| Does the Transport make a significant difference I had a PS Audio PWDMKII and it's an excellent DAC. I found the bridge was the best digital input. This was confirmed by several reviews on the PS Audio Direct Stream. The problem is bridge stability requiring frequent power restarts/recycles.Volu... | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar 11-20-14: CtsoonerOn topic, I don't understand why some of you come across as hoping that B&M stores go away.Why can't there be all options? In the end, that's the best thing for everyone.11-20-14: DillLook at it this way, if all the B&M s... | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar Well said David12 except I don't feel much lose with B&M demised. Positives definitely outweighs the negatives to ME. | |
| Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room The one thing about Vandersteen that most people don't get, even some of the people who own them, is how transparent they are. Don't trust your ears? All you Vandersteen owners GOT that?But you shouldn't take my word on something like this.OK. | |
| Fuses that matter. A fuse in the wrong direction should sound noticeably harsher and more sour.In my VAC SigMKIIa pre, wrong direction sounds similar to out of phase and not harsh. Image was fat, rounded and limited extension in both directions. | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar Too many folks on here and who buy from the net are never happy and keep buying and selling at either big or small loses. To me, that's a waste of time and money.....but that's just me.To ME, mistakes are an important ingredient in gaining valuabl... | |

| MW Sony HAP-Z1ES Knightfi, how long did you play the Sony in your system before you sent it in to Modwright for the mod? How much better is the mod over the stock unit?I heard stock unit in a friends system many times. Like most stock Sony, sound is detail, high r... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 11-08-14: McondonWell, if the sound of the PS Audio Bridge is representative of what Ethernet has to offer, count me out. I thought the Bridge, which streamed audio via an Ethernet connection, sounded awful.I had a PS PWDMKII w/bridge and it sound... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD knghifi - Isn't the storage of the data in a buffer after de-packetization in the device sufficient?Yes. Not familiar with your design. Just curious, how big is the buffer or how much do you cache in time domain? | |
| Quality system, make poor recordings sound better? 11-07-14: Rodman99999The Dreamboat Annie masters were excellent. Nautilus did what I think was the best pressing of that album. Still my go-to for demoing Rock bass resolution(the synth & drum/Fender bass doubling on Magic Man)How about the CD... | |
| Quality system, make poor recordings sound better? 11-07-14: WhartKnight- Dreamboat Annie on Mushroom records, which I think is a KenDun master is actually a great sounding record. I have most Heart but no Dreamboat Annie :-) There are hi-res releases now so quality has improved?? Concerts in Blu_... | |
