| Single Ended DAC vs Dual Differential XLR DAC @lordmelton audiosciencereview.com is full of retards that can barely scrape 50 bucks together for a headphone amp. Total wankers that just measure the resistance of cables. I've said enough. haha, +100 could not have said it any better... | |
| Upgrading your system three options DAC, Cartridge or speaker cables??? since you say you stream music most of the time, i would say the onboard dac inside the node 2i is a substantial bottleneck for sound quality in your set up there are many standalone dacs in the $1000 range to consider that will outperform it...... | |
| Single Ended DAC vs Dual Differential XLR DAC short answer is 'not always', or 'it depends' in a theoretical world all other things other than the variable you highlight (dual opposed dac chips vs single) are equal in the real world they are never equal | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? seems like we have some same ol same ol losers back with yet another username, post-expulsion for the umpteenth time... oh well... the holidays’ grace period was nice while it lasted -- trolling / argumentation for its own sake is back in full for... | |

| Next best exponential DAC quality level? op i would agree that kef ls50’s driven by your hint should be sufficiently resolving to hear differences amongst dacs - do try hi-res streams from tidal or qobuz or downloaded ones - recording quality does make a huge difference in being able to ... | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? +1 @soix op - you also did not mention your speakers... no idea whether they have sufficient resolution/quality to allow you to hear the differences among the dacs you are attempting to compare | |

| Tube Vs. SS Preamps ralph - first of all happy holidays to you and yours 🎄🎄🎄 re your comment, i never had the pleasure of having citation gear back in the day, am sure they were wide bandwidth as you say ... my thoughts were based on my own, generalized experiences ... | |
| Tube Vs. SS Preamps agree that lesser tube gear often pleases, especially in the case of those coming from similar priced solid state, which exhibits classic ss harshness and lack of dimensionality - but this pleasing nature comes at the expense of speed and clarity ... | |
| Tube Vs. SS Preamps I know what you mean. IMO it has to do with the distortion signature- neither a tube or solid state preamp will be making any significant distortion but its a simple fact that distortion is inescapable. Its been shown that the lower ordered harm... | |
| Just installed a bluesound node 2i , quality not so good @geof3 i have been told by so many friends/hifi nerd buds that i gotta do roon... it’s funny, we all do silly, illogical things sometimes... i will blow five grand to try a new dac without batting an eye, same to try some hot-sh*t amp, but i jus... | |
