| Linn or T+A @kennyc +1 Yes. I was surprised as well. I never thought of Linn - digital… but they seemed to have gone all in and done a very good job of it. | |
| 600 watt speakers I found Erik’s comment funny. I think in the context of other comments… obviously funny. OP, Solid state amp power and tubed amp power are different on speakers. Solid state amps are big on slam… a solid, instantaneous wall of bass… and the m... | |
| I'm at a digital loss or getting over UI mountain I would like to propose that streaming has fundamentally changed music for the audiophile. It has been a complete paradigm shift. Ownership points you to a very limited library, and being confined to that library. My ownership is 4,000 albums. Som... | |
| 600 watt speakers @erik_squires 😊 …. Funny man. | |
| *DAC OP, You are correct, both of those boxes are combined. My bad. You definitely want just the DAC function. I did some research on sound quality.. and didn’t pay attention to the functions close enough. This price range is not my specialty. However... | |
| Did I damage my new amp Excellent. Glad to hear it. I know the feeling of fear in thinking you may have really screwed something up. During my most recent upgrade I got a new preamp, an Audio Research Reference 6SE… I connected it to my system… with my relatively new... | |
| 600 watt speakers Power rating is of no value in comparing speakers. First it is pretty arbitrary and well, of no value. The sound quality of speakers is what matters. I would glance at the efficiency just to make sure it is not on the extremes… say < 86 or >... | |
| Why do people like reel to reel players? OP, I have the same question. I asked what is the source of music on that thread mentioned by @mgattmuch (?)… and really didn’t feel like I got a satisfying response. I think… there are few. I can see if you are recording live music. But for the ... | |
| Variable stream transmission quality I was trying to say you have a very good DAC… @lowrider57 +1 | |
| Variable stream transmission quality What is your streamer? You have a very DAC… and I assume associated system. I have been streaming with a high end system for four years… and 15 years before that. And I find the sound absolutely consistent. My streamer cashes the data.. so it ... | |
| DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE @mathiasmingus Thank you for your kind words. BTW, Bard is Googles AI. I have been really surprised how good it is at these kind of esoteric questions. @jastralfu Each system is different, and how it will sound within that context. In your... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @platypus22 Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your comments… However, without context it is hard to gain any insight. What are your components and venue. There is a place under your user ID to put photos and identify your components. A bi... | |
| DAC Recommendations In 4k Range Used I would save up for the T+A DAC 200. Fortunately it is a DAC and preamp. Whilw]e technically you may not need one…. You need one. The T&A is a good one. | |
| Did I damage my new amp Sorry to hear of your misfortune. You are not the only one to have done something like this. I think it most likely the speakers might have been damaged, not the amp. Your right it would have likely shut down. Typically the tweeters might have... | |
| DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE I would recommend the Yggdrasil. It has a very well balanced sound quality for its price. For fun I asked Bard. This sounds like a pretty good comparison to me. Comparing and Contrasting the Sound of Border Patrol, Denefrips Pontus II, and... |
