| New DAC for Sony SCD-777ES SACD player.? dcaudio Like many of these units, the SACD laser is not working as well. It uses a Sony KHM-230AAA laser still available still cheap, if your mechanically minded should be about 1hrs work to put in. Buying the whole mech/laser is far easier to pu... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report 5.30pm relaxing with a Gin and tonic listening to 1984 Nancy Wilson Godsend, Denon 38C38-7188 CD I believe it’s Pre-emphasized, and I think my dac has de-emphasis, because it’s not bright, otherwise it would be, just sublime to listen to, a stunni... | |
| RME ADI-2 direct to amp mofojo RME ADI-2 direct to ampNo problem at all if you can get enough volume, it will be the most transparent/dynamic way, your RME has 100ohm output impedance, and will be fine for any amp.Cheers George | |
| Class D I don’t know your DAC, but I hope it has very low output impedance. The NC500 without buffers needs a low impedance source or you will degrade its performance. Are you blind as well as deaf? You are free, of course, to argue, defend, your produc... | |
| Class D I smell another fuserSo what bothers George?People, shillers and manufactures saying Class-D already great and is better than the best linear amps, which it’s far from yet. So what is your agenda? That Class-D has trouble with low <2ohm impedan... | |
| Class D Entertainment in georgehifi relentlessly defending inferior technology. A typical response from a snake oil "fuser"https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1572264 | |
| Class D This is fake news. Just like *****, into protection mode for his own interests, the new Class-D must be coming soon. It may not double power into 2 ohms though, but that’s not important That more fake than anything!Most Class-D’s, independent tes... | |
| Schiit amps, freya preamp The Vidar has MANY issues with going into protection when speakers run below 4 ohms.Well maybe into 2ohms, but this independent tested Vidar is quite respectable with both channels driven, giving 230w continuous into 4ohm, and 310w peak into 4ohm.... | |
| Schiit CD Transport on the way soon. Is it mentioned whether there will be a remote? Have to, I don’t know of any even going back to the first CD that didn’t have one. Maybe basic one though, Schiit’s not known for pandering to "glitz queens" with wow factor looks, led’s and read ou... | |
| classe twenty five and classe fifteen I would say no, as the DR25 just had enough current for the 3.6's when I had them. The low impedance value explains the CS3.6's need for the iron-fisted Mark Levinson No.23.5 to provide control in the bass; the CS3.6 would appear to be current-hu... | |
| Schiit CD Transport on the way soon. Hope it sounds as good as the new Hegel Mohican CD transport, which in an a/b Darko prefers by a lot over the $3K Mytec Brooklyn Bridge streamer.https://youtu.be/vgmzh77KMCUCheers George | |
| Power amp for Vandersteen Treo? rach_fan These Vandersteen Treos don’t need an amp with big "current grunt" as they are a very easy benign load, but they are not very sensitive so they need quite a few watts https://www.stereophile.com/images/666Treofig01.jpg Class-D could be g... | |

| Holo Audio May DAC break-in is going to take a while I think break in is a valid exercise for mechanical things, like phono cartridge suspension, speakers roll-surrounds, maybe even laser suspension etc etc. But with electronic devices dac, pre, amps etc I believe ... | |
| High end Class D amps? Your source better have low output impedance as well. The NC500 modules are fairly low impedance on the input. Any one don’t be scared off doing this if your source is up to the task, 2k input impedance for the NC500 is not so bad, many retail cla... |
