MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region"
Tomic, from what I’ve read as far as another DAC with fpga, getting compatible with MQA is not exactly easy, and have to make sure they don’t compromise the sound of other codecs, and requires back and forth with Mqa including code so they approve... 
MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region"
Personally I like the relaxed and analog type sound of DSD.   Some people think it sounds soft but on my system, it's sounds right and some PCM sounds like it has a bit of an edge.  
Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus!
Has anyone auditioned the speaker cables? This is of most interest to me.

This also reminds me of so many signal processor boxes that were touted as improving ones system.  How many of those are still being used today.   
Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs
I have a number of the original resonators from Frank, gold and silver.  I used to have a very small listening space and the wall was directly behind the listening position.  It was hard to believe but they really worked, especially behind me to h...

What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??
While the price point I am going to mention has nothing to do with the question the OP asked, perhaps it can shed some light on cable differences.As a new Audioquest dealer, I had the opportunity to audition their two top of the line speaker cable... 
Pass Labs
I think this would be a great opportunity to ask Audiogon to implement a feature on every sale asking buyer and seller to donate a small percentage to world hunger.Perhaps even an "I will if you will" check box so both parties feel compelled.Good ... 
Sub-woofer connection question
Some sub manufacturers like REL suggest speaker level for better sound. On my Velodyne dd10+ Pair I think I like speaker level better, but I should try the test again. However the amps are extra special (hybrid BHK300’s - dealer for amps and subs)... 
ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews?
Wow at these prices my soundsmith strain Guage is a bargain, since the stylus pops out for easy and cheap replacement (or to hear a different profile one) . Funny thing is that even after 2000 hours or so I sent the stylus back to be examined for ... 
Synergestic Research: SCAM
Any lawyers here? Has the OP libeled Synergistic? I have no relation to the company so it’s not like I have any stake in it, but it’s one thing to say someone didn’t hear a benefit from a product, and another to state that a company is out to defr... 
Synergestic Research: SCAM
One audio board declares itself an AB testing free zone.  While I like healthy skepticism and comments on products that don't perform well, Pehaps audiogon should be a troll free zone. while I have no problem with the OP posting he heard no benefi... 
A Different Solution for Cables
I'm currently using the Mogami gold IC's balanced since it's a long run to The BHK 300 mono amps discussed above (dealer alert). Discussing the balanced only - can anyone whoose heard these suggest csbles they liked better?   I know true 600 ohm b... 
Recording Studio sound Vs. Audiophile system
Steakster. Interesting analogy to color grading. Is that your full time gig?I have a Davinci Resolve color suite (including the big advanced panels -picture attached below) and as you know, what happens on the consumer end with TV’s set to Torch M... 
Small room electrostat/ planar speaker?
Ivan that is quite exciting about the new series of small Soundlabs. As is typical, there is absolutely no information on their website. I love soundlabs and have always wanted them but didn’t because of the size. Can you comment a bit on this new...
