| Preamp for R2R DACs Thanks for the reply. That makes sense - it’s only that I am afraid of potentially introducing a weak link - preamp in this case - as I am sure it’s opening a can of worms as to which preamp is better etc. | |
| Should I sell my DAC I have a benchmark DAC3 connected to Node 2i in my main listening room. I would not drive node2i on it's own as the DAC is below standard and does not sound good at all. For my office set up - I may just end up keeping the OPPO 105 player and use ... | |
| Should I sell my DAC To all - the individual backed out last minute after agreeing to purchase my unit even though I had priced to sell for $620. | |
| Should I sell my DAC @tweak1 can you share the link for your mod. Is it plug and play or does it need soldering? | |
| Should I sell my DAC Also am thinking of considering R2R DACs. With digital services like Tidal, Qobuz and Amazon HD (I have all three) as means of music for me - I feel the listening fatigue kicks in sooner than I’d like to. Office setup: dedicated laptop for music s... | |
| Should I sell my DAC @tweak1 I found aftermarket LPM (Linear Power Module) and IEC upgrade combining Furutech Rhodium IEC and heavy gauge pure silver wire to board (~ $300) on Ebay. Great info - can you share some details on how the sound improved and if you could pro... | |
| Should I sell my DAC Thanks agree. While I am in this process I will go through auditioning Mytek Brooklyn, Chord dac series and maybe Schitt DACs | |
| Should I sell my DAC @nekoaudio great suggestion. It’s just that I have a buyer ready to take the unit off my hands. Recently I did purchase node 2i and benchmark dac3 for my main listening room and couldn’t be happier. The OPPO takes up a lot of room in my office and... | |
| Help in deciding USB cable @ghosthouse thank you and I agree. I should have been more accurate. Black Cat Silverstar USB us really hard to come by - been looking but no luck. So for me it really comes down to the 2, Shunyata Venom and Supra USB. Confused between the two. | |
| Help in deciding USB cable Thanks for the response. Personally I believe that USB cables like other digital cables make a big difference in sound. I was really looking for some advice/suggestions on the cables I had listed in my post. Anyone? | |
| Low Cost DACs @wcc10 Had to login and respond to your post. It's so funny I had the same dilemma as you couple months ago. I have a home theater room, a dedicated listening room where I have the Benchmark 3 DAC and my office where I have OPPO 105 (that I moved ... | |
| Mogami 50 ft XLR cable for subwoofer didn't answer my question between the 2 links I sent. The difference and which one? | |
| Dead Bluesound Node 2 I have to respond to this. OP - sorry for your loss. Yes I think node2 is an excellent entry level player. I myself bought one 4 months ago. But I think it’s not the best and you can do better. Their interface with music services like Amazon etc l... | |
| Hooking up my JL sub @imhififan Benchmark DAC 1 has both unbalanced and balanced outputs, the unbalanced rca output connect to Marantz AV7005, balanced xlr output connect to JL F112 sub xlr input directly or via a switcher, so no 'y' cable/adapter needed.That will not... | |
| Hooking up my JL sub @ozzy Probably the easiest and best way would be to use either an electronic crossover, or just simply use a y adapter. One end goes to the main amp then speakers, the other goes to sub. You can adjust the sub for the proper low level point,What’s... |
