| W4S DAC2 vs Benchmark DAC1 my observation Jerico,I missed your comment before. I agree with your comment comparing the W4S USB to the Benchmarks USB input: "It had a similar amount of detail, and a nice even balance, but a bit more of a natural sounding vibe to me - voices were a bit more... | |
| W4S DAC2 vs Benchmark DAC1 my observation Magnumpi205,I hear what you are saying. If you are sensitive to bright gear you will most likely hate the benchmark. I think the brightness is it's one major flaw. As for the Wyred 4 Sound DAC2 it is growing on me and I have improved the sound wil... | |
| Speakers for Bryston Really anything they are good amps. I demoed the Revel Salon 2 on a full bryston front end today that included the 4BSST2 and it sounded very nice. The system was very balance top to bottom with great bass extension and detail. The high got a litt... | |
| W4S DAC2 vs Benchmark DAC1 my observation Part #2, USB comparisons. In this post I will compare the toslink input of the W4S DAC to the USB input of the W4S DAC2. I have both hooked up to my Mac Mini and can switch in about 3 seconds. From my seat I change the mac's MIDI settings so it wi... | |
| W4S DAC2 vs Benchmark DAC1 my observation Well it is good to see at least some people feel the same way about the benchmark as I do. I really like the Benchmark in a lot of ways. My system has alway had GREAT bass and I attributed it to the speakers and amp, but now that the Benchmark is ... | |

| W4S DAC2 vs Benchmark DAC1 my observation Background:I used both of these DACs in the same system same/set-up. The system is: Mac Mini> toshlink> DAC(both as the preamp and DAC)> W4S ST500 > Thiel CS2.4 speakers. I owned the Benchmark DAC1-HDR for about a 1 ½ years. The goal o... | |
| Looking for opinions on Tannoy Prestige line. Dsholl1,In your system thread you comment on choosing the Kensington over the Sophia 3. Can you give me any more details on why you chose the Kensington?Thanks, | |
| q3 magico it's too early, some reviews spend months with speakers before reviewing them. Also many of the mags just reviewed the Q5 before the Q3 came out. | |

| Help with system overhaul What would you do.... I agree with Mceljo, the receiver will always hold you back. IMO it is almost not worth upgrading speakers if you are just going to use a receiver. It is a fine way to get started but if you really want to upgrade your system move on. Buy new spea... | |
| Looking for opinions on Tannoy Prestige line. Mulveling, Thanks again for another detailed responce. You have pretty much covered all of my questions. I think I will pass on the use Glenair 15" and keep an eye out for the Kensington or Glenair 10. It needs to be used though so I can sell it i... | |
| Looking for opinions on Tannoy Prestige line. Thanks for taking the time to write the detail responses. Mulveling, I was looking at pictures of the Kensington on Google images today and your system came up... small world, great looking system by the way. Anyway back to business; does the bass... | |
| great bookshelf speakers vs 12-18 k floor speakers For me there is no replacement for displacment and fullrange floor-standers take monitors to school everytime. Small speaker may image better and maybe more integrated but they will never be as dynamic. | |
| What speakers have best bass for hip hop, and rock I have to disagree with some of the post in this thread. They have recommended good speakers in general but not what you are looking for. The Klipsch horns really do not go very deep in the bass. Yes they are loud but not deep. The bass in light a... |
