| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? Great post! Without question U2 Live at Red Rocks 05, June 1983! What an amazing experience that must have been for those who were fortunate enough to attend. U2 at their primal best (IMHO) just before they truly hit the map. Then they just got to... | |
| XLR or RCA for my new DAC Thanks @scratcha! Oh it has gotten better, and God knows I've been playing the piss out of it! Thanks for the advice with the cables. I had already ordered a pair of Voodoo Essence XLR's. They seem to be working quite nicely with the DAC. I wanted... | |
| XLR or RCA for my new DAC Who'd have that you could ever use the term "nuances" in describing an Iron Maiden cd, LOL! | |
| XLR or RCA for my new DAC Just wanted to thank you all for taking the time to reply and share...@guy-incognito, thanks it's fun writing my impressions of the DAC :)Unfortunately damn work gets in the way so I'll have to be away from my new toy for the next 9 hrs or so...HO... | |
| XLR or RCA for my new DAC Still having that little boy on Christmas morning should say :)The only other time I can remember having this kind of revelation was 20 years ago when I went from B&W CDM NT to Dynaudio Audience (I'm now with Evoke)! No more tweaks for this ca... | |
| XLR or RCA for my new DAC My post was removed (maybe I overdid it on the exclamation points, LOL), but I posted an update, all I can say is I am truly speechless at what this DAC has added! Right out of the gate I immediately noticed a true audible difference! I have no me... | |
| XLR or RCA for my new DAC Even my shittier discs (my cd player is a 101 disc carousel) that obviously were not the greatest recordings have truly come "alive". Can't find a better word to describe it. Even Iron Maiden "Live After Death" has more detail, and this is definit... | |
| XLR or RCA for my new DAC @fuzztone the 1582 is an HT processor. I'm using Simaudio Moon Titan HT200 5 channel amp... | |
| XLR or RCA for my new DAC Appreciate all the replies, thank you...I know it's all so subjective but I'll draw on those here who have much more experience than I as this is my first DAC. I have always used Transparent ic's and speaker cables. Though I'm going to try Voodoo ... | |
| Need some quick expert opinions trying to decide between 3 DAC's Thank you all for responding. I'd like to keep it under $500 which is why I am looking at these 3. I listen to everything from Diana Krall to Iron Maiden. I really prefer something on the warmer detailed side with a nice wide soundstage. My speaks... | |
| Are your current amps and other gear the best you've ever had? Much as I love my Dynaudio Evokes (they've brought me much closer than the Excites did) I will always miss my Dynaudio Audience 82's. The Evoke 50's are pretty special for sure but the Audience 82's were just pure magical. Though in all fairness t... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? I would have to say B&W. I went and auditioned the CDM1NT back in the day and thought they were tremendous! I bought them on the spot. However after extended periods of listening my ears would ring (yes I must confess I do like to listen at lo... | |
| DAC for carousel cd player? Thank you @soix great advice. Kinda sucks as the Modius is out of stock right now, but worth the wait I guess. Think I'll take your advice and go that route...Thank you again for all the advice my friend, sincerely appreciated! | |
| DAC for carousel cd player? Thank you @soix and @jasonbourne52!I will have to use the toslink to connect the dac to my cd player. I have it narrowed down to the Schiit Modius and the Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100...Can't thank you all enough for your advice and recommendation... | |
| DAC for carousel cd player? Wow, great thank you so much for responding and explaining chayro!Hadn't thought about budget as I wasn't even sure if this made sense to do and if it was even possible...That said I guess I'd like to keep it under 1K if possible?Thank you again f... |
