not sure if you’re open to going that direction. In fact, I do, Lampizator is on my short list to try and possible Aqua. | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range Have you tried changing filters or convolution with hqPlayer? I have a Totaldac d1core that I love. hqPlayer with convolution help to make up for room issues. I used REW and rePhase with a umik mic. Definitely not easy, there is a learning cu... | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range If you can audition a Meitner MA3 try ethernet from the server to the MA3. Let the MA3 resample to DSD1024 before converting to analog. This is an interesting direction I have been thinking for a short while by getting a network capable DAC... | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range May I ask what you are feeding your terminator? I have a fanless server sending USB signal to the Terminator. The server is using i9-12900K CPU, and running Audiolinux as OS, HQPlayer as music player, using Taiko DC-ATX and an ULPS (Unregula... | |
| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system I got one of the two amps here, a Luxman L509X, and just have it connected earlier tonight. The initial impression is very positive, but there are going to be some additional changes/tweaks I need to do to the setup over the next several days, bu... | |
| Belles Aria Signature and other Int Amp recommendation @joekapahulu , Thank you for the listening impressions. I am leaning toward the Signature as well. Based on what I have gathered, Signature seems to do everything in more refined level and the bass region is more improved over the standard vers... | |
| Belles Aria Signature and other Int Amp recommendation @twoleftears , Thank you for more detailed listening impressions. Sounds like you enjoy the Aria quite nicely. @b_limo , Good to have such a positive endorsement. Is it fine to know what amp did you change to? |
