| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) I have read all of this but have a question. I have all my cds stored FLAC on my Synology NAS. I stream music through SONOS through the house being happy with the general outcome. But for my serious listening I feed to a SONOS Connect to my main ... | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming @holmz My comments above are all within ultralinear. I have not tried triode yet. But I certainly will. Thanks. That amplifier allows switching on the fly… With the remote.The Taksman resistors “being so sensitive” sounds snake oily,They are used ... | |
| Power Down Sequence for Amp / TT to Avoid Speaker Pop Does it still pop when the volume is turned down?There is a mute button on my preamp, and also one on my phono stage.So I have choices. | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) @holmz Your Thread Title and OP make it very clear that you are inquiring and looking to have a input to help improve your understanding of the requirements.If that is being shown as difficult to embrace by a contributor, it is not really somethi... | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) @mahler123 I was asking for input, but your tretice seems like I have offended you? | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming @kingbarbuda how is it in triode?and ultra-linear? | |

| Convert Vintage Audiophile CD Player (Mod Squad Prism - CDB650) to "DAC" Isn’t the ModSquad fellow still in San Diego somewhere?(Maybe he/they would have ideas)In a discussion with one of the shops in the area, his name was mentioned a few weeks ago, and the location… | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) Forget all that stuff. Pitch it all out and get a set of the Dutch & Dutch 8c. Not only are these loudspeakers amplified, they have built-in DAC and DSP EQ. All you need are them and a digital source like a laptop, an iPad or even just yo... | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) @audiotroy There is a lot of misinformation here the quality of the data stream really matters and can totally affect the sound quality of the dac all dacs are sensitive to jitter recllocking can help but digital noise can not be reclocked out.Wha... | |
| Reterminating older MIT 750 CVT Speaker cable to a shorter length - Can this be done? Is that 31 ohm in series?Or with the capacitor in series between the +/- to roll the high end? | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? Thanks @bifwynne , one problem is that I am 1000-2000 miles from most shops. But I do an appointment with one in 3-1/2 weeks.My ARC gear has also worked fine… for many decades. | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) @holmzIt’s difficult to understand what you are targeting when your OP says “high end digital” (what does this mean to you?) and it appears you have not stated a budget. Generally speaking, digital audio playback requires a server(where music fil... | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? The business part is that, IMO, it is unfair and unrealistic for one to think that they can sit for hours on end in a brick and mortar store, take up a salesperson's time comparing amps, ... and then not to buy something.The sales people are there... | |
| Reterminating older MIT 750 CVT Speaker cable to a shorter length - Can this be done? Are they resistors, inductors, or capacitors?If one could measure them, then it might be possible to add them to the cut off end.Or just remove those resistors, as they should not help a lot. They would reduce the damping factor… which maybe be wh... |
