| Node 2i to Brooklyn DAC+ and XLR to amp or Pre, and RCA to Sub? If I ditch my current Preamp and use DAC+ as a Preamp, what kind of 'instant' Sub level control do I have at my ready? So much dynamic variations between songs, genres etc. | |
| Given Cambridge's Dac Magic and the Plus last release, should I bother? Thanks! Checking out now. Any idea of release date? Also both have the balanced XLR - does this mean I can bypass my Pre-Pro entirely and straight to the Amp? *B&K 200.7 driving Electra-be 928 But that would mean dedicated source only so the t... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. Not only that, but who's to say the CD in your collection from say 1995 wasn't engineering junk? HUGE difference between re-remasters in Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior, Zappa's One Size Fits All, or any obscure George Duke material. Tidal wo... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. Can I add something to the mix here...and if the CD kbs rate is 1400, and Tidal is streaming full CD 1400kbs over CELL TOWERS to my phone, and through my Comcast cable to Mac's Tidal app...for $10/month why are we even talking about CDs?Henceforth... | |
| New iMac, no more Optical out! Help with DAC, best bang for buck? HEY...another update - I have a Schiit Modi 2 available on a local listing $50, and the Behringer 202 on Amazon for $30 but one of the reviews or answers says 16-bit "is probably good for 320 MP3's" - that makes me hesitant because it's 2011 techn... | |
| New iMac, no more Optical out! Help with DAC, best bang for buck? UPDATE :So I did get a used APE and then spent another $10 on a converter plug tip for my optical cable.It DOES kinda work, however the lag in sound actually will create a lag in the Mac's function to make sure it syncs! Pretty intelligent but use... | |
| Spotify or Pandora I finally made the leap to Tidal after researching that it's the only true PCM, and now my Verizon plan with unlimited data is cheaper than my previous plan with xxgb cap (YES you must look into it...they're not exactly going to tell you the plans... | |
| New iMac, no more Optical out! Help with DAC, best bang for buck? PS - Also would an older Airport Xpress with AirTunes work for this? I'm seeing these things on FB Marketplace going for peanuts these days, especially since most don't know how to read the model # ;) | |

| Electra 936be - Border Collie pup ate my drivers Haha...thanks!! I've since made my own solution of habañero peppers boiled, blended with corn oil and filtered. I brush it on just about everything that's not fabric I'm afraid he'd destroy! | |
| Review: Cambridge Audio iD-100 Digital Dock Transport Thanks for the great review, I've been looking for something like this for awhile. There's really only about 3 that do this with dig. out's and one is a complete piece of cheapness.My question is, (and undoubtedly the dealbreaker for me): There's... |
