| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one You're correct don't need it with QX-5. It's something I'm considering if going with just a DAC. I love the idea of a bridge where data can be accessed if on the network. This is exciting times with so many options. | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one Another option is the new DCS Network Bridge.I spoke with Berkeley and they're also working on a network bridge. It's not integrated in their DACs but a standalone unit due to Ethernet noise. Exciting times with so many options. | |
| Adcom 555 SE owners .. Any reviews? Other than China does not play by the same rules and are primary violators of all things environmental and fair wages.But hey, "sundown on the union"! -Robert Zimmermann This has nothing to do with some very good products are coming out of China. | |
| Adcom 555 SE owners .. Any reviews? Can't we put the China "poor quality" thing to bed? There are so many extremely well made Chinese audio products (Hegel, Jolida, Cambridge, Primaluna, Vincent, outsourced high end speaker boxes, on and on) out there now that it's fairly ridiculo... | |
| Your first component that was "special" A Krell KSA100s. I was shopping for my 1st tube pre and Krell was sitting quietly in the corner. Only read about Krells in magazines and never heard one so ask dealer to hook it up. WOW!!! My brother and I were mesmerized. We spent the whol... | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one @ctsooner What's your server / streamer? If I go with QX-5, consider running minimServer in a QNAP or Synology NAS. | |
| Lampizator Atlantic? The answer to my questions is analog and yes.Local dealer is waiting delivery on an Atlantic and has a GG for comparison. He's using a Mojo music server so should be interesting. | |
| Lampizator Atlantic? Is the volume control in digital or analog domain?Is the architecture (R2R ...) the same between SE and Balanced EXCEPT balanced is 2X SE? | |
| Viva, no longer a fan charles1dad, He already bought the amp, dac and speakers from Goodwin High End. He was interested in a VAC pre and just happens I have one and a Hegel H30. A local dealer introduced him to me and after a year+ demoing different pre, he final... | |
| Viva, no longer a fan charles1dad,This guy has a very healthy budget building his 1 system. He ended up with Hegel H30, VAC SigMKIIa SE, Rockport Avior, Berkeley Reference DAC ... 😊. | |
| Viva, no longer a fan When I requested information in changing 300B to 2A3 tube, for a non-audiophile friend, in an used Viva Linea XP preamp power supply, Bob Clarke at Profundo replied with cost and details. As far as I know, there's no problems getting an used... | |
| New dedicated line & outlets sound worse, not better- HELP! jea482,152 posts09-28-2016 12:21amI would suggest trying a Synergistic Research Black A/C wall outlet with your new circuit.The outlet looks like it is made by Pass & Seymour.http://www.lowes.com/pd/Pass-Seymour-Legrand-20-Amp-125-Volt-Black... | |
| Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47? I was told by someone in the industry that I trust, Maestro is just a cryo'd hospital grade outlet. Eventually I replaced all my Maestro outlets with Furutech GTX-D(R) and it was NO contest. Furutech is much much superior. | |
| Pre-amp better than Sonic Frontiers I thought this was clear but I am interested in a different two channel pre-amp with better sound quality than a Sonic Frontiers Line One. I do not want to upgrade it. Smart move! I've had many SF pre and amps ... last was Line 3SE+ and Powe... | |
| Looking for a solid state preamp for Krell fpb 250m monoblocks All I've used are tube preamps with all my Krell amps over the years, starting with KSA100s and never a problem. The old Krells are a bit bright and hard so always prefer some tubes in the chain.In your budget, checkout an used ModWright LS 3... |
