| Time to move UP, speaker-wise... +1 for listening with your own ears. For your researching consider ATC. I have the SCM 11 v2 from Music Direct. I think I paid around $2000 or so. The SCM 19 are higher up the chain. Used they should be your price range. Two comments made in... | |
| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? I can’t comment on the sound quality if that’s what you’re asking. I have heard the vault and have been pleased with the sound. I also really like the user interface. Can you control the WD via the Node interface? If your music is already rippe... | |
| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? Nicodemix: lots of answers to your question since what you’re asking is just for a server, if I understand your question. Price is always a variable. A few options I can think of off the top of my head: your computer can serve as your server. I... | |
| Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever) I’m 40 so I don’t know how much value my comments may have. Another member asked what’s your goal in simplifying. Less boxes, cables? Lower cost? What about budget?I’m all in favor of simple. My dad has an awesome system but it’s very complicat... | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations Thanks for the info, Transience. The only review I could find on the gold note from digital audio review suggested it sound “hot” which I took to me bright, harsh. Your review is the opposite. I have ATC speakers which are not bright but are de... | |
| beginner seperate system I have a Red Wine Audio (no longer made) Integrated that I use and love. It’s A tube preamp with a battery power amp side. May sound weird on the form but my ears say it’s good. Easy to find used models and Vinnie still services them. Had as a... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Lots of great recommendations on here. I own Wyred 4 Sound ST-500 mk 2 and enjoy it a lot. I've had it for 3 years now and can't complain a bit. They have a 30 day audition period so not much risk there if you want to dip your toe into that wate... | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations Interestingly in the article usery referenced above, the DAC section of the m100 is the same used in ATC’s own CD/DAC. Since they are the ones that have manufactured my speakers that seems like a cool coincidence. I know any DAC is more than jus... | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations Any differences between m100 vs m150 other than watts? | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations @mr_m--wise comments. good stuff.@usery--Nola! Sweet! Clever speakers. We should be friends. ;)I see one available on The Music Room with room correction which I think would be smart given my inability to do anything about speaker placement. ... | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations @usery64– really helpful comments and references. Thank you for chiming I’m with your personal experience and other good info. What speakers are you running with it? | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations Any thoughts on Classe Sigma 2200i or Anthem STR? Love them Canadians! | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations @djones: the M100 and M150 are the most intriguing to me and I keep going back to them. On paper they look great. Hard to find any reviews that are of any help. In a world of audio reviews where all of them are positive reviews I kind of read b... | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations @maritime--thank you for the suggestions. I've never heard of Nuprime so I'll take a look. I have heard of bluesound but didn't know about the node 2i.@audionoobie: I have considered the Naim Uniti product lines but I don't think the Atom has en... | |
| Looking to Re-cap my Krell KSP 7B in DC area - Any recommendations Look for music technology in Springfield. I have used him before and appreciated him every time. https://maps.google.com/maps?oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari&um=1&ie=UTF-8&fb=1&... |
