| Revel Salon2s: Seeking Advice @christianb5s4 I can't tell how wonderful it feels for me to have found the perfect speakers in my audio journey (Revel Salon 2 speakers). Now, I can just layback with a sense of satisfaction and contentment, and enjoy them for years to come wi... | |
| Hegel comparison @bigtwin Your point is well taken. I’m sure that if there were no other options, I could live happily ever after with the H590s or the H600s internal DACs, because on their own merits, they do sounds quite outstanding. Heck, for years and years, w... | |
| Hegel comparison @bigtwin No, I never used, nor did I ever intended on using the internal DAC of my H590. I never us the internal DACs that come with any component. I've invested in a great deal into a stand-alone, reference caliber DAC that I believe to be s... | |
| Hegel comparison I'm a Hegel H590 owner who just recently had an opportunity to have an extended listening session with the new H600 (I use a separate external DAC) . I can tell you that based on just the amp/preamp sections of the two, I didn't hear a significan... | |

As great as I though my dedicated streaming system was performing, somehow, I had this eerie, nagging feeling that something was still missing from the music. To my ears, I just wasn’t hearing quite the same level of that dreamy inner detail in th... | |
| Amp — Leave on or turn off I also like to power down all my components at the end of the day, just before bedtime. Well, not exactly. All my components are plugged into a power conditioner, so when I turn them off, they are actually still on, but in stand-by mode, which p... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream Mk2 DAC - How good is it vs Mk1? Weiss, Bricasti? My very first high end stand alone DAC was a PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC. The PC Audio DAC sounded fine, but I eventually switched to an Ayre Acoustics QX-5 Twenty DAC, which sounded more appealing to my ears. | |
| Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k Buy a pre-owned Ayre Acoustics QX-5 Twenty streaming DAC!!! I compared mine to much higher priced DACs and came home with the Ayre. Brilliant piece!!! | |
