| Schitt Yggdrasil More is Better YYZ, I'm one of the few that have owned a Yiggy MIL for about 1 year. I was able to compare it to the Bryston 3 and the Benchmark 3B DACs. I preferred the Yiggy, but have since replace it with a OKTO DAC8 Stereo that I like even more. | |
| Denafrips Iris12th - signal out to Ares 12th-1 I think that's how they fixed the Internet on South Park. | |
| resonance at 500 Hz using headphones - maybe need a different DAC? Have you tried this test on a real piano? Possibly you are experiencing a temporary sensitivity in that range. This happened to me and it soon went away. | |

| Shopping for a DAC at AXPONA One other not on your list is the T+A DAC200. It might be on the lower end of your budget, but don't miss out on considering it. | |
| Importance of a DAC's elements @ danager The Auralic streamers have the Amazon Music connections built into their Lightning software. I use it all the time. | |
| Limiting a full range driver Thank you for the recent posts, but deeper in this thread I did say that I am using subs. They are Velodyne DD15's that both broke (electronics problems) so I ran drivers to banana plugs that I installed on the plate amps. Now I use a stereo Crown... | |
| Limiting a full range driver Wow, some very interesting posts here. Some are the opposite of others, but I want to thank everyone for their thoughtful and honest opinions. As is usually the case, I will have to try it to find out. Well, at least I have a lot of tinkering to l... | |
| Limiting a full range driver I plan on getting the UMIK-2 (the better one) because the miniDSP also has Dirac that will need measurements. I know the 8" can handle the lows, but does that prohibit the midrange from sounding its best? | |
| Limiting a full range driver I am considering a miniDSP SHD Studio, all digital with no converting to analog, and then sending out to 2 DACs (OKTO DAC 8 to main speakers / Schiit Modius to my 2 15" passive subs). Amplifiers are Benchmark AHB2 for mains and a Crown Class D (75... | |
| Don’t look for perfection. I thought you throw them out? | |
| Throw it out! When I was young and listened to mostly rock, I would have thrown out any jazz music, today I would do the opposite. Thankfully I have kept everything in case of another "polar inversion". | |
| NAD M66 Digital Preamp OK thanks. | |
| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble If you EQ your system flat to 20KHz with pink noise you will likely blow your tweeters. Pink noise has a natural roll off as the frequencies get higher. | |
| who makes custom speakon speaker cables for the Benchmark AHB2? Benchmark will probably make them for you. They are very nice up there. |
