| Chord Hugo ? No one is comparing the Hugo to a Lampi here but lets make a couple of things very clear: it is at an entirely different level from the Qute line, this is a reference caliber dac. I listened to both versions of the Qute and its a really good dac, ... | |
| Chord Hugo ? I know what you mean, the head-fi community is quite active. One problem here that will probably prohibit the Chord Hugo from penetrating the market too much is that it is simply not big enough nor "audiophile" enough. It doesn't benefit from an e... | |
| Chord Hugo ? Some of what you have read here on Audiogon may have been from me. I am listening to the Chord Hugo on my main rig as I type this. It is really an amazing dac and while I have listened to the headphone outputs, Im not really a headphone listener s... | |
| T.H.E. Show in Los Angeles Sutphen, the wavetouch were powered by a mosfet amp, if I recall correctly. | |
| T.H.E. Show in Los Angeles First of all, buy Pure Music for your Mac. It uses iTunes as a filing medium only and can handle all of your format needs. DSD is not that big of a deal to implement. It sounds great, 24/96 sounds great, they all are capable of tremendous results.... | |
| T.H.E. Show in Los Angeles No I didn't although, while I appreciate the engineering and the last drop of the performance that can be wrung out of vinyl, Its just not worth the fuss to me so I simply keep moving. Those Rube Goldberg style turntables are cool as heck though. ... | |
| T.H.E. Show in Los Angeles It appears that audiogon posted this after the show closed. Unfortunate but oh well. What rooms did you guys enjoy? | |
| Want seperates and have an integrated Mcintosh Sounds like you have the cash to swing one or the other: the amp or the pre, is that correct? If so, I would recommend you buy the amp, search for a preowned c2300 and sell your integrated to fund that purchase. Good luck. | |
| DAC for iPod/iPhone Buy a Chord HUGO. FULL STOP!Its not inexpensive but it is terrific. Reference level dac, smaller than an 8 track tape (or a paper back book for you youngsters) very light weight, 14 hour battery life, will drive 3 sets of head phones simultaneousl... | |
| Wilson Benesch Square 5 and Square 3 speakers Garebear,I didn't respond to your original inquiry because I have not heard the square line from Wilson Benesch HOWEVER, I have owned quite a number of speakers:Wilson Benesch Arcs, AZ Adagios, SF Amati Homage, Wilson Audio Duettes (twice), Harbet... | |
| Preamp for mc275le. Need advice, please I'll again make my point. Dacs today, note I am saying today, sound very nice on the whole and extremely nice in specific circumstances. The C50 and the C2500 BOTH come with a decent dac, built in, for basically no extra charge. Now then, lets say... | |
| Preamp for mc275le. Need advice, please I'll come at this from a little different angle. While no one will argue that digital technology and advancement has come a long way, I believe much of the advancement today is certainly marginal for the perceived improvement. In other words, its ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Like many who glance at this never ending dialogue, I enjoy the commentary. I am concerned though that the original poster Orpheus10 has not posted in over two months, I hope his health is ok. | |
| McIntosh MA 7900 impressions/experience? The 7900 is virtually identical to my MAC 6700 (which is itself a minor evolution from the MA 6600) with the 7900 giving up the built in tuner in exchange for the 5 band eq. Typically excellent McIntosh build quality, the built in dac is actually ... | |
| Pre-recorded Reel-to Reel tapes Most older prerecorded reel to reel tapes were actually dubbed high speed, which we all know created a poor quality copy. Factor also that they were dubbed to a slow playback speed, its not hard to understand why they never really had a fan base. ... |
