| piano works (concerto/jazz) speakers ATC/Proac/JMR/Vienna Acoustic/B&W I owned proac D25s years ago and thought they had the best piano reproduction I’d heard from anything else I’d had up to that point. At this price you may also want to check out the Quad Z1. | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO @grannyring have you played enough with the different chokes to have an idea of the difference in sound? I read somewhere the Lundahl amorphous core might present a little more detail but the regular ones are rounder sounding. Also is the choke ... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO My EVO has about 500 hours now and I'm really enjoying it. I'm very impressed with its overall balance and coherency. I can't find anything wrong with its sound at this point (some DACs are too bright, hard, or muffled; or have a strange tonalit... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO Branislav, that's what I meant when I said I plugged in my cheap laptop that I normally use as a Roon core/server hidden away in a closet. It sounded better than the Oppo. | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO Input source (’streamer’) quality really matters - no skimping here. I believe Ben has said somewhere in these forums to get the best out of the Mystique you have to have a comparable quality streamer otherwise you may be wasting your money. I fou... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO I have 150+ hours on my B4B now, upgrades included the class A output and SPDIF analog section upgrade (both standard on B4B21). I'm comparing it to a Luxman D08u, streaming through a Lumin U1. The Luxman is a very smooth and 'analogue' CD playe... | |
| members and their systems I'm surprised no one mentioned the term "audiophilia" yet. It's a sickness. A fun one though. | |
| Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass OP, I also have Harbeth 40.2s. I've tried several DACs/CD players and other components (including Class D amps from my normal Luxman), and the Schiit surprised me that a DAC could make so much difference in the bass department. No other change i... | |

| pops and ticks from DAC My streamer does this if I have both USB and SPDIF plugged in at the same time. Different streamer (Lumin) but maybe similar causes. | |
| How to go about collecting Classical Music Try JAV recordings Daniel Roth at St. Ouen de Rouen, and Vincent Dubois at St. Sulpice, both SACDs. Excellent examples of the genre and these organs. If you seek out the Fagius Bach set, do NOT get the SACDs, sound quality is not great, get the ... | |
| How to go about collecting Classical Music Mike/skyscraper, I'm an organ buff and recently had A3s also, they do fine with organ music - excellent low frequencies. I didn't find need for a subwoofer. EASY way to get a great sampling of great CDs: if you do Amazon, search on "Cavaille C... | |
| Best upgrade for cd player? I thought you were looking to improve the player you had. In that case, the Oppo 205 is a really good DAC. I had one - bought a Bryston BDA3 because it takes the DSD stream from the Oppo and I have a lot of SACDs, and honestly couldn't hear much ... | |
| Best upgrade for cd player? I find stillpoints help underneath. | |
| Burning in a new DAC Scottie, a tuner is a standalone component (or built in to a receiver) that allows one to listen to AM or FM radio. Since it is always broadcasting (assuming you "tune in" to a radio station), it’s an easy way to get free and constant signal into ... |
