| Review: Ultra Fi DAC-41 DA converter One other thing I thought I might add to my comments.I attend house concerts on a frequent basis. Friends who have connections in the music industry book musicians and their groups to play their music in someone's home. We all pay up equal shares ... | |
| Review: Ultra Fi DAC-41 DA converter I promise I’ll get to your concerns and requests, but while I have your attention, please indulge my thoughts for a moment or two.My review might seem to be side-stepping a direct head-to-head contrast/comparison of the Tranquility SE DAC and the ... | |
| Which DAC w/ More Top to Bottom Extension? I suggest the Ultra Fi DAC-41 using Fidelia with a 2010 or 2011 MacMini (SSD & at least 4 GB RAM) and a miniplat2. The bass and treble extension is remarkable, very musical and detailed. A pleasure and won't break the bank.:) listening,Ed | |
| Apple Mac Mini as a music server @Artez You asked,>>Can anyone recomend a good DAC that wont break the bank.<<I recommend that you take a careful listen to the Ultra Fi DAC-41. I and others have made contributions to a thread on Audiogon in regard to this new and what... | |
| most musical DAC under 1k? I have to agree with Scar972 the iRoc DAC-41 is both incredibly detailed and at the same time astonishingly musical. I own a Tranquility SE, and it is very, very good. The DAC-41 takes things to a whole new and very pleasing level. It's a little m... | |
| USB cable..what do you have. IMHO, the key here is the word "better." Better in terms of what? Liquidity, musicality and detail...?Your remarks do not surprise me. Are you sure that the particular throwaway cable that, according to you, performs so well is not a manufacturing... | |
| Mac sound quality @Tmsorosk, you mention in your original post that you are using a power conditioner. Disconnect the computer from the power conditioner. Just plug the 'puter directly into the wall. See if that changes anything for you. Is your power plug polarize... | |
| Thoughts about the new MacMini & Lion OS @ Meiwan, as you continue to listen with Lion installed, please keep us informed as to your experience and thoughts about that experience. Anyone else who has upgraded to Lion and uses PM or Fidelia, your experience and thoughts are appreciated as... | |
| AntiCables v. Morrow? Could some of you 'goners who have moved from Morrow 4s "up" to 6s or 7s tell me what specific qualities you experienced in that upgrade. I'm interested in your experience with the upper level Morrows with respect to various music. I'd be interest... | |
| Will a quality USB cable make a difference.... @Docks, I'm gonna quote Judge Belvin Perry (Casey Anthony trial) regarding your 6-14-11 post:"What we don't know is a wide universe of things we don't know."If you don't have the experience (aka experiential knowledge), Docks, why post a comment o... | |
| Best Cables for around $500 Give Morrow Audio a try. I've had great success with the ones I own and use on several systems.:) listening,Ed | |
| A good start on selecting cables? Morrow audio cables. I have ICs and PCs on my McIntosh amps and preamps (tube and SS), and they are very, very good together.:) listening,Ed | |
| Best DAC from $1500 to $2500 or so @Linaeum66 the Tranquility DACs are my second and third DACs owned. The previous DAC was the UltraFi iRoc, one of which I still have and use, and another which I will put up for sale sometime this summer. The iRoc is remarkable for what it does an... | |
| Best DAC from $1500 to $2500 or so In my experience (I own both, on separate systems) the Tranquility and the Tranquility SE DACs are worth every dollar in this price range (in the OP setup). Dollar for dollar, these are amazing DACs when properly set up and with the appropriate ca... | |
| Will a quality USB cable make a difference.... @Chatta... everything about cables is system dependent. Tell us your experience; I for one would like to know. :) listening,Ed |
