| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) Forgot to say that Métronome basically split into two brands. They have Kalista also and the Kalista Dreamplay Stream is a good streamer but much more expensive. https://kalista-audio.com/en/dreamplay-stream-en/ | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) I've heard the Bacch and it was impressive (I did not know it could work as a streamer, they showed it as a dac) but especially with their own 3D processing. You need to decide if that is something you want. As you already have a good dac it seems... | |

| Tidal vs Qubuz - Steely Dan "Jack of Speed" I have Tidal but have not tried Qobuz yet. Another thing I thought was I interesting was when I got a cd player after a few year without one. The same track on cd sounded clearly better than on Tidal. I tried with multiple tracks and have still no... | |
| Power regeneration - good idea? PS audio? From what I heard the external power filters and re-generators are usually better than what is inside amps. The internal ones are normally filters rather than re-generators. The big question in my mind is if the improvement is worth the cost and y... | |
| the cart or the horse? Another option if you keep the speakers is the Schiit Ragnarok amp with their dac-card. About $1800 and has very good sound and adjustable gain which should make them match your speakers. https://www.stereophile.com/content/schiit-audio-rag... | |
| High End Intergraded comparisons, Marantz, McIntosh, Levinson, Luxman.... I have heard a Bryston but not compared it to other amps. I did like it and think you should listen to it. Spec was also good but I only heard it for a very short time. Aavik is not mentioned yet, I think. The U-150 might be a good choice and ca... | |
| Anyone Seen a Feb 2022 Stereophile Issue?? @carlsbad try the Zinio subscription if you can get it and install the app on a tablet. Makes it easy to read and feels a bit more like the magazine than reading on the web . | |
| Wadax Reference Dac and Reference Server--arrived in my room. Congrats! All reviews I've seen of the Wadax Ref says it is something special. I will never be able to afford it but I am glad someone improves the sound from digital . Hope it will trickle down some day. Maybe they can license their tech to oth... | |
| All In One Recommendations Schiit Ragnarok can be had in a maxed out config which should include dac and phono-stage for around $1800. It does not include a streamer but you could get a Raspberry Pi or iFi Zen Streamer and hide behind the amp. | |
| Suggestions for an integrated upgrade please For everyone complaining about the source, he has a Singxer Su6 that seems to have its own clock. The digital signal should therefore be reclocked already when it gets to the dac. I don't think another streamer will improve the sound much. | |
| Need new headphone setup. Good luck with your HD600 and Cobalt! I was gonna say that the Cobalt is great. I use a Black myself but has listened to the Cobalt in a store and it is better. If you ever want better headphones I suggest trying Focal. I think the Elex from Dro... | |
| Audiogon resolutions for 2022 - #1 less exaggeration when it comes to system changes @rudyb ++ Everyone clearly hears an improvement Audiogon is probably better than Reddit but I’ve kind of lost hope for this to ever happen. Some people still seems to think that a $150 dac or a $400 amp is as good as it gets and that noo... | |

| 2022 Audio System Wish List and thoughts about streaming During 2021 I upgraded the amp to a used Schiit Ragnarok which turned out to be my best upgrade yet. I have just installed a dac card in it also. For 2022 I hope I can upgrade my speakers since they are +20 years old and pretty basic. After that ... |
