| Warm/Forgiving AES/EBU digital cable less then $1000 I knew that question would come up...I am using a Matrix Audio X SPIDIF 2. It is a glorious little device that converts USB signal to all the other digital outputs, including I2S. I prefer the AES/EBU in my setup. | |
| Warm/Forgiving AES/EBU digital cable less then $1000 The cold unforgiving source is my source, which is an older laptop. It will be replaced at the end of this year. I was hoping to find something to get me by until then. Not crazy expensive. It will be the AES/EBU for a while after the server/trans... | |
| Isotek Sigmas or PS Audio P15 Thanks Milpai...I looked into the AC-3500 and it looks very similar to the Isotek Aquarius and Sigmas. But also lacking some of the key features in those that have me looking that way. Also it looks like this is their first go at a Mains condition... | |
| Isotek Sigmas or PS Audio P15 That sounds like a great idea, but I am ready to push it to the next step. Been saving for this "foundation" for a while. If I get the Titan or the Sigmas, I would get the Syncro PC to go with it in the future. My PASS has a very slight hum...Very... | |
| Isotek Sigmas or PS Audio P15 I am also thinking about buying the Isotek Titan because I am really wanting this for my PASS 30.8. I have an AQ Niagara 1000 that is pretty good on the regular plugs, 000 with a line noise analyzer, but the High Current on it sucks. Reads in the ... | |
| Mapleshade or Butcher Block Acoustics Awesome feed back guys...Thank You!!I like that Mapleshade is one solid piece, but I hate their footers. Much perfer the footers of the Butcher Block Acoustics.Going to see if the one will fit on the other.Thanks Guys!! | |
| What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8? Thanks for the reply Doni...I started out on high gain, but it had a lot of "hiss" in the background. Coming from a Devialet which has absolutely NONE, I kinda freaked out a little. I put it on low gain, but had to turn it up to about 90 for regul... | |
| What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8? Hey Doni...Just wondering if you are still following this thread...I got my Directstream DSD and the Pass XA30.8. Just put in the 30.8 in last night.Since you have almost the exact same setup, and are using XLR's between DAC and AMP, I was just wo... | |
| What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8? Snopro...Thank you for the offer. I am wanting to buy the XA 30.8 new. I also have a PS Audio DSD sr. on the way.With the responses I am getting from you and Doni and others, it sounds like I will be able to get the Vandy TREO's and have no proble... | |
| What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8? Doni...That is also great to hear. Both of the PS Audio DAC's were built to run without a preamp. In reading on the PS Audio forums, 98% of the people LOVE Snowmass. It has it's quirks, as everything does, but for the most part they love it. It wi... | |
| What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8? doni...This is just too coincidental...I am waiting for my brand new PS Audio DSD sr. I will be going direct from it to the XA 30.8 via XLR. (HFC CT-2's)You are running almost the exact same setup that I will have! Very Cool!Did you see much of a ... | |
| What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8? I am very happy to see you write that! As I said, the TREO's check all the boxes for my room. And to KNOW that they can "sing" with the XA 30.8 makes me very happy. I don't listen very loud either. My room is just to small for it. Thank you for le... | |
| What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8? Thanks for the suggestions!!!The Tektons and Spatials have REALLY peaked my interest.The Tektons look VERY similar to speakers I am using now. They are custom built...By Me! I worked at a speaker shop for over a decade, so I know the ins and out o... | |
| Vandersteen TREO CT's with Pass Labs XA60.8 Good to know ctsooner. The 30.8 is stereo, so I’m sure that is the one you were listening to. 2psyop, I agree wholeheartedly. A truly high quality American product. Can’t find a bad thing said about them as far as sound is concerned. Weight, heat,... | |
| Vandersteen TREO CT's with Pass Labs XA60.8 ctsooner....When you say "that Pass", to which are you referring?The 30.8 or the 60.8? |
