| Adcom monster amps One thing to beware of with the Adcom stuff is,the earlier amps GFA 555,565,585 are made in NJ.The newer ones 5800,5802 the newer 555 II are made in Japan.The quality as well as reliability went down hill.This is well documented and is clearly aud... | |
| MSB Link Dac 3- have modded or go Benchmark ?or? I do hope to purchase a revelation imbilical cord.I will then terminate the one end into my BAT P.S.Two other added pluses of going to a battery power supply is no need of an expensive ac power cord or the need to condition the ac for the dac. | |
| MSB Link Dac 3- have modded or go Benchmark ?or? I have studied the power supply circuit extensively and come up with my own plan.The mods for the Dac are posted on audioasylum.com.Go into the DIY/Tweeks section.Type MSB LINK DAC in the search bar.Lots of info,op amp options,capicators to upgrad... | |
| Preamp match for Mccormack DNA-125 Rogue 66 Mag with RCA clear top 12au7's.Get ready to grin from ear to ear when you hear this combo.I own a Rogue 66 mag and have tried many amps,both ss and tube.Also I have tried all the makes of tubes worth mention.The RCA clear tops are my favo... | |
| MSB Link Dac 3- have modded or go Benchmark ?or? Thanks Bbaxley2 for your response.I have decided to do my own mod on the Link Dac and I am building a DC(battery)power supply.This thing is going to be killer.I will keep everyone posted. | |
| Best RCA terminated digital interconnect? Thanks Listener57,That is good to keep in mind for the next time I need a digital Ic for the home theater.(I scrimp a little when it comes to movies as compared to the two channel big rig)I could also give the AAD ic a listen in the two channel an... | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used I posted another thread about modding the MSB Link DAC.I was hoping to come across someone that has or had a MSB that has been modded.As of yet I have not heard from anyone that owns one other than with the factory upgrades.As Zaikesman has posted... | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used Yes I have come to some conclusions about the Msb unit (1)I believe the Link Dac is the week link in the digital front end.(2)I feel that the slightly hard sounding treble is the blame of the Link Dac.(3)most all things manufactured are built to m... | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used Zaikesman, I read your review.I can tell you put a lot of thought and time into your comparison.And I do agree with you about a couple of points.For certain the cables and all the equipment in the digital front end is part of the sonic nature of t... | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used I want to thank you all for your time and your opinions.THANKS | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used Zaikesman, One could also use the nebulous one fits all:Try it and see what you think.OR That is system dependent and is a matter of opinion. Get real,I am asking everyone for their opinions.And as in most things,some have a broader knowledge than... | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used Zaikesman, I am sorry you don't like the circus.I am using a Theta Data Basic II. I am also using a MSB link DAC III with p 1000 power supply and upsampling option.I run a Monarchy Audio Dip in between the two.The Theta is feed into the DIP via th... | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used How do you think a Cal Audio Alpha would compare to the ones listed thus far? | |
| MSB Link Dac 3- have modded or go Benchmark ?or? Ooohhppss,Sorry about the mistatement in my earlier post.The Monarchy Audio is a D.I.P. not a jitter bug. | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used At this point my rig is fairly balanced.But the one thing I think could be inproved upon is: IMO the treble is just a little bit hard on the upper freq.thus contributing to listener fatigue.My rig boogies with some pre amps better than others.Boog... |
