| NUPRIME IDA-16 Integrated Amp setup You can connect your computer to the Nuprime with USB instead of HDMI and if you are using a Windows computer or an Android phone you can buy a Chromecast to start with and connect it via optical to the Nuprime DAC for streaming. For a bit more t... | |
| NUPRIME IDA-16 Integrated Amp setup Still no analog outputs and as Denon and Marantz are the same company not surprising. If you only have the three speakers what are you using the AVR for other than the built in streamer and the center channel? | |
| NUPRIME IDA-16 Integrated Amp setup Unlike any AVR I have ever owned yours has no main analog outputs at all only zone 2 and subouts so no way to connect it to the Nuprime that I see. Connecting it the other way is a waste of the Nuprime's capabilities. | |
| NUPRIME IDA-16 Integrated Amp setup If the majority of your listening is to music in stereo then I would plug the pre-outs of the Nuprime into the Denon and then just turn the Denon on for movies and to power the center and hook the other gear into the Nuprime. It really just depe... | |
| NUPRIME IDA-16 Integrated Amp setup Which one you plug into which will depend on which one you intend to use the most as without a doubt the DAC in the Nuprime is better than the one in the Denon. | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Any prospective buyers that may or may not exist may have gotten wind of the Audiogon postings and put a stop to them. I certainly would have in their position. Nothing left for Mark to say at this point anyway and if Kemper is in fact to be an ... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound Class D Mono blocks SX 1000 question Does B&O have newer Icepower modules, sure they do but if you think your amps still sound good then that is all that matters. EJ has had the new 1200as modules in-house for testing them for a while so it is only a matter of time before he dec... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Focal Kanta 2 Well you could certainly entertain switching to 2301's by making a trade with Audio Classics but I suspect there are other tube amps that meet the requirements. You might want to check in at Audio Aficionado where most of the SF and McIntosh crow... | |
| Spatial Audio M3 Triode Master vs Paul Hales Revelation 3 Clayton has an extended trial period you just pick up the shipping. I love mine but they don't have much if anything in common with a box speaker. Whether or not you like them only you would know after listening. | |
| Magico A3 vs. Focal Kanta 2 Congrats you got what you wanted. They will be just fine with your McIntosh gear. If you get the urge to try a tube amp with them just pick one up used and if you don’t see an improvement turn it over again. | |
| Seeking informed advice on speaker acquisition (Vandersteen vs. OHM Walsh) Like Tomic said you can listen to the Vandies at Alan's but with Ohm you will have to take advantage of their 120 day trial. For the money the 2CE Sig will be hard to beat if your room will allow proper setup. I have a pair of 2CE Sigs that have... | |
| Looking for a high end integrated to suit Dynaudio contour 5.4's No I haven't just thought I'd throw it out there as an option to look at as I am considering it to use with my Verity's as well as the FLS-10. May be hard to here as I don't know how many dealers they have other than the same dealer/distributor a... | |
| Looking for a high end integrated to suit Dynaudio contour 5.4's You might also want to look at the hybrid Trilogy 925. | |
| Nuforce STA200 Well if you give the Nuforce the room it needs to breath hopefully it will hang in. If you really like the Nuforce you might want to start looking for a more compatible speaker though. | |
| Nuforce STA200 I had the Job 225 amp for several years and now have the Nuforce which is a scaled down version in my office system. Neither amp is by nature fond of difficult loads. They have both easily handled speakers easier to drive up to almost $20k with ... |
