| Is DEQX a game changer? By the way, I think time and frequency correction is very cool. However, there’s a few points I want to make.Many speakers are just not very neutral in the frequency domain and an EQ is the only way to fix it. From B&W to Martin Logan, some hi... | |
| Peachtree Grand Integrated X1 vs Parasound Halo Integrated I’m a big fan of all the Halo amplifiers. Neutral, sometimes warmish. Never glaring or unmusical or weak. I traded mine in for ICEPower units, but not the bridged models. :) So it’s kind of funny these are the two options you are considering. Stil... | |
| Upgrading Power Service In New Home Build An oscilloscope with the right probes and preferably a frequency analyzer would be ideal. Sadly these are not really easy to come by. A DIY'er might build his own PC interface using the sound card to oscilloscipe software, but doing so for power s... | |
| Is Audio nirvana real? Nirvana is very real. I'm selling entry level Nirvana for $5,250. Based on satisfaction derived from our flagship "Total Nirvana", for $55,000, you get most of the happiness and joy most people need for 1/10th the cost. There's also "Glimps of Ni... | |
| Upgrading Power Service In New Home Build It's got to be cleaner than living in a building with elevators. | |
| Schitt Audio Still in business??? Glad you like it! While I usually love the sound of the output stage on Ayre’s (guessing that’s it since I hear the same qualities regardless of gear type) the Schiits have an amazing immunity to sources. No matter how bad the input is the Schiits... | |

| Recos for entry level Bookshelf speaker $400-750 for 21yo nieces first system? Feel like building them? I have great plans for a pair that will get her into all sorts of music. | |
| I asking for suggestions in choosing a pre-amp [that won't "break the bank". I don’t see a DAC int hat list. I’m going to assume you’re just going to run the Oppo straight? The Parasound P7 has phono, and 1 set of balanced inputs, along with 7.1 balanced and unbalanced outputs, along with some tone controls. You might also... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? @blang11 Another thing that is not clear is how MQA encoding plays with regular studio work. The way it should to work is that the MQA encoding process should take your A/D converers into account and compensate for it’s shortcomings. Well, what do... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? @blang11 We have a couple of other threads re:MQA going on, but yes, it’s true, but ONLY if you are EQ’ing in the digital domain. Using something like a miniDSP or DiracLive which does AD -> EQ -> DA is not affected! Except that if you do th... | |
| Is Audio nirvana real? For some it's a journey. I ran into a bunch of car collectors at lunch. They were quite happy to have owned and sold lots of cool cars. Personally, I want something fabulous that I'm happy with and can focus on music and the living room. While ... | |

| Looking for upgrade from Apple TV, would like to keep using iTunes and wifi By the way, I've never heard of a DAC that couldn't do 44.1. I think you need to find your original docs. :) Best,Erik |
