| Need help Cary CD-308 or Naim CD5i Paul,I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that Naim never puts digital outputs on their players. So the DAC idea is a non-starter. Someone please feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken. | |
| My favorite Steely Dan song has to be... Bodhisattva! | |
| What made you select "audio" as your hobby I don't consider listening to music a hobby. The gear thing is just an obsession with shiny objects that I can't seem to shake. | |
| NOS DACs? Guys,As I should have mentioned above, the Timbre TT-1 was available with a balanced option, AES/EBU input and XLR balanced outputs. I know because I owned one. If you can find one for less than $7-800 buy it, you won't regret it. Good luck and ha... | |
| If you started over what would you do differently? I would've found Audiogon sooner rather than starting out buying new equipment. Used is the only way to go, better selection, better prices, and lots of cool, fun people. At least I found it eventually! | |
| NOS DACs? Find a used Timbre TT-1, they usually sell for $5-800 when they appear. I used to own one and have always regretted selling it. The sound is highly detailed but still organic and a bit warm. Cool industrial design to boot. Check one out sometime, ... | |
| Best Small Speaker System You've ever Heard I love my current system, Tube Technology CD player> Deja Vu Audio Preamp/Amp> JMlabs Original Micro-Utopias. It's organic and warm while still presenting plenty of detail. The Micro-Utopias are great sounding monitors, especially in my smal... | |

| Ben Harper It's called I See The Light and it's absolutely amazing blues/gospel. Great songs, great voices, amazing musicianship. Everyone should have this album. | |
| Amplifier advice for Wilson Sophia speakers Tarasando,What are you talking about, I don't see any posts about Krell going out of business. Where are they? | |
| How isolated is your hi-fi? When my GF and I were looking to buy our first place, I suggested a seperate bedroom/den for the system since she seemed bothered by it visually in our living room. To my shock she said no way, if we're going to have a stereo, especially a silly e... | |
| Favorite reviewer? I like both Art Dudley and Roy Gregory. They're both excellent reviewers but they're also good writers, something sorely lacking in audio criticism. | |
| Good CDP with digital input/DAC capable I have an awesome sounding player dac from Tube Technology with a digital input via BNC or optical. You can get a BNC coax adapter so that it will work with your coax output. It's an awesome player with the same dac section as the Chord DAC64 and ... | |
| Review: Wadia 581i CD Player It doesn't sound like a fair fight as something was obviously wrong with the Wadia. There shouldn't be crackling of any sort, so there was an issue that might have been hampering performance. You should get the unit repaired and try again. Thanks ... |
