| Your experience with an inexpensive DAC? Also have some friends recommend SMSL M400. I was looking at that compared to a Gustard A22. A close call. Settled instead on an extensively modded LKS DA-004. Will keep one of the SEG Dacs, and sell the other. | |
| Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts When I go to dealers it's on my days off, so I'm in my shorts and scruffy gear. They dismiss me as though I can't afford anything in their shop. | |
| Your experience with an inexpensive DAC? A relatively unknown Dac in the US. But reasonably well thought of in the UK. I have two of them, both modded with super caps and updated clocks. Beresford Seg. (Not well thought of by Audio Science Review, but I pay little mind to that in my ... | |
| Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line? I have a pair of Audience AU24SX RCA interconnects. Combined with lots of grief from my family on the purchase. Awesome improvement. Not in a hurry to change, as my sales speech was these were 'end-game' cables. Contacted the distributor regard... | |

| How do you decide what your next upgrade will be? Funds dependent. Depends on availability as well, living in a remote 240v country. I have a list of things I want to purchase. Slowly progress on these. i.e. A modded HiFi router is on it. | |

| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? I've been using my MacBook Pro as my source for a few years. Used a USB/SPIDF converter to convert the USB to coax to go into my Dac. Was pretty happy with that setup. | |
| Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned I have been on the receiving end of some unpleasant comments by some on here. Though, as many, I'm in pursuit of the best sound I can get from my system. Many of the tweaks I have added, have made an improvement. Most of those I cannot expla... | |
| Help Please:Upgrade Coax cable between Node 2i and Chord Qutest..? Looked at a Node 2i, but went for a Project Stream Box S2 Ultra, finally replacing my MacBook Pro. Didn’t need a Dac included. Use a Mad Scientist Black Magic USB through a USB/SPIDF reclocker, with the Black Cat Silverstar. | |

I have revamped my system a little.Bought a Project Stream Box S2 Ultra streamer, feeding this into a modded LKS DA-004 Dac (via Mad Scientist Black Magic USB).Finally replacing an old Macbook Pro as source.I'm planning to add my M2Tech Hiface Evo... |
