| New to Digital If you have really old speakers you should probably start with replacing them. Some people puts most of their stereo budget in speakers and if you follow this you could look for speakers from $400 up to around $1000.If you want to upgrade you digi... | |
| DAC recommendation The Chord Qutest is about that price but just released. Has gotten good reviews. Maybe you can get an introduction price? | |
| New dac If you're using usb I second the suggestion to try a reclocker. It will probably improve the bass and it is cheaper than buying a new dac. | |
| Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room @audiotroy have you tried the Kii Three? It has some built-in DSP, probably not as good as a separate system but if you like to use/sell that kind of solution it might interest you.https://www.stereophile.com/content/kii-audio-three-loudspeaker | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range @ozzy They didn't play rock when I heard the Kanta 2 but from what I have read they have really good bass but not very loud or extremely deep. They only have 6.5" woofers and can probably struggle with rock in a large room.Was it the quality or th... | |
| Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room I've read some Good tings about the Kii Three, and they seem to fit small rooms too. The bass is almost dipolar and they are very small. Some even use them as recording monitors which means they should also work well on short distances. They are a... | |
| How can I tell if I need a better clock for my DAC? Seems like even a dCs dac gets better with a better clock. Better clocks and cleaner power can probably help almost any dac.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/dcs-puccini-clock | |
| Who has has a totaldac DAC? I've heard one very briefly at a show. Too quick to say anything more than that the room sounded very good. I recall it as a fluent sound. They were demoing the amps and didn't say which Totaldac they were using, they had a whole rack. They used S... | |

| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... Has anyone compared the Denafrips with Soekris dacs or Lessloss?http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews2/lessloss5/ | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range Forgot to say that all Focals I've heard have sounded great! You should go and listen to them. The Vivid Giya was also impressive when I heard them at a show, they also look great, probably a high waf. | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range You didn mention which amp you plan om using. This is very important when choosing a speaker.DeVore Fidelity O/96 are often mentioned in this Price range but I think it works best with tubes. | |
| MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote! Yes. I think the key thing is trying to get better sound than 16/44 with the same or lower bitrate, and they might have done that. | |
| DAC Suggestions Please I just stumbled upon some links to Soekris. They have some very interesting dacs. The 1421 is priced around 1060 EUR. Make sure you check that VAT is included in the price listings.http://www.soekris.eu/shop/index.php |
