| Best DAC for my system? From what I have read about Topping Dacs I would pass on those.Plus there is way more in what we hear than just measurements, but that’s another topic! Also forget about MQA. Not any better. I would pick up a Schiit r2r Dac Bifrost or Modi. Excel... | |
| Suggestions to match a pair of speakers to Pass Labs XA25? Tri-Art B Series 5. I have a pair coming this week.I have read many at prior Axpona shows preferred this to Spatial and Pure Audio Project. Apparently these speakers compare to those in the 10-15k price range. Tri-Art makes turntables and seems ... | |
| Waht is the best streamer for the money under $2500 (no DAC or storage required). Easy less than $200 + hard drive. Competes with the big boys, but is DIY if you are up for it. There are instructions on Superbestaudiofriends site.I run a Raspberry Pi4b with a Pi2AES as the digital board. I load Moode or PiCorePlayer as softwar... | |
| GR-Research Line Force First Transparent Speakers? They look very cool and Danny Richie is a highly regarded loudspeaker designer. My question is are those planar drivers?Don’t they have dynamic limitations compared to dynamic speakers? How can they move air? I know they are much more efficient th... | |
| Pure Audio Project open baffle speakers Also check out Tri-Art Audio. I have a pair of 5 Open's coming my way soon. Funky bamboo wood. Great dealing with this Canadian company.I have read many comparisons with Spatial and Pure Audio Project.Many like the Tri-Art speakers better. ... | |
| Another streaming newbie Yep, super best audio friends . Sorry | |
| Another streaming newbie saw you picked up the Yggy. Wise man! I would check out pi2design.com and the PI2AES. Cheaper than Digione and it has AES output which I don’t believe the Digione has. AES sounds best on Schiit. Check out super best audio freinds .org (no spaces) ... | |
| Another streaming newbie I’m one of the tinkerers. But if you go this route I believe you will get the best bang for buck. Though it requires a little work and knowledge. I run a Raspberry Pi4b with a Pi2AES as the digital board. I load Moode or PiCorePlayer as software ... | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/life-after-yggdrasil-watering-the-ash.4036/p...Check post #1096. Running single ended this guy says get the Bifrost 2. This guy has listened and compared most of the big buck dacs on the mar... | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts Has anyone had a chance to compare the Bifrost 2 to the Gungnir multibit?They are very close sounding from what I have read.if you are using balanced out (xlr) into your preamp the Gungir sounds slightly better. With rca outs it is close to a draw... | |
| SONIC CRAFT ??? IS THERE REALLY A SONIC CRAFT STORE ??? Jeff at Sonic Craft goes out of his way to take care of customers and is extremely knowledgeable. He has always taken care of me over the years. I trust his ears and expertise. I would call him directly. He may be on vacation, so patience. | |
| Belles upgrade?? Never heard the Belles amp, though I have read the Pass Labs amps are on another level. Currently own a Pass X150 one of the older ones, but see no reason to upgrade with my Supratek preamp.I had a Modwright preamp before the Supratek, comparable ... | |
| Pls Recommend Streamer Under $500 for Tidal “HiFi” I have a similiar set up to double-dutch above. I use a Raspberry Pi3b(Raspberry has the Pi4 now but the 3 is more than sufficient) with a Pi2 Design 502 Dac, with a case from their web site. $124. This can be used as a stand alone dac but is bet... | |
| DAC Event in Phoenix AZ August 24th Dave and Troy from Audio Doctor NJ beat me to it.I own the Current Yggy dac. Optical sounds the worst compared to all other connections. AES/EBU and BNC are the best sounding in my system. I prefer BNC. Sure I’d love to save over $1k and get a Bla... |
