| Can someone explain the clock sync? @brbrock Well I can only go by what I was told by the dealer I bought my T15th from and at this time there are no plans for a Flagship DAC, maybe in a few years. So the Terminator15th IS the flagship. It certainly sounds like it to my ears. I und... | |
| Can someone explain the clock sync? @kairosman I missed your question about the Terminator 15th being a rebadged Terminator Plus. It seems to be the case from all that I can gather-it is the same other than the faceplate. It is also my understanding that the 15th engineer team did ... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @yyzsantabarbara The Legacy Wavelet II is a pre amp so adding a tube preamp would be redundant. My DAC doesn’t have a volume control. The only source into the Wavelet is the XLR's from the DAC. | |
| DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ?? @vthokie83 Yes, the terminator 15th has 190 hours on it and it is fantastic compared to the Venus II. Like the reviews say -more of everything that is good. It is a fantastic DAC, it's smoother than the Venus, yet far more detailed. Timbre is so... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @charliee No I no longer am getting any preamp. I had conversations with dealers that advised it is not necessary with only 1 connection. I would just be adding more into the chain, need more (expensive) interconnects and power cords. Instead I a... | |
| GoldenEar Titon Reference Speakers I had the T1r’s for a while. The T ref’s are easy to drive, that MAC will do it easily. The T refs have great bass, soundstage and image very well. With them being on sale right now for I think $4K each they would be a bargain. They are being disc... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 FWIW I upgraded from a AQ Diamond USB to the Audience frontRow Reserve USB and it is sensational, but highly expensive. I only needed .75M so that helped. I was going "all in" and end game. N200 as source. | |
| Can someone explain the clock sync? Thank you @kairosman @audphile1 @erik_squires for your responses. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @sim_audio_nerd I bought a new Denafrips Terminator 15th to replace my 3 year old Denafrips Venus II. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @sim_audio_nerd I have been thinking the same thing. Well, I don't upgrade very often but since I have made other system upgrades this amp lets them shine through. I just got a new DAC and the change is clearly evident. I love this amp! I've had... | |
| Can someone explain the clock sync? @jastralfu I know how to do it, I have it set up. What I wanted to know is what it does. How does it work? Thanks. @jond I just want to know what exactly it does. I am talking about the 2 BNC Cables connected to the clock output of the DAC ... | |
| Denafrips Terminator II 12th anniversary VS. Terminator PLUS 12th anniversary I recently got a new Terminator 15th. I have been "shopping" for my next DAC for over a year to replace my Venus II. I was being careful to get something I would feel was an upgrade and would be good enough to stop my desire for more, I cannot aff... | |
| Large speakers plus EQ, what have you done? I don’t know of this qualifies as to your question or if I am off base here, but...I have the Legacy Focus XD’s which produce (to my ears) the best bass I have ever heard. To control it I purchased the Matching Wavelet II outboard crossover/DSP/Pr... | |
| DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ?? @kairosman That is why I shipped my Venus II out yesterday, to it's new owner the resale values are in the tank. I sold it for a great price. | |
| Should I add a DDC? @kingbr It may sound fine but channels can be reversed and you have to keep trying different pin outs. |
