| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? The only way to decide which path is "better" is to simply go with and without a preamp in one's own system and then choose which path floats one's individualised personal boat more..... :) | |

The wifie will likely shoot down any of my pindaric dreams of audiophilic grandeur *Sighs!* Hello Guido,Good to hear from you again although I am a bit saddened by your predicament at home even as I think you may have said it tongue-in-cheek.Be th... | |

| Redbook Keeps Surprising Hi kalali,Probably not as the quality of the cdp’s transport matters here. But once cd’s are ripped losslessly to the format of your choice onto a thumbdrive, all that is needed is a quality dac that sports a usb A-port. A few other dac’s today th... | |
| esoteric products Jon2020: How do you like the N-05? What are you using in terms of NAS or local/remote cloud storage?Hi zephyr24069,Just a quick update on the N-05 from my previous post.The N-05 has a rear panel usb A-port for a thumbdrive transport. Over the week... | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising Hi donjr,Yes, that is correct. The thumbdrive is ported to the JB which in turn is ported to the dac. Makes a whole lot of difference! I thought the iFi USB 3.0 was good for the PC set-up but apparently not good enough. I use JRiver to rip but oth... | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising Another weekend, another revelation.I have a rear panel usb A-port on my dac for a thumbdrive transport. Over the weekend, I compared thumbdrive in series with the AQ jitterbug ported to the rear vs thumbdrive ported to the PC which relays the usb... | |
| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. ..... I make the assumption we here are all mature adults who happily share information and perspectives and are capable of determining what sounds good to us.......Charles +1, Charles.Good to know your Yamamoto DAC is still holding up very well. ... | |
| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. I too am in George's bad books for mentioning the fuse!Don't sweat it. :)Many of us including yours truly, have been in his bad books for eons, simply for holding contrarian views to his dogmas. Pet issues of contention have been 1. R2R vs delta-s... | |

| MBL omnidirectional speakers. How do they sound ? .....its hard to ever go back and be 100% satisfied.Not true. Been there, done that and never ever going back to MBL. Moving from MBL to Vienna Acoustics' coincident midrange/treble transducer/module was indeed most revelatory and satisfying at th... | |
| MBL omnidirectional speakers. How do they sound ? Mapman,Have you owned MBL speakers over some length of time in your home system?Thanks in advance.J. | |
| MBL omnidirectional speakers. How do they sound ? I actually find them worse in very large rooms as imaging gets even more diffuse. | |
| MBL omnidirectional speakers. How do they sound ? the whole room is fill with sound. one drawback is the image location & depth of field are not easily recognisable They require lots of power and current. Agree. Used to own MBL but gave up on them. They are very different from my current sp... | |
