| DAC’s @gdnrbob i think some of the posters, including me, were a little mystified how you said that your system ran roon, and yet you didn’t need a roon core... now we understand... you have the zen mini and zenith, either of which can serve as the c... | |
| DAC’s i think these posts provide a useful perspective on dac choice, especially at a high level of cost and performance what does one want? do we want a dose of vacuum tube magic coming from the dac stage? are we prepared to, and do we welcome tube ro... | |
| Pass Then vs. Pass Now i think @liquidsound ’s post highlights a very important point and that is that amps of certain power levels do better or worse within some range in their power band -- for instance, using high efficiency speakers with paper cone drivers etc, ver... | |
