| sub $600 DACs: MF vs Music Hall vs Schiit I would add Arcam rDAC to your list. I preferred it to the v-link. You can get the rWAVE version, which allows wireless streaming. | |
| Experience with Metrum Octave DAC Got mine last week. It is currently burning in. | |
| Do I need a DAC for iPod? If you want to use BOTH the iPad and the iPod to stream music, then I would suggest an Apple Airport Express.You can connect the airport express directly to your amp line ins using supplied cable. The sound will not be that great since the DAC use... | |
| Gryphon vs. McIntosh Delfincek,First of all, I'm surprised you found the Tabu as 'dark', and even more surprised that Gryphonaudio called it 'romantic', as it is not how I remember the Tabu. It probably much depends on what do you compare the amp to. Compared to Calli... | |
| Gryphon vs. McIntosh I second Inpieces opinion regarding Tabu. Gryphon Callisto 2100/2200 sounds much better, not to mention the latest Atilla. | |
| Musical Fidelity V-Link with Rega DAC REVIEW The optical out of the v-link will give you better sound than the coax.Martin Colloms in his review in HiFi Critic found out that the TosLink digital out has less jitter. So it makes sense. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective The well-respected German magazine Stereo, in its January 2011 edition, ran a review of the AA Tube Dac-II, and compared to its reference DAc, MBL's 1511F.I believe none of them is state of the art anymore. | |
| Jplay Mini I have recently had Jplay installed on my custom server by Marcin himself. It sounds so much better than both the Jriver 17 and XXHiEnd that it is almost scary. By far the best 100 euros I have spent on my system so far. Highly recomended ! | |
| Where Can I get the Altis CDIII remote repaired? I belive you can use any Philips RC-5 compatible remote. | |
| Metrum Octave Dac experiences Ordered one of those 2 weeks ago to find out what's the buzz all about, but the lead time is 8 weeks. | |
| Teddy Pardo DAC I have heard this DAC and have nothing but good things to say about it. Very natural, and liquid sounding DAC, maybe even with a touch of warmth, but with excellent resolution.The only disadvantage is the legacy USB input, limited to 16/48kHz, so ... | |
| Anyone playing around with jPlay? Depends on the point of view .... Amarra is $699, so it is cheap compared to Amarra and (acording to TAS) sounds better.BTW - just learned new version with J River integration is ready. | |
| WILSON ALEXANDRIA XLF SPEAKERS- Razmika - do I sense an irony here ?I have owned speakers using Scan Speak 2010, 9300, 9500, 9700 silk dome tweeters (at the time considered to be the best), various electostats, the previous top of the range Scan Speak Ring radiator (the one with... | |
| Dac suggestions to pair with Squeezebox Touch AFAIR John Darko found very little improvement with the upgraded psu when using analog outs, and none when using digital out. He recommended the DAC instead. Schiit is a great option IMO. | |
| Anyone playing around with jPlay? There is the new Jplay V4 which integrates with iTunes just the way the Amarra does - you get the excellent Apple user interface and Jplay sound engine. Works on PCs only though.Next week I'm picking up my new hi-end server with the new iTunes/Jpl... |
