Solid state DAC under 12K retail preferably with ethernet
Do not forget the real-time optimized DACs like Focusrite Rednet series (Dante protocol) or Merging Hapi or Merging NADAC (Ravenna protocol).  
Aurender N100h vs. SOtM sms-200 Ultra
koestner - actually any Dante or Ravenna protocol using device will appear as virtual sound card for the player software. Dante runs on Win or Mac OS X, Ravenna runs on Linux as well. So you can use any computer practically.  
Aurender N100h vs. SOtM sms-200 Ultra
Actually there is a very good reason to try a pro so called Dante Interfaces, like Focusrite Rednet 3 or D16 or a Merging Hapi. Rednet is Dante, Hapi is Ravenna, both are using real-time optimized audio protocols, developed as very low latency liv... 
What does one purchase after owning horns?
The Yorkville (and Unity) is an old Danley design, the Synergy horn surpassed it every way. I know quite a few hifi enthusiasts using Danley for music and for movies as well at home, but I think none of them modified any of them. Could mean someth... 
What does one purchase after owning horns?
After using Klipsch Horn, Klipsch LaScala, then Avantgarde Trio for more than 15 years, (the Trio for some 9 years) I probably experienced to say that Tom Danley's Synergy horns are combining all of the dynamics, room filling sound and liveliness ... 
USB DACs with 24/192 via USB
Clio9,the music just flows better, more natural, more enjoyable with the HiFace. Everything is cleaner more musical. If you have a BNC connector on your DAC, get the HiFace with BNC, it is even better with a Naim DC1 BNC-BNC SPDIF cable.I tried th... 
USB DACs with 24/192 via USB
Been there done this. I was using an M-Audio Firewire Audiphile interface since 2005, then a Konnekt 8, 24D, used Mytek and Lynx pro mastering DACs with Firewire connections too. The M2Tech HiFace is right there, works very well on my Mac. It is a...

Mytek Digital Stereo 96 DAC, anyone ?

TVC + Altmann amp?
I am using an Altmann Attraction DAC and BYOB amp with an Avantgarde Trio. Four days ago I connected/bought a Promitheus Ref5 TVC with some options between the two with Acrolink Mexcel cables. After running this system for roughly 100 hours I can ... 
Is USB overrated as decent digital source?
Uncleff::-))Actually the transport is not mine but one of my freinds' transport. 
Is USB overrated as decent digital source?
Audioengr:you have to study the Konnekt brochure a bit more carefully. The 1 ns jitter is for the complete A/D, D/D and D/A loop. They developed their own firewire software driver for mac and pc, the mentioned Dice II and Jet chips developed for j... 
Avantgarde Trios, SETs, and Impedance Curves
Hi Theloveman,actually you are quite right regarding the active multiamp setup. I was thinking of it a lot, but I definitely would like to use the digital output of DEQX to drive 3 Altmann Attraction DACs plus 3 Altmann BYOB amps and the active su... 
Is USB overrated as decent digital source?
There is a very nice professional product from TCelectronics, named Konnekt 24D (or 8D with less connection and DSP). It is a professional A/D, D/A converter mainly for musicians with Firewire connection.They developed their own software driver fo... 
Avantgarde Trios, SETs, and Impedance Curves
Hi Theloveman,sorry for the slow answer.I am using only one REL sub and yes it can go up enough, the REL Studio III can not do this but the Stentor can. My room is only twentysomething square meter with some tricky furnitures. My listening level i...
