| Borderpatrol Dac SE Also, dont forget to ensure the settings on your computer and roon are optimized. The Border Patrol is an exceptional dac, I have one in my office system (audio research in my main system). Cycle it on and off a couple of times a day, also do the ... | |
| McIntosh MA6300 headphone output Difference between the 100 and the 150 is the 150 has the ability to decode DSD via usb. Yawn. I would be very surprised if the mha series utilizing the autoformers wouldnt drive your cans wonderfully. | |
| McIntosh MA6300 headphone output Second the MHA100. Will drive your Focal speakers wonderfully for your application and the headphone amp is exceptional! | |

| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Sorry about that @geoffkait , yes, the first two paragraphs were partially sarcastic and the final paragraph straight (my wife really can hear the difference and it is the epitome of double-blind testing, she will sit down and tell me what is diff... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I was fine with lamp cord, zip cord or simple, straightforward cables for years. Unfortunately, my wife is a huge fan of the overpriced, overhyped cables which are debated here ad nausea. I sure wish she didn't hear a difference between Transparen... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @gdhal Excellent points and exactly the kind of information we should be sharing with one another. Thank you.To expand on the topic somewhat, all reviews are merely observations and there is no substitute for listening. It is nice that some review... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @dlcockrum your 2 data points using the all positive reviews from 6 moons and the quasi negative review of the Schiit by Stereophole kindof proves the point. I’m not saying all of the reviews by 6 moons are invalid, they’re just all positive all t... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @dlcockrum Everyone is different but I have not read one review from 6 moons because they REQUIRE a manufacturer to purchase ad(s) prior to reviewing a product. | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @nitewulf Indeed might be the case re: expectation bias. The Silverback Reference was the top offering from Devore until recently, replaced by the X/Ten. Regarding the informal DAC shootout, the market has a way of sorting things out in due course... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @shadorne I give, I have no axe to grind nor do I believe it productive to debate how something sounds with someone when neither one of us has a clue how they sound because neither one has actually heard them! You have to admit though, you jumped ... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @nitewulf Did you hear the old "The Nines" or the just released at 2018 CES "Super Nines"? | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @shadorne I remain exceptionally impressed by those among us who know how something sounds without hearing the item in question. In the case of polypropylene drivers, I generally agree with you. I'm not a fan of those utilizing poly I have heard, ... | |

| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... Audiostream just did a quick comparison of 2 Totaldac Dacs with a Borderpatrol SE and a Denafrips Terminator. Apparently the panel preferred the Totaldacs 1-2, then the Borderpatrol 3rd and bringing up the rear the Denafrips Terminator. Don't shoo... |
