| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system Besides losing some richness and harmonics of the tube sound, does anyone care to wager a guess on what will happen to my bass response going to a digital amplifier? | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system @djones51 Closest dealer is about 2.5 hours away. But that would make a nice overnighter for the wife and I. And they actually sell Audionotes as well so I wouldn't have to lug mine around. I will give them a call on Monday just to BS over the... | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system @maritime51 That's a new one for me. The research begins. Thanks. | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system @erik_squires Not a bad suggestion! | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system @erik_squires I'm a little worried myself. If I'm making the change, I think I would prefer to give up tubes entirely in the chain. But I do want to keep my AN speakers. | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. Does anyone have experience with running high sensitivity speakers (Audionote specifically) from the 2170? I've been contemplating getting away from my SET amp, pre, DAC etc. I like the fact the 2170 seems to maintain dynamics/soundstage at lowe... | |
| Has Anyone Auditioned an LKS MH-DA004 DAC? @auxinput Seems you've got a very good understanding of what's under the hood of these components. Way over my head but I enjoy learning and doing research. @melm Haha I did the same thing and used a lot of Google translate as well. I also didn'... | |
| TASH SULTANA I can’t get into most of her music but "Jungle" is amazing. The instruments and recording effects are mind bending. | |
| Has Anyone Auditioned an LKS MH-DA004 DAC? @smodtactical Great gear! I’m sure you get a lot of enjoyment there.As for the LKS 004 besting your current set up, it’s hard to say without knowing your own sound preferences, the characteristics of your phones/speakers and what you hope to gain.... | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? For me, it's been my Audio Note Kit 003 speakers (Audio Note AN-E LX/He spec). I've been through a few different speakers last few years including Spatial Audio M3 TS, Totem Element Ember and Tekton Double Impacts etc.These AN's do everything I'v... | |
| Add streamer with quality sound to system for Tidal and portable drive I just revamped my system from a MacBook Pro to a streamer. I also use an external DAC. I debated between the Bluesound 2 or Auralic Aries Mini. I went with the Mini based on the Lightning DS platform for the App. Very stable with great reviews... | |

| Has Anyone Auditioned an LKS MH-DA004 DAC? I’m bringing this thread back as I have recently replaced my Chord 2Qute with the LKS MH-DA004. There is also not a whole lot of info/reviews out there on this great component.Here are my comparisons between my 2Qute and the LKS 004: There is no c... | |
| Auralic Aries Mini sporadic crackling/static on co axial output. @ghosthouse Thanks for the input. I was quite surprised at the operating temp. Good to know it's probably normal with her. Great little unit btw. And the Lightning DS operating system is pretty slick and stable. | |
| Auralic Aries Mini sporadic crackling/static on co axial output. @jond Good idea. I will email them tomorrow and see what they say. I'll keep this thread updated as I hear back. |
