| Gryphon Diablo 120, Luxman L-590AXII, Other? For KEF R11 I recommend keeping separates rather than diving into mid tier integrateds. Perhaps get into a reference level amp like a used parasound JC5 and then get a preamp later on. I get the feeling that the equipment you are looking at would be more of ... | |
| Digital Interconnects - Which one is the BEST ??!! agree with @mesch op's question is only productively answered in the specific case, specific gear - generalities not useful | |
| Another person going digital and full of questions Why is it necessary to spend $20k on a DAC before one hears music that sounds like music? it is not - musical dacs exist at very affordable levels... depends how stringent one is about defining in their own minds ’what sounds like music’... lik... | |
| Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP in Cincinnati has signed off :-( yes indeed, many a good laugh from that show back in the day rip hh | |
| Is an unbalanced preamp a bad thing? @facten i take this poster’s comments with large, very large grains o’ salt either a very dull pencil, or a professional chain jerker... (or both)... | |
| Disappointing short life of NOS preamp tube good old stock 12au7’s are still plentiful and pretty inexpensive, your complaint falls on deaf ears with me... and if you only got 7 years out of your pair, you must be abusing your gear he he he | |
| Another person going digital and full of questions Anyway, I’m enjoying it all, though, I have to say, not yet very enlightened. So thanks again. op - i have had some fun on this thread you started...but here are some (serious) key points that may help your quest for enlightenment on the subjec... | |

| Why? (Does the signal degrade in this circumstance...) this is a question for schiit - only they know exactly how the dual pair of rca analog outputs are connected relative to the xlr outs... and i am pretty sure they would say to you the unit is not designed to use more than one of its outputs at the... | |
| Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000 I'm considering Danny's X-LS Encore. make sure you set money aside for his upgrade kit... 😂😁 | |
| Digital Interconnects - Which one is the BEST ??!! gotta have the best, what is the best? we deserve the best... only the best will do... best of everything, all the time, always the best... but wait, not just the best, but the BEST .... the BEST 😵 | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? Proposed solution / first step Upgrade to a (tube based) DAC, budget $25-40k. i have no idea... but my 2 cents... with your system, if you have the mola mola dac and there is harshness, getting a different dac isn't the solution | |
| Gryphon Diablo 120, Luxman L-590AXII, Other? For KEF R11 both excellent gryphon > luxman by a little but both are a good bit above your r11's in relative quality level.... | |
| Another person going digital and full of questions search bar above is your friend... short answer, unless you are going to run roon, get an innous, auralic or lumin one box streamer/dac in your price range |
