| Is it all in my head?? It's very simple. Just try a set of AQ Storm PC's. If you don't hear a very clear SQ improvement, write back and tell us about it.From my own experience, SQ Storm cables (Tornado, Hurricane) have made the most day/night improvement compared wit... | |
| Ok All you Schiit Eitr's when I switched from USB to coax via the Eitr on my Hegel HD25 DAC it was probably the most satisfying upgrade I've done to my system. And that was initially using a basic BJ coax. A few months later I happened to have the chance to borrow an A... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? OP - if you get the chance, hook up some AudioQuest Storm Series power cables to your system. They are stiff as hell. But you'll never ask that question again. | |
| Any reviews of anticable power cables? I don't really enjoy providing negative personal experiences - especially as Paul was extremely gracious in giving me plenty of time to test, and ultimately return, my AC Reference 3 speaker cables. Having read the reviews, I awaited their arriva... | |
| HEGEL H80 DAC upgrade recommendation 2018 MQU is not a factor for me and I don't upsample above 24/96. The HD25 definitely is dated in that respect but I'm only thinking about sound quality. I'm taking it you use the standard power supply on the Liberty? | |
| HEGEL H80 DAC upgrade recommendation 2018 That’s interesting. I have an HD25 - very nice DAC. You’re saying the Liberty was better? Was that with an external power supply? I’ve been thinking about changing the HD25 for a Liberty or Chord Qutest but can’t decide if the upgrade would be ... | |
| Power Cord suggestion please I recently added an AudioQuest Niagara 1000 power conditioner, and then a Storm Tornado cord from the conditioner to the wall. The SQ improvement (not just a change) was immediately obvious. In my experience, a much greater step forward than cha... | |
| Has anybody compared the Brooklyn DAC or Brooklyn DAC plus to the Liberty DAC I've read a lot of reviews about the Mytek family and my takeaway is that the Liberty is within hair-splitting difference of the Brooklyn DAC+. Which, as we should all realize, is audiophile baloney for saying there's no discernible difference. U... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Is this the same DAC reviewed in monoandstereo 5 years ago (2013)?@keithtexas Yes, that seems to be true. Unless there's more substance demonstrated to validate @teajay's thinking that there may have been some "subtle changes". | |
| Lab 12 DAC1 Special Edition It’s really interesting to see this DAC has apparently been born again. Loads of great reviews from around 2013-14 when it first came out. It probably didn’t get the attention it deserved back then but the current fad for NOS DACs has clearly giv... | |
| For those of us over 60.. Also Brit and 58.....Bowie. | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Has the Lab 12 DAC1 SE been born again? Still wondering why all the fuss over a 5 year old DAC. Not saying being 5 years old is necessarily a bad thing, just can’t understand the comments about it being "new". It’s not the only DAC with great revi... | |
| Lab 12 DAC1 Special Edition Has anyone got any concrete information about whether or not this DAC has been improved in any meaningful way, since it was launched in 2013? I'm not understanding how this is new. What am I missing here? | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio @teajay thanks for your reply.It's a little confusing as they seem to have been using the same nomenclature for a long time (in DAC years). It would be interesting to know more about the improvements - I might reach out to the company directly, a... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio I notice the Lab 12 DAC1 has been around for at least 5 years. Does anyone know if it's changed in any meaningful way? |
