| Streamer/DAC - Where is the value? So many amazing replies here! I’m leaning my investment into a great DAC first and streamer second. My inclination is separates because I don’t ever think I’ll be done messing around with equipment. That being said, the Auralic Vega G2.1 is at th... | |
| Upgrade Time @soix I hear what you're saying and it make sense. I'm at the exploratory phase at this moment so the wide range of recommendations is actually helpful. I wish I could say I'm looking for exactly XYZ but I can't. Actually I don't wish that because... | |
| Upgrade Time @sbank Your line of thinking makes sense. Basically you are saying the Cambridge DAC/Pre-amp will significantly drag down even a $10K level amp. I wonder if others agree with this? Is the CA 851N streamer so bad that I'd be better off spreading t... | |
| Help with Shortlist of Speakers! (SF vs Devore vs Others?) So I ended up getting the Sonus Faber Olympica Nova II's!! The Audiovector R3 Arretes didn't have the visceral bass I was looking for and the O/96's just look too old school for me. I even tried the Audiovectors with a sub but that didn't provide ... | |
| High End Portable Wireless/Bluetooth Speaker Thanks for clarifying but I fully understand that. Which is why I stated I'd prefer to play the music through wifi/ethernet. i.e. the internet. I'd expect the speaker to allow for tidal connect or some other way to directly stream the music. As yo... | |
| AUDIOVECTOR SPEAKERS I'd be interested to hear more reviews. I'm considering the Audiovector R3 Arrete as an option for my space that doesn't allow me to pull the speakers that far from the wall. I found the bass to be a little less weighty than I would like. It's def... | |
| Help with Shortlist of Speakers! (SF vs Devore vs Others?) As an update - I went and listened to the Vandersteens and Audiovector R3 Arrete. I was really impressed by both. The Audiovectors had a very unique and engaging soundstage. It might have something to do with the rear firing tweeter? The only prob... | |
| Help with Shortlist of Speakers! (SF vs Devore vs Others?) One of the audio shops in town also just recommended I come in and listen to the Audiovector R 3 Arrete. There doesn't seem to be as many reviews for these out there but I’d be interested to know if anyone has a take on these as well. Based on som... | |
| Help with Shortlist of Speakers! (SF vs Devore vs Others?) Again thanks for all the speaker recs everyone. I'm taking note and researching.A few have mentioned the SS amp pairing with the Orangutans and I should mentioned I auditioned both the SF and the Devores using my amp. I was impressed with both eve... | |
| Help with Shortlist of Speakers! (SF vs Devore vs Others?) Wow so many great responses here! I'll need to digest them.@audiokinesis - Yes there is a column that sticks out about 2 inches. I could move the speakers further to the right and avoid it. My current speaker are nice and warm but lack the bass an... |
