| Eleven digital cable audition. Need to do an update. While I previously tested the optical cables on a Transport to DAC basis, today I tried the three optical ables from my Blusound Node 2i and had some divergent results. The Monoprice was not as good as it was in it's previous... | |
| How good Muzishare brand tubes? Just got the Muzishare and so far so good. Sounds nice. I will do some tube rolling. First the smaller cheaper tube including the rectifier then later the outputs when i decide which brand. | |
| Desire to try tubes Just bought a Muzishare X7 from Amazon. So far so good. Impressive quality, finish, and sound for $1300. 30 day return. Also in this price range of 45-55 watt amps from China are the Willsenton R8 and in Canada, Musical Paradise markets several am... | |
| Which tubes are the best? Thanks Lou. I have worked hard to put together a nice solid state system but now That Old Tube Majic has me in it's spell. Years ago I tried all kinds of tube stuff. Musical Reference, Cary etc. Nice to be back. I never got the point of having tub... | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? You can get an Audiolab CDT 6000 transport on sale now for $500, Add to that a Schiit Modi Multibit for $350 and you would have a nice CD playing system that would be upgradable with better DACS later on. | |
| Eleven digital cable audition. I geddit. | |
| Moving up from a Node 2i I have wondered if a Raspberry Pi coupled with a reasonably priced Schiit Modi Multibit ($350) would outperform a Node 2i for about the same money. | |
| Moving up from a Node 2i I was disappointed with my Node 2i So I connected the optical out to my Schiit Gugnier DAC then through Audience Ohno cables to my amp. Sounds much much better. I used the optical out because the Coax input was occupied with the output from an Aud... | |
| Eleven digital cable audition. By the way, I got into this because I got a Blusound Node 2i and was not thrilled with the sound. I added a Unique products optical cable and ran it through my Schiit DAC and thin got a lot better. Now listenable. The Gugnier has one coax which is... | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- Someone else has probably already suggested this but why not get a tube preamp and a solid state amp? The small tubes in a preamp will not produce much heat and when combined with a non-class A amp should give you the best of all worlds. Some of t... | |
| Tube or SS I swore I wouldn't go back to tubes, but just ordered a Muzishare X7 from amazon for $1300. This one has a great review on Youtube from Zero Fidelity. Also well reviewed is the Willsonton amp and the Musical Paradise amps. All of these putting out... | |
| Desire to try tubes I just auditioned the $400. Reising model 100 amp that has gotten good reviews. Just not enough power even for 90 db speaker's. You need horns like a pair of Klipsch M600s. That said, I was so impressed with the sound and build quality, I ordered ... | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- To avoid the heat of a tube amp. I guess your only option is to get a small amp and efficient horn speakers. I just auditioned a small Boyuu Reising model 100 amp that sells on Amazon for $400. It was really well built, sounded excellent but just ... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... I cant claim golden ears or any definitive last word on DACS but I purchased an Ares and liked it. I also auditioned a MSL400 Also good but with a remote, a viewing screen and more filter option. I sold the Ares to a guy who went nuts for it and ... | |
| My Oppo is a bit too bright Schiit is coming out with a transport (I don't know when) You might try that with a Bitfrost or Gunier multibit. j |
