| 2022 - Ideal Network Transport @gibsonluva Hard to answer that question. A brand new Sbooster 19v LPS or it's like goes for around $400. A brand new Curious USB Cable or similar goes for around $350. I already had the Curious USB Cable on hand; had been using it with my Melc... | |
| 2022 - Ideal Network Transport @gibsonluva With the type of resolving gear that your have, Wison speakers powered by D’Agostino amplification, feeding HolosSound Dac, it is my opinion that you will hear the difference as you step up the ability of your network player. I agre... | |
| Bricasti M5 Users I picked up a Bricasti M5 two and a half weeks ago. I am using a Chord Qutest DAC being fed by Transparent Coax cable. I have not tried going the USB route. In my research I ran across the following which you may already be aware of: (1) Christia... | |

| Which Streamer is a Major Upgrade over PS Audio Bridge II in a DSD DAC Don't know if you are running Roon or not, but can vouch for the Bricasti M5 Network Player which makes for an excellent Roon endpoint. | |
| Recommended integrated amplifier for upgrade +1 for the Coda CSiB Integrated. I have had mine for 2 months now driving Thiel CS 2.4s which present with a wicked impedance curve (around 2.8 ohms at 600 hz), and the Coda handles it with ease. I have the v1, 150 watts per channel into 8 ohms ... | |
| Thiel Owners Additional factoid: On my Thiel Warranty Registration, date of sale to original owner is listed as July 6, 2006. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel My Thiel CS 2.4s are serial# 2951 and 2952. Purchased pre-owned from Audio Consultants. Speakers were approximately 5 years old at time of puchase in April of 2011, with 5 years remaining on the warranty. So presumably manufactured som... | |
| Chord Qutest Purchased mine in March of 2019. No issues. Love it. | |
| Using Melco as a Roon Endpoint @labowma1 So having upgraded your N1A to an EX, are you now using it as a Roon streamer, i.e. with the Melco connected via USB to your DAC. My question then, is the sound quality better than using the Roon Nucleus as a server/streamer connec... | |
| Thiel Owners Coda CSiB integrated amp has been in my system for two weeks now, and I couldn't be happier; delivering the best sound I've ever heard from my CS 2.4s. A significant step up from my venerable Bryston 3Bst / BP20 combo. Two word description of the... | |
| Thiel Owners Just to let everyone know that after a 2 month wait, took delivery of my new Coda CSiB integrated amp today. So far so good. My CS 2.4s seem very happy with it. And more importantly, the Mrs is happy with it. Also happy to report that I ordered it... | |
| Thiel Owners @dsper From 1996 to 2004 I had my .CS 5s hooked up to an ADS A2 integrated (80 watts per side into 8 ohms) and it was decent, but then in 2004 stepped it up to Bryston rig - 3BST with BP20 preamp, and it made for a big step up in SQ. Very same r... | |
| Thiel Owners dsper +1 for the CS .5 - had a pair in my living room from 1996 to 2011 before upgrading to 2.4s. Absolutely fantastic little floor stander. | |
| Who uses ADS Speakers In 2018 picked up a pre-owned pair of vintage A/D/S/ L210B speakers for use in a breakfast room system matched up with a Bluesound Powernode N150. Impressive little speakers. |
