| Use of Denafrips Iris 12th DDC with computer I stream from a laptop via USB to a Hermes DDC running I2S into a Pontus II 12th DAC. I ran the Pontus by itself for an awhile. Adding the Hermes was worth the cost imho. I purchased it used as well, from TMR, so I figured it was worth the expense... | |
| Speakers that disappear Had some in the back seat of my unlocked car disappear. | |
| Small speaker advice I will echo what @bgross recommended. The Ls3/5a is a magical speaker. I heard a pair of the limited edition Falcon Acoustics gold badge about a month ago and was smitten. So much so that I couldn’t get them out of my head. I ended up buying the F... | |
| Several used sonos faber il cremonese for sale. why? I recall reading he has MC901s in a previous post somewhere here. No idea about preamp. | |
| Scout's Honor No Internet Search R n' R Triva questions (4) I don’t know even a guess for 2,3 or 4 but for 1 I would guess Van Halen and The Cars. | |
| Would McIntosh Auto Transformers affect speaker sound? And one of the world’s best solid state amplifiers uses autoformers. | |
| DACs - Holo/Kitsune, Bricasti, PS Audio, dCS, etc T+A, Lampizator, Denafrips (I have a Pontus II 12th with a Hermes DDC), Chord, Mola Mola. I’ve not owned any other than the Denafrips but the others get a lot of interest on here. If you post the characteristics you’re looking for from your DAC ... | |
| DACs - Holo/Kitsune, Bricasti, PS Audio, dCS, etc I understand what you’re saying and customer support is an important aspect in making a purchase. However, if that’s a deal breaker then don’t buy from Holo Audio or Kitsune. There are too many excellent DACs out there to get worked up over one ... | |
| Fair Blind Test?? I don’t know what’s required to make it valid, but I can clearly hear a difference between the two sources. | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs McIntosh DA2 - Trouble Hearing the Difference @mdalton thats certainly an impressive resume. I don’t discount his findings I just don’t know how to reconcile his measurements with the specs from McIntosh. They might not be the same thing. I certainly don’t have the background nor have I read ... | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs McIntosh DA2 - Trouble Hearing the Difference @mdalton I saw that in the review but I don’t see those numbers reflected in McIntosh’s specs, I see 114db for the amp. Just not sure where the reviewers are getting their numbers. | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs McIntosh DA2 - Trouble Hearing the Difference @mdalton having just read that review I’m not sure where that amp SNR is coming from. The MA9500 specs read as 114db for the amp SNR. What am I missing? | |

| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? My therapist tells me I have trouble making decisions. You’re making it way too hard and overthinking this. Seems like you’re going to have regrets whichever choice you make. Pick a lane, don’t look back and enjoy your speakers. | |
| Acoustic treatment ideas Glad you got it sorted. $600 is pretty cheap for big improvements. I have a velvet acoustic curtain in my room also that works pretty well. If you have a mic and a laptop you can use software like REW to take some measurements if you’re interes... |
