| Upgrade Help: CDP or DAC I would move as others have stated to a new DAC. If your system is on the bright side two DACS in your price range come to mind. For a great tube DAC in your price range a used Havana is very warm and musical sounding and can be fine tuned with di... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Fishing716, So you have tried different speakers, different amps, different sources and different cables and are still having the same problem. The only thing left is the pre amp. Install a different pre amp in the system and see what happens. Oth... | |
| Novice needs Mac Mini and DAC advice Devilboy, thank's for the positive input, I'm really looking forward to trying it in my system. I really like the magic tonal qualities of the Havana but it lacks some detail on involved music. I like the Evo but will get the stack with the outboa... | |
| Novice needs Mac Mini and DAC advice Bob,I forgot to mention, if you still live in the Seattle area you are welcome to listen to my mac mini going into my M2Tech Hiface USB/SPDIF converter and then into my Dac. I don't have the Metrum Octave yet but it should be here any day.Take Car... | |
| Novice needs Mac Mini and DAC advice So Moonshot, which Bob from Seattle radio are you? I grew up here listening to all the Rock stations and not too many of the Jocks are still around. Hope your doing well in whatever you're doing now, radio seems like a hard core business to me.Oh,... | |
| Top CD transports vs USB converter shootout Sidvee, I believe Elberoth2 is being a gentleman in not answering your query. I own the Evo myself and there is a descussion on the web in which a well respected man has rated a large number of the converters on the market. He has rated the Evo st... | |
| Jitter Of New Mac Mini Optical Line Out Improved? This is very interesting Ryder, what is amazing is that you only had one person respond to this thread in 2011 and now another in 2013! I have a mac mini and am using it with a M2tech evo with great results, but have not even tried it with the opt... | |
| MHDT Havana and Eastern Electric Minimax Hawk28, I just posted on your duplicate thread. I should add that I own the Havana and depending on the tube you can tighten up the bass a lot. The comparisons I read on the Octave and EE Dac thread said the Havana was much more organic and not as... | |
| MHDT Havana and Eastern Electric Minimax Hawk28, there is a thread or two from a few months ago that have some responses from guys who owned both the Havana and the EE Dac. I think the subject header was comparing the EE Dac to the Octive? Mr. Tennis, you posted do you remember? | |
| Now That You've Ripped Your Entire Collection... I put mine in plastic containers and put them in the garage. If I ever lost my drives for some reason I would want to be able to burn them again. And the future is the future, you never know if you might need to burn them again a better way or ont... | |
| The best of the DACs Mezmo, your "big picture" overvue of the source in my opinion is spot on. I enjoy vinyl, but have become lazy. I have spun CDs for years and have enjoyed the process. Now I run a Mac Mini and I can't imagine going back. With that said, Yes, it pis... | |
| Others opinions on the new MHDT Stockholm DAC? I am currently running my single ended Havana with the PCM56-K chip set and he WE396A. This is the best combination for the rest of my system. If I want to tighten up the presentation a bit some fun tubes to try are the vintage Russian 6H varietie... | |
| How do I use dedicated storage and iTunes? I am using a 1TB Oyen drive and it is not a SSD. It is dead quiet thou and has been working perfectly for several months now. | |
| How do I use dedicated storage and iTunes? I can't remember exactly how to do it but basically you plug in your external drive to your mac mini, and then in itunes you go to advanced settings and one of your choices for storing your music will be the hard drive. In other words your pointin... | |
| Took my Levinson amp in for repair It seems to me if you took it in with what sounds like a small issue and they are trying to deliver it not working at all they owe you a replacement amp or the replacement value. I would not go away without a fight. Greg |
