| What percentage of digital vs. analog? last several months i am spending less time messing with my system, enjoying summer and fall outside and busier with other things and hobbies, and when i listen i just put on nice music, i don’t think gear at all (have the system in a very happy p... | |
| I Cried Today very nice post @bigkidz -- thank you reminds me/us that compassion, empathy and a big heart are what is most needed in this world we now live in... more heart, less greed, less hate | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing @drubin i have not the 204 is the core dac in the 501/502 (minus the manifold dsp features and streaming front end), so i don't see the point in trying it given i have the 501 | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing I have been thinking about the Toucan and the new Oolong which is similar to the pagoda which uses the upgraded PCM 1704 k graded chip and takes AES input. Your thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks. Toucan is very nice. Definitely a simil... | |
| Nad M33 or something better hegels are used by kef at shows, and i would suggest they do this for good reason, sonically.... | |
| Focal Sopra 1 Bookshelves (with subs) or Focal Kanta 2s towers instead? it would seem you are prioritizing the look and cleanliness of the room over ultimate sound quality -- in this case just get the floorstanders, keep the look cleaner... subs/sats will most likely sound better but will no doubt add clutter | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQj_Y8h9npA&t=566s https://youtu.be/B-StTplQZys?si=boT2o4sP4aHhrJX5 lot of useful info here, stick with it, listen all the way through... makes alot of this stuff clear, and understandable... | |
| How good is a match of Vandersteen Treo CT and the LTA Z40+ Intergrated? may not have enough power especially to drive and control the low end of the speaker if driven full range... maybe in a smallish room get powered rel subs, then the zotl will be magic with the treo’s | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend I have been crazy busy these past two weeks. We had a Halloween party for my 5YO daughter and had more than 20 kids at the house. Still cleaning up. scott you missed an opportunity there!... children have the best hearing... we all would have w... | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? despite my having tried so so many dacs in the last few years, i would say that a decent dac in the $1000-2500 range will quite fully please most folks here with good systems in, say, the $5,000-$25,000 range... yes there are a few bad ones out th... | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? i agree, learning to hear differences and assessing sonic qualities is a learned skill, moreso for some than others, but true for all for some top tier dacs, their sounds can be very very similar -- couple examples in my travels... i had the bri... | |
| Nu-Vista 800 v. 600 i have not compared, but i have the 600 and it has as much power as one would need ... my speakers have harbeth mon 40’s, super 5’s, and large spendors, as well as magnepans it is a lovely amp with a silky smooth yet sufficiently impactful and tr... | |
| Significant steps? (DAC) nice article a good read for those who enjoy understanding how these things work in some detail at the end of the day though, i select the filter type (if offered) by ear | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing So the notion that RME ADI-2 Pro is clean and German, and gets out of the way, and we don’t need (and shouldn’t need) anything more from a DAC.. is it not true? it depends, in my view yes it is clean sounding, yes it is german made, but whethe... | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k i would concur that the pontus 2 is the sweet spot in the denafrips line, for most audiophiles with good systems the ddc part is very dependent on how the dac is fed in terms of positive impact on sound quality one caveat though is that i feel d... |
