| Changes in DAC Presentation - Need Advice Did you just leave it on or play music through it for 10 days? I made the same mistake. I left it on but had no signal running through it. Sound was all over the place. Ran it in for two weeks and things stabilized much better. | |
| amplifier longevity Because I am a compulsive spender I tend not to keep equipment as long as I should. That being said the oldest amp I owned was a set of Manley Neo Classic 250s. I bought them used when they were 7 years old. I traded them in for a set of Class... | |
| AirBlade Speaker - wow https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=175599.0 Jim Salk at Salk Sound made an active speaker using these Arya products and Purifi woofers. The overall sound was apparently excellent but very cost prohibitive. You can read the posted threa... | |
| New Amp Search- MBL. Spectron. Pass ?? I am not familiar with the MBL so I can not give you any advice on that particular amplification. I listen to similar types of music and can say that the Pass X series satisfies me. I started with the XA series but found it to be a little too wa... | |
| More expensive = better? The problem with directly correlating sound quality to cost is the elimination of subjective perception. If a person hates the taste of steak for example, it's not going to matter if it was a 10 dollar steak or a 100 dollar steak. They will like... | |
| Time Delay on Denafrips Ares ii ? I just purchased a Terminator II and had this same concern. I emailed Alvin and he explained that the Terminator II uses an adaptive buffer to reclock the incoming signal. This helps reject jitter from poor sources. This buffer can cause variabl... | |
| Does anybody make... I think the Pass Labs XP-32 can do what you want. In its normal config each channel has two outputs. One has the ability to be adjusted via a smaller gain knob on the front of the chassis. You can order additional units to stack and contro... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... As a follow-up to my previous post, the Terminator II does indeed improve dramatically during break-in. After having left it playing for a week, the sound is completely different in my system for the better! | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... Has anyone experienced a tumultuous break-in process? I purchased a Denafrips Terminator II last month. I plugged it in and the first time listening to it I was very encouraged by the sound. What I should have done is hooked everything u... | |
| The response for REL regarding subwoofers I think there is a limit to how much of a spread changing the gain on the subwoofer amp can manage. The average dynamic speaker is sitting between 87-95 DB efficiency. The Klipschorn is 105! At half a watt the KH is putting out 102DBs! The a... | |
| Best place to purchase a new Denafrips Pontus II Vinshine 100 percent. Just bought a Terminator 2 from Alvin. Top-tier service. | |
| Lampizator USB input I had a Lampizator Lite 7 years ago. IME the quality of the transport mattered more than input. I felt the DAC was tremendously improved by reclocking. I ended up using a Mutec into the SPDIF while I had it. I think out of the Lumin the US... | |
| If not Martin Logan 13a's... then what? +1. I love my Soundlab speakers. The company is small, but their product is excellent. Have had them for almost 3 years without any issues. | |
| My New Magnepan 1.7i's sound dull and lifeless on the top end...why? I would think there is a problem with the speakers. 9 DB down in the highs? If the LRS sounds good on the same equipment in the same room, something wrong with the 1.7s. | |
| Less than satisfying sound with non-audiophile recordings I would address set-up first and foremost. What type of environment are those speakers in?Do you have any room treatment? Have you played with positioning? Singers getting drowned out by instruments sounds like potential massive bass peaks wreakin... |
