| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning I just got my PS Audio P12 regenerator setup and it has made a dramatic difference, especially to my analog setup. Whereas before the P12, I had a slight amount of audible noise when playing records (easily confirmed by just switching the input) t... | |
| Importing SACD Players from Japan Hi Everyone, thought I'd give some more information on what I bought.I ended up with a Denon DCD-1650AE player. Yes it is 100V only, but I have a step-down transformer that's very small up to 50W (player reports 24W). I ended up buying it for abou... | |
| CDP or DAC? Thank you for all that contributed to this thread. I have decided to buy a nice DAC and dedicated transport. I will be looking at Dac’s in the $5k - $8k range. So many choices!Good luck! Personally I’d look at either the PS Audio DS or one of Dena... | |
| Brilliant Video proving MQA is not what claim If you think about the problem MQA is trying to solve, it becomes clear why it doesn't make sense. High resolution lossless media is essentially a solved problem with FLAC. | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning I have been curious about getting a power conditioner, but am leaning towards PS Audio's approach and getting one of their re-generators. It would seem to me that it would result in cleaner power. Any thoughts? My dealer is really excited about th... | |
| PS audio new 25K dac and the psychological effect of owning a company's best. The proof will be in its delivery. If the price is indeed $25k, it will have an uphill battle to prove itself in a field of great, less expensive options from the likes of the DAVE + M Scaler, dCS Bartok, or Denafrips Terminator to name a few. | |
| PS Audio Stellar Phono @j-wall congrats! I've not seen the Chinook before, but it looks like a great option if you're feeling tubes. Certainly more so than my old Tube Box S2!I'd be curious if you do an A/B with the Stellar. I was on the fence about ordering it, but sin... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Phono I've had the Stellar for about a week now and have been doing a lot of listening. My DAC has never felt so lonely as I've been mostly playing records to really get a handle on the Stellar!Initial impression is good. The sound is very different com... | |
| PS audio new 25K dac and the psychological effect of owning a company's best. @jasonbourne52 I'm not sure I'd compare a DAC to a Rolex. Whether you buy a stainless steel for $10k or a solid gold with diamonds for $50k the movement is the same. You're paying for jewelry, not utility.I'd argue that most $25k DACs and expensiv... | |
| CDP or DAC? Not OP, but I'm also in the market for a CD transport and this thread has been very helpful. Currently leaning towards the PS Audio solution since it plays SACDs as well and can work with my Denafrips over I2S.Another option I've been entertaining... | |

| PS Audio Stellar Phono I just ordered one of these to try out. I'm currently using a Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 that has been okay, but am looking forward to the comparison. |
