| Help with upgrade bug... To OPWhat about the current system are you wanting to improve? | |
| Do you like your speakers aimed directly at each ear or.... Think of your toe-in angle as a treble level control and an imaging control. Straight ahead to start, then dial in gradually to get the right tonality (clear and detailed but not too sharp) and image specificity (image wide and deep, objects disti... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... Sorry didn’t mean to cause consternation with my comment above - I had limited exposure to the unit - about 1.5-2 hrs listening to it and other DACs (Chord Dave, current Yggy, higher Auralic,) in a good friend’s system - Conrad Johnson/Primaluna t... | |
| RME ADI-2 DAC FS 2-channel DA Converter experiences? yes it is absolutely excellent - probably best value for the money taking into account sound and featuresnot a romantic sound though - clear and sharp, great impact and drive - clear lens to the music, no rose colored glasses here | |
| Another streaming newbie My travels through into the streaming realm during this Covid stay at home period has been fun. I have a pretty nice ’old school’ hifi system -- Oracle Delphi TT, Ayre PX5E, Modwright tube output Marantz CDP, CJ Premier 16LS2, ARC VT100-2 amp, Qua... | |
| Another streaming newbie @big_greg (and others with knowledge)"Adding an expensive DAC to the Bluesound is kind of like putting a $1,000 cartridge on a $500 turntable. Sure, it’ll sound better than the stock cart it came with, but you won’t come close to what that $1,000 ... | |

| is it possible to make digital audio sound like vintage vinyl my 2 centsvery good streamed digital today sounds every bit as good as top tier vinylvinyl still has a more romantic sound but digital sounds every bit as good - lobster vs ribeye | |
| RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000? I have a RME coming in as well as a Chord Qutest and will compare to Chord 2Qute which I have had for some time. The 2Qute has always amazed me with its clarity, drive and fullness, but then again I have alot of tube gear downstream from it. | |
| Looking to upgrade DAC from SA8005 I have a Marantz 8005 with the Modwright mod/tube output stage/power supply. Wonderful. Closest to analog I have gotten with CD's. Now playing with streamers and modern DACs like the Chord stuff and Schiit Yggy... they are close but still not t... | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? @simao To me the ProAcs give the best combination of wonderful imaging/layering, true transparency/speed, midrange/vocal realism AND yet they are not fatiguing for long listening sessions. Other Brit speakers I have tried, while very good, are eit... | |
