| Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!! @almarg great summary of the usefulness of measurements!I decided a Long time Ago that I would choose stereo items based on how they sound, or based on other people's descriptions of the sound, not in measurements. Unfortunately I haven't been abl... | |
| Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!! @jmcgrogan2 I read the digital version of Stereophile on Zinio. Many magazines has a digital version that cost much less than the print version. I think it's in all our benefit if theese kind of magazines survives and can afford to pay reviewers t... | |
| Good Speaker within a budget of USD10,000 Focal Kanta 2 should be in that price range. They sound really good.Have you thought about taking a trip somewhere to listen to a few speakers? Like Bangkok or Singapore, they might have more stores. | |

| MQA through Toslink A reclocker that also converts to coax or usb might improve the sound anyway in that setup. Maybe even more than mqa will. | |
| Wilson Speakers & Reviewers Reviewers might need a speaker that works with many amps?I think there are a couple of reviewers that use DeVore, it's not only Wilsons. | |
| Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ?? Someone mentioned Focal Kanta 2 and those were among the most impressive speakers I heard at a show in Stockholm. The Wilson Sabrina also sounded good although only played at a low volume and might be found 2nd hand within your price range.If you ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I am also in the side that thinks that all common architectures (R2R, DS, FPGA) can work when implemented with care.Speaking of FPGA, have you read or listened to PS Audio and how they implemented the DirectStream Dac?I think the technical descrip... | |
| New or Old CD Player? I think there are many more combinations to choose from if you go with separates. It will probably be cheaper to just upgrade the dac later than to replace a whole player. There is still innovation around dacs and reclockers. And many dace has usb... | |
| THE GRYPHON HAS LANDED at THE SHOW NEWPORT | THE SHOW JUNE 1-3 2018 I think it's great to see brands come back or reappear in a region or in the market at large. It means there are more brands to choose from and at at least some companies are keeping high-end audio alive. I remember the name Gryphon but I'm not su... | |
| I have been using the Cambridge 851 CD player for a few years and want more. A good dac, especially if you add a reclocker, would probably improve the sound a lot. Check other threads and forums for dac ideas. I would probably look into Chord Qutest, Denafrips, Soekris or a 2nd hand Shiit Yggdrasil. | |
| Digital Audio for Dummies For the ripping part Windows has a program called Windows Media Player built in that can rip audio cd's to mp3 (or wav). If you want something better and still easy to use you could check out dbPoweramp. It costs money but seems to be very easy an... | |

| Ideas for my next DAC....? If you're thinking about dCs then the TotalDac may be an option?I've only heard it at a show but it sounded Good there and it is said to have a very fluent sound. | |
| Lampizator evolution @rockyboy you can also add an external clock, like the ISO Regen to a dac. I think a good clock can improve the sound a lot.Have you checked other dacs like the Soekris or Denafrips? |
