| naim DAC-Thoughts? It's a very good sounding unit to my ears. I heard it a few times in Naim's next to the top of the line seperates (non-555 system) and top line Ovators speakers.Naim is a bit tricky to get to sound right with other brand electronics though IMO, es... | |
| Has anybody heard or have the Rega Appolo -R How does the Apollo R compare to the Rega DAC sonically? Just trying to figure out the heirarchy of Rega's digital players. Because the CDP and DAC are priced about the same, I figure the sonic hierarchy would be Apollo R, DAC, then Saturn (and I ... | |
| Bryston VS Cambridge Audio I agree with Mik971. The Cambridge stuff is quite good for the money (haven't heard the just released line though), but not in Bryston's league IMO. I own a B60 and have heard the B60 A/B'ed against a few Cambridge integrateds. No contest to my ea... | |
| jitter handling for bryston bda1 The BDA-1 reportedly does as good a job with jitter rejection as anything else out on the market. I've heard it many times, but didn't throw a bunch of transports at it.The BDA-1 and DAC1 sound pretty different from each other. Both are a polished... | |
| integrated help please I love it when an OP says they bought something and talk about it, and someone else comes along and recommends a component. Am I the only one who reads the thread before posting? | |
| Apple TV or Direct USB Connection to cpu The ATV 2 output everything in 48 kHz rather than the native 44.1 kHz. Not sure about the newest ATV, but it's most likely doing everything at 48 kHz too. Perhaps this explains some of the difference, as from USB may be the native 44.1. I don't kn... | |
| Speaker for Rogue Cronus Magnum with high WAF "High WAF" depends on the wife. What one thinks looks great, another will shoot down. Think about it... when was the last time a woman truly knew what she wanted? That's not woman bashing - when was the last time an audiophile knew what he/she wan... | |
| Glass v.s. Plastic Toslink The thread was started quite a while back, but I'll chime in...I've been using the Sonicwave cable mentioned here. Easily better than any plastic toslink cable I've used - Kimber, Audioquest, and 2 others that escape my memory.I've heard from a fe... | |
| Which DAC is better? Some corners obviously had to be cut from the 750D to make the 300D (figuratively speaking, as I don't know if they share anything designs-wise). Obviously it won't sound as good, and nor should it. But that doesn't make the 300D or even 100D unco... | |
| Speaker for Rogue Cronus Magnum with high WAF I own the Yara Evolution Bookshelves too and will never get rid of them! They're just too good a speaker that's now discontinued. If/when they need to go into a bigger room such as your's, I'll still keep them and use them elsewhere. Here I was th... | |
| Need help matching DAC to speakers and amp I have the ATV Gen 1. Think of it as a 160 gb iPod with optical output. It also does YouTube and Internet radio. After owning it and using it for the last 2 years, I'll never go back to CDs again. The reason I went with it over a squeezebox (which... | |
| Need help matching DAC to speakers and amp I know exactly what you mean by your system being revealing. My B60 and Audio Physic Yara Evolution Bookshelves are ruthless of everything upstream. Even though they don't have metal tweeters, they still shine a light on any flaw, well, as much as... | |
| Looking for a DAC for the Squeezebox Touch I haven't heard the Burson DAC, but I own the Rega DAC. Not a hint of dryness or graininess. Not saying its the best $1k DAC to everyone's ears, but it's easily the best I've heard. | |
| Table radio options for kids room Did you show her a picture of the Mac? My wife asked me why I didn't buy Mac stuff (I own Bryston). Then she saw the price tag. I figure, if your's doesn't, it may be a go. | |
| Need help matching DAC to speakers and amp In regards to the internal DAC card...Im not too sold on the whole DAC technology is changing bit. Yeah, USB inputs have, but other than that there's not much the current DACs are doing that the internal card won't do. Maybe super high-Rex like 34... |
