| Is My 7 Year Old Aires G1 Still Relevant? Thank you everyone. I'm coming to the conclusion that my G1 feeding my Harmony DAC is probably not going to be improved upon dramatically unless I enter the +$10K arena (list price of course) for an "All in One" unit like the Bartok (used), or the... | |
| Bass management--high/low pass filtering I do have a Marchand XM66 that splits a 24db/oct. high and low at any selected frequency, but I'm only using it for the low pass while the mains get full range signal. | |
| Bass management--high/low pass filtering I'm not sure about my above question, and was hoping for some responses. Personally I think it's about a 50/50, but others more knowledgeable may have a better informed opinion. | |
| Bass management--high/low pass filtering Is it worth it to send the signal through another box of electronic junk just to eliminate frequencies below 80Hz? I'm not sure myself, so I am asking in earnest, not sarcastically. My main drivers (8") are running full range with no crossover at ... | |
| ??? WHY WHY WHY ??? Class A vs Everything Else WTF?? where did that come from? | |
| ??? WHY WHY WHY ??? Class A vs Everything Else You can thank the designer, not the class of amplifier. People think Class A is the best like it's a report card. An A is better than B, and don't get me started on Class D. That's barely passing. I think of Class A similar to driving my car with ... | |
| Replace my Auraliti Any of the Oppo players will read files off your hard drive and either use the internal DAC, or output SPDIF to some other DAC. The only drawback is you need a TV to view the files on the hard drive, but you may like that way better than an iPad o... | |
| Remote volume out on TAD-150 preamp..options? So if it's only the remote that doesn't work then place a Placette Remote Volume after it. They're around $400 used and when you eventually change pre-amps you can sell the Placette for almost what you paid. | |
| After Auraliti... my next file server? About 8 years ago I got an Auralic Aires G1. It has been working great, but recently I'm thinking of moving to an Auralic Altair G2.2 | |
| Anyone have a Roon Nucleus One? Your experience positive or negative? Would you say that having the Rose 130 after the Nucleus One improves the sound, or is that just the way it all worked out? I really like that Rose 130, but if the Nucleus One can sound similar going to my DAC, I may have to get over the beautiful... | |
| Anyone have a Roon Nucleus One? Your experience positive or negative? Since the RS 130 has no DAC, isn't it just something stuck in between that has no use. I am new to the thought of Roon, but wouldn't the Nucleus One simply connect to a DAC? what does the RS 130 do for your setup? Is the Nucleus One just a cheap s... | |
| Esoteric N 05 xd How are you liking the N-05XD now that it's been a few days running? I am considering one, but it's the top end of my budget, even used. | |
| McIntosh C8 (new) vs C26/2700 (used) I have the MA352 Integrated amp that I believe has the same pre-amp as the C8. I love it! While the looks are great, it was the sound that made it a keeper. I don't use the equalizer on the MA352 so it is a closer comparison to the C8. | |
| I am sad Well, at least the OP found something to do while his system was down. | |
| Tampa Audio Expo 2025 So, I was really impressed at the YG Acoustics room with them being powered by the biggest 300B amps I have ever seen. Those 4 Western Electric amps were special, and the speakers outstanding. |
