| Downside to R2R Ladder DACs? I don't know much about R2R Dacs of 10 years ago,but when I see the inside of a Denafrips R2R Dac with over 400 capacitors I wonder more about the sound impact of any number of those caps going bad over time, and by time, I mean the general time m... | |
| Synergistic Research Cable Risers? I listened to the risers at Rocky Mountain last year. Did it make a difference? Yes. With many tweaks it's often about the visceral feeling of the music, ie is it less fatiguing, do your shoulders drop when you listen, smooth out subtle edges/shar... | |
| Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! Great question. As originally a digital/streaming/CD listener, I only buy albums that I'm going to listen to all the way through and are high quality recordings. Too many to list. | |

| Playing mono records properly without breaking the bank - a phono pre-amp question. Thanks everyone for chiming in.

I don’t however want to go that route since only a small portion of my collection today and possibly into the future will be mono.. also (a)I’m not q... | |

| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? I sense that the definition of a digital gear sounding "analog" is going to be different for everyone and for some may be life long pursuit. For what its worth, last weekend at the Rocky Mountain Audio Festival, I experienced the Innuous USB re-c... | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! @plga, wondering what DAC you used for this experiment? | |
| Sony DVP-S9000es question @jvcn Hi. I just got a used DVP-9000 ES and thinking about Denafrips ARES as well.. Do you still have the combo and can you share you experience with it? I'm currently running the CD player into my Hegel H80 integrated's internal DAC. Thanks ... | |
