| How much to spend to improve Linn Klimax If you have the first generation of Klimax Renew - DS/0 - and if you don't want to spend more than $15K, then the only way to improve the SQ of you system is the second generation of Klimax Renew - DS/1. There are plenty of them on the secondhand ... | |
| Ayon S5 VS Aurender W20 There is nothing special about Lumin power supply. If they wanted to create high-quality power supply they would make something like MSB top Power Bases.Linn could easily create such type of power supply. It is not more expensive that their own SM... | |
| Ayon S5 VS Aurender W20 Aurender W20 is an excellent source and it's sound quality completely depends on the DAC quality. But if your DAC has internal clock and has no clock input, then there is no sense in using W20, S10 will sound equal to W20 in this case.Linn Klimax ... | |
| Any DAC comparable to my Linn Akurate CD ? If you like the way your system sounds with Akurate CD I would recommend you to get new Linn Akurate DS. It sounds significantly better than Akurate CD. But, yes, it does not play DSD...If you will use any DAC connected to MacMini you will probabl... | |
| Ayon S5 VS Aurender W20 Aurender W20 is the best digital source I have heard so far. It sounded great in pair with Vitus RD-100 DAC. But W20 achieves the best results with MSB and dCS DACs because you can use a single clock (internal in case of MSB and external in case o... | |
| wadia 521 vs MSB Analog DAC If you want to get the best sound out of MSB you should get their transport (which will be connected to DAC via pro I2S). Or... Wait a bit until they release Network Renderer Input. This thing will turn any MSB DAC into digital streamer (for only ... | |
| MSB Tech: Analog DAC vs. DAC IV Thank you for your answer, Davt.By the way, now there is no need in using MSB DAC with any other source device like Aurender.You will only need: MSB Analog DAC with new Renderer input, NAS, WiFi-router (?) and iPhone (iPad)!This input costs just a... | |
| State of the Source: Server, computer....or what? Aurender W20 does not use a battery for CPU purposes, so it can not influence the sound anyway. I think the battery only needed to protect HDDs from a power outage and also to separate HDDs (distortion that they create) from CPU.I am sure that the... | |
| State of the Source: Server, computer....or what? Aurender X100 is amazing. Heard it together with MSB Analog DAC. This kit is very smooth and musical. Beautiful vocals, sweet heights, deep and powerful bass.Aurender control app is great too.If you are using high-quality power conditioner (or pow... | |
| Bertram Proxima-II I/C cable I am using three Bertram power cables (from the new C-Flow range) with my source/preamp (Linn Klimax DSM) and a pair of Aktiv speakers (Linn Klimax 320A).The result is outstanding! After about 300 hours of burn-in C-Flow cables showed what they ca... |
