| 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? :) | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k Why not RME ADI-2 Pro? | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? @bigkidz your remark about class A mono blocks and how class D is “not even close”. Please do share what gear you are commenting about? Whatever your speakers - I’d love to stack a pair of Genelec “ones” next to it, with their brilliant implement... | |
| new to streaming- help! Node 2i had the same idiotic issues for me too. And the sound quality isn’t much to write home about. Get a Lindemann Limetree Bridge II or Wiim Pro. Both in a similar price range, and far better sound quality. No dropping and wifi issues. Also if... | |
| Auralic Vega G2.1 vs Lumin T3 Thank you. For the Aries / Vega combo.. what cables would you recommend? | |
| Auralic Vega G2.1 vs Lumin T3 Thankyou @mgrif104 - very helpful, appreciate the patient and insightful notes. I'll demo the following setups 1. Auralic Vega G3 alone (+ maybe LPS) 2. Auralic Aries G2.2 + LPS + Mola Mola Tambaqui 3. Auralic Aries G2.2 + LPS + Vega G2.2 4... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers In a month or so, we will know what the Grimm MU2 sounds like in one box, and whether it'll beat Aries 2.2 + LPS + Tambaqui.. which totally comes to around a similar cost if not more. | |
| Auralic Vega G2.1 vs Lumin T3 Some questions as I'm evaluating a similar upgrade. 1. Is Vega only the DAC? Their confusing writeups on the website suggest Vega is a "streaming DAC". Doesn't Vega have an inbuilt streamer.. why get Aries on top? 2. How have you "optimized the... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Snowflake Midnight by Mercury Rev.. Those who like esoteric prog rock type bands like Lambchop would enjoy this album. Although it defies genre categorization. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Palomar Parade - Sons of the East Some lovely tunes in there. Bit of folk rock. Just melodic sound and well recorded. | |
| Ethernet connection for best sound quality Somewhere in this thread some wellmeaning ignoramus said "you don’t need a dedicated streamer (vs a PC) for top notch performance". This is laughably false, and even the least trained ear will immediately recognize the sonic difference between th... | |
| Dynaudio Xeo 20 vs KEF LS50 Wireless Just to update my message for anyone interested. Having extensively used LS50, and Xeo 20, and Focus 10 (latest Dynaudio wireless speaker), I'd say with the MCRU Linear Power Supply the Focus 10 is in a whole different league. | |
| Do I need a sub woofer to match my ATC SCM11s Why not just have an ATC subwoofer? | |
| Dac that has tone and timing? Heard no real difference between my RME ADI-2 Pro, which I tried to "upgrade" to T+A 200 DAC + PreAmp. Both are DAC+preamp, which is necessary for me. People’s mileage may vary. My speakers in question are Dynaudio Focus 20 (active), and the sourc... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Guys and gals - when mentioning a random artist, be kind and mention what genre it is! |
