External crossovers for subs @james633 the subs have an adjustable low pass filter/crossover so it seems like all the filters needed are already there and using an external crossover isn’t necessary for proper integration. Unless I misunderstood your post. | |
Use of Denafrips Iris 12th DDC with computer I’m going to contradict myself some relative to my last post. I think the DDC is a good upgrade especially if you use a laptop to stream. Many here state that computer audio pales in comparison to a good streamer, not necessarily expensive just ... | |
Use of Denafrips Iris 12th DDC with computer I agree with @soix @fuzztone that the best solution would be to get a good streamer. I've not done that due to being addicted to the interface for both Tidal and Qobuz via MacBook. I had a WIIM Pro streamer for a day but my laptop into the D... | |
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? |
