| What’s the best DAC < 6k (system specific) rx8man thanks for sharing. I don’t doubt that’s a fine DAC and that you enjoy it. For twice my budget you very well should. I like that it’s made in USA too. I’m sure that DAC, even if it could be found in the used market, is beyond my reach. | |
| What’s the best DAC < 6k (system specific) thebingster thank you and everyone else who commented. I’m waiting on stuartk’s ad. I hope the La Voce is better than what I sold already ie the Ayre QB9 twenty! | |
| My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions I have the Hegel 590 pushing Magico A3s and extremely happy. Everyone says put subs with them but, to my ear, not needed. If heavy base resides in the track, it’s there. I have a fully treated 15’ sq room. I think the A3 is a bargain on the used m... | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! Traded up from Volti Razz to Magico A3 and very pleased. End game? I’m not sure but, I went to an audio show in Dallas and didn’t heard anything I would consider end game. The A3 has enough low end in my smallish listening space that I don’t yearn... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Uncle John’s Band by John Scofield | |
| speakers for small room Magico A3s work great in my 15’ sq listening room pushing them with Hegel H590. Anything bigger would probably be overkill. Retail for about 16k but available used for under 10. Picked mine up for 9 on the US Audio Mart site. I find that people wi... | |
| I am streaming , how can I play music when provider goes down. Turntable and streamer with hard drive. I have an Innuos streamer that holds 2500 albums. You can rip (copy) from a cd or from the the streamer. | |
| What was your first record? Everly Brothers “Let It Be Me”. Played it over and over and…… | |
| Is usb reclocking necessary? I see this discussion came back to life after over 2 years. As the OP, I think I dropped the ball by not following up after trying and buying a Innuos Phoenix USB reclocker for my Zenith MK3. I found an outlet in Nashville that demos Innuos recloc... | |
| DAC contest: Border Patrol Sei or Chord Qutest? Troidelover1499 I had a similar experience as the setup used to demo a pair of speakers I bought used border patrol SEi. It was my foray back into hifi a couple of years ago. At the time I hadn’t heard other DACs so I didn’t know any better and bo... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? mtbiker29 Chicago is in a great area for used equipment. I live in SC and most of my gear is used and came from your region. I picked up the A3s from Kenosha WI almost new for 60% of retail. They weren’t even broken in yet. Amp from Chicago, DAC f... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? I have a small treated music room (14x14) and I bought Magico A3, unheard anywhere prior to. If I could be happier, I’m too ignorant to know it. However, I did attend an equipment show in Dallas last month and didn’t hear anything I wanted to rush... | |
| Just Getting Back Into Audio and Need Help Soix, I can vouch for what you said about Hegel’s built in DAC. I just got the H590 and its DAC sounds significantly better that the stand alone I had been running, which is a 3,000 unit. I haven’t tried the Hegel streaming device as I’m very plea... | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had I’ve tried Blue Jeans, Audio Quest Granite and 1 other inexpensive cable, I cannot recall the name, before upgrading to Audio Sensibility Signature. The Owner said the AS Signature would be the last cable I would ever (want to) buy and I believe h... | |
