| What is my next step to a better sound ? The rDAC is easily the bottleneck in the system. It's a great DAC for the money, but it just doesn't belong in your system IMO.I really like the rDAC. It's outclassed by the rest of your gear. | |
| Sub-$600 CDP For Transport and Some Player Duty? I owned the Rega Apollo for about 2 years and loved it. It stayed until it was replaced my their new DAC. That being said, I wouldn't describe it as detailed or detail oriented. It eschews the last degree of detail and a few other hifi traits for ... | |
| Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs? Sorry... my iPhone doesn't make editing easy.The Peachtree units don't come close to the Uniti from a sound quality standpoint. They sound good, but not Naim Uniti good. Not to mention build quality, although I hear the Peachtree guys are very goo... | |
| Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs? The most interesting product in the last 5 years IMO is the Naim Uniti, hands down.Integrated amp, CDP, DAC, iRadio/FM/AM tuner, and streamer all in one excellent sounding package. On top of all that, it's very easy to set up and use.I don't own o... | |
| pure ipod dock The sound check feature reduces sound quality to my ears. I just deal with having to adjust volume. | |
| Apple TV without TV Dpgdave,The iPhone will not put the ATV into standby mode. But, it runs hot when in standby anyway. From what I've heard, the only thing standby does is shut off the video outputs; it doesn't shut the hard drive off/down, which is where the heat c... | |
| Apple TV without TV Refurbished iPod Touches on Apple's website sell for $150. Just an FYI. They're basically an iPhone minus the phone. They can do a lot more than just be a remote, helping justify the cost a little bit. | |
| Apple TV without TV Silverarrows - What issues did you have with yours? I've used mine as my main source and have had zero issues. Well, at least zero issues after the first day or two, but those were learning curve related. I remember after I had everything synched ... | |
| Apple TV without TV The internal hard drive is why I chose the ATV too. Computer doesn't need to be running, no wireless issues, etc. If you store everything as Apple Lossless, you should have plenty of room. If you need more room, synch what you listen to most often... | |
| Apple TV without TV What Macdadtexas said.A Harmony remote will control an ATV,but you need to be able to see what you're highlighting and selecting.iPhone or iPod Touch will control it without a TV. Check out Apple's refurbished stuff on their website to save a few ... | |
| best sounding integrated for under 2500.00 If you can deal with seperates, for under your budget you can get an NAD pre/power combo. PSB and NAD are owned by the same company. They use each other's gear to voice their own. Synergy goes a long way.I think integrateds mentioned earlier like ... | |
| "Best" DAC for a grand or less Ballywho -No cringing from me. Everyone likes what they like. No sense in getting rid of something that makes you happy and is relatively speaking dirt cheap. I really wanted to like a bunch of things that were less expensive than what I've curren... | |
| What happened to my bass? To measure room response, I bought a Rives Audio test tones CD and Radio Shack SPL meter. Put the meter on a tripod at ear height where your listening chair is, and measure away. Rives Audio has a lot of resources; check their webpage.It could be ... | |
| need to down size to monitors PMC's monitors are not front ported. They work well close to a wall (the DB1+ had wall brackets optional, not sure about DB1i).Linn's current Majik monitor works very well against a wall and sounds excellent. Not sure about bass depth though.Totem... | |
