| Yet another streamer options thread... To the OP... are you unhappy with the sound of the Ultra or just looking for something different? I too have been pretty impressed with the WiiM Ultra in my main system... even without an external DAC but I hope to try one soon. | |
| A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player? If you rarely listen to a CD I don't see any point in spending a thousand or even hundreds. I've been using a second-hand Sony CDP-CE500 with remote (that I got locally for less than a hundred) for several years and it sounds quite good in my syst... | |
| Merason DACs @oddiofyl did you hear the Frerot with the factory wal wart power supply or the matching POW 1 LPSU ? From the research I've done I'm seriously considering for my first external DAC the Merason Frerot or Reuss, or possibly one of the entry leve... | |
| A Review of the Denafrips Pontus Gen 15 DAC This has been a very interesting thread as I continue research for my first external DAC. The Denafrips Pontus 15th sounds like it would suit my musical tastes but unfortunately my pre-amp has only RCA inputs and outputs. Would this mean I would ... | |

| Your opinions on the Polk R700 speakers You probably already know this, but Gary Dayton has taken over at Coherent Source Service and offers parts/repairs for Thiel speakers in Lexington, KY. If you like your 2.4 speakers it could be good option. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have a copy of Billy Cobham's Glass Menagerie "Observations and Reflections" that I purchased maybe 40 years ago. The first and one of my favorite jazz albums. I take it out and play it every so often and it still sounds great. Unfortunately i... | |
| Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...? OP what did you eventually purchase ? I'm researching Audiovector and found some good info in this thread. | |
| Denon HEOS LINK or Wiim Music Streamers? Thank you soix and mahler123, the Gustard and Cambridge Audio have some nice features indeed. | |
| Denon HEOS LINK or Wiim Music Streamers? Thank you mahler123 and soix. I have the WiiM Ultra setup (easy peasy even for a non-tech person like me). With the Ultra's EQ set to Flat, my initial impressions are the WiiM Ultra and the HEOS LINK are surprisingly similar in sound quality in... | |
| Denon HEOS LINK or Wiim Music Streamers? Thank you blackbag20 and soix, I've been wondering if an external DAC should be purchased soon. I know the DAC is the digital/analog converter but that's where my knowledge ends. | |
