| Snake oil of the year? I think you should jump over to ASR for your fun nyc_ben. Tired of people dissing kit they haven’t tried. I have a friend who recommended this switch to me. I went a slightly different direction (but along the same track). I have an Aqvox 5v USB... | |
| Musician pegasus DAC or Denafrips Aries 2 I read somewhere that Musician's support was not very good. Will have a look for it... | |
| DAC’s @audphile1 The comments above have been posted by just one person on this site... My favourite was them telling some respected members numerous times to go bang their head against a corner wall. | |
| DAC’s You are delusional. At no point have I used language even close to profanity. Calling someone’s comments caustic is akin to profanity? That’s a joke. The most dangerous person in the world is someone with a bit of knowledge. Comments like... ... | |
| DAC’s @shtr74sims It’s hard to say no to a Denafrips or a Holo May KTE for the money, not gonna lie. I am a firm believer that most of what I buy can be improved with modifications. Everything is manufactured to its price point. I have a second Dac... | |
| Cary SACD 306 Upgraded @bigkidz I'm curious what components other than Dacs you upgrade. Clocks? DDCs? Power supplies? Switches? | |
| DAC’s @cakhole Who are you next going to tell to "go stand in the corner" because they don't agree with you. You have shown by your comments to be caustic to the extreme. Your skewed opinions have no sway on any audio related matter, and should be ign... | |
| DAC’s In my opinion, you could get a Chord Qutest for about 2k, which is one of the best DACs around, and save about 5k. Believe me, you will never hear the difference... This is from a guy who at the start of the year? was in 7th heaven with his blu... | |
| Pleasurably better, not measurably better With my audio choices pleasurably and measurably go hand in hand. The measure I use are my ears, which if I do my research, talk to others, and then choose upgrades wisely, gives me an increase in pleasure. | |
| Streamer/DAC - Where is the value? As an entry, Gustard R26 is getting very good reviews as a stand alone Dac. It also has an inbuilt streamer which would simplify things. I moved away from MacBook as streamer was to a Project Stream Box S2 Ultra. Size was its advantage for me alo... | |
| Is AES/EBU or SPDIF connection preferred by Aurender N10, N20 owners? @vonhelmholtz No Aurender here, but have chosen AES/EBU over SPDIF and I2S. Lots of research and some advice to reach this conclusion. Have ordered a reasonably pricey Audience AU24Sx AES/EBU cable. Love their RCA AU24Sx cable so much, have tak... | |
| Are Black Ravioli products sold in the US? Have plans to buy my third set of Black Ravioli Big Pads. And some more small pads as well. | |
| Cost Effectiveness of Bi-Wiring Improvements? Researched the benefit of bi-wire speaker cable a couple of years ago. Consensus I found, was that jumper cables give 95%+ benefit of bi-wiring. Is what I've done to good effect. | |

| ETHERNET CABLES Extended the house in 2009, and had a telephone line put through to the lounge. Most probably Cat 5 cable. Phone is no longer... Was easy for the electrician change the wall outlet from phone to ethernet cable. |
