| Headphone Eq the hard way and the easy way. Buy a Benchmark DAC3 for synergy and be done with it! Many, many of Chord are fans but I'm not a 'filter' guy. Just give me a straight path. | |

| Meze EMPYREAN + Benchmark DAC3B + Benchmark HPA4 I have the Benchmark DAC3 HGC / HPA4 combo. It drives my Audeze LCD-4s. Picked up an Audio Sensibility Silver Statement XLR cable for them. I'm done. No use spending 50 - 100% more for some small difference. I'm 60 and my ears are shot, proba... | |
| DAC Measurements vs Actual Experience HPA4 / DAC3 HGC / Audeze LCD-4 owner.I'm done. Well, almost, my Audio Sensibility signature XLR (which Benchmark recommends, XLR connection not the specific cable) arrives next week.My Sennheiser 800Ss were too sterile and lacked bass. Swapped ... | |
| Best Headphone system under $1000??? Don’t know why but I went all in with a headphone setup just recently. I’m a redbook CD guy using Sonos and that’s not going to change - too darned convenient for me.Sonos > Benchmark DAC3 B (DAC, only - no volume / amp / headphone jack / ..) &... | |
| Best way to hook my new iMac to my PS audio PWDAC2 That post kinda sounded like an apple advertisement. So many apples so many it's. Eek. | |
| Best DAC for Sonos I started with stock ZP90 into a Benchmark. Fell in love with the simplicity.Upgraded Cullen modded upsampled Sonos to Benchmark. A nice bump in detail, but not sure if upsampling is their best option. Would like to have been able to compare this ... | |
| Recommended components on Stereophile Magazine. The last few reviews I have read were of the same basic tone. They liked it. They really, really liked it.That made me turn away and not renew my subscription. That, and the fact they are, or close to bankrupcy. | |
| eac vs windows...artwork help etc... In Mp3Tag, click the first song of an album, Ctrl key and click last song of an album. Click on the icon of the world. It finds the cover art (I must say, though, the last update is causing a bit of fits on this). Exit out of that 'find' box (don'... | |
| Which computer DVDrom is the best for ripping? Plextor drives used to be The King, but several years ago they started being made by some other manufacturer. A current computer magazine I picked up while in the airport last week wrote up the Plextor PX-850SA. They liked it but said it was a bet... | |
| Aerial Model 9 vs B&W Nautilus 802 Has the 10T turned into a bit of an urban legend? I read a post where Aerial themselves commented that the Model 9 is their best seller and they are very pleased with their performance and have no plans to make any changes to them. If the 10T was ... | |
| Which Power Cords: I Need Some Informed Guidance I've been on the powerchord train for awhile and just got off. Two Shunyata Taipans for my SimAudio monoblocks. Audience powerchord for my DAC and Audioquest for Sonos. I'm happy with all the choices so far. I notice a much much lower noise floor.... | |
| Cullen Modded Sonos vs Monarchy DIP Let us know when you are up and running with a Sonos mod. Please give any details you can. I'm interested in hearing all about it. | |
| WD TV - has anyone tried one yet? I've not backed up a Blu-ray disc. They don't get written in ISO like a regular DVD, I think. It's an MTS? file??? It will play them. They are quite large, though. They talk about all this on the AVS forums. | |
| Audioquest IEC-3 Power cable coupler This is a smart idea! It arrived in the mail. I'm using it to supply power to my DAC and source by connecting it to an Audience Powerchord. |
