| New Product - Schiit Byggy DAC Details @hgeifman good info. I agree particularly with your emphasis on the analog part. IMO, that goes for the ENTIRE chain, most dramatically for the speakers and the room at the end of the chain. My point was "expressed assumption that ""proprietary... | |
| New Product - Schiit Byggy DAC Details One thing that strikes me as absurd is the expressed assumption that "proprietary", "custom-designed" etc. is 'better'. If so, I can make you a super dooper proprietary custom-designed, own math-model based thingy for $5 plus shipping. How du... | |
| Battle of the affordables I LOVED my B&W Nautilus 804, and for $2k used, GREAT buy. Hate 'sharp' highs, no issue with mine. Replaced with smaller 2 way, which is at mechanical limits in my very large (volume) room, even with sub crossed at 120 Hz. Current favorite ... | |
| Battle of the affordables Kef: would love to try them in my room, but have been warned they cannot produce the SPL in my GIGANTIC (volume 50 x50 x20 or so) room even so I am only concerned with 80 Hz and above (have great sub to handle the rest). | |
| b & w 804 s Turn receiver to another source, or even FM radio or TV. See if speakers cut out. | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass My Nautilus 804 with one 6.5 midrange and two 6.5 in woofers had no issues. Assuming that cutting the low bass off would reduced the required bass driver size/area and cabinet volume. I would like to see two 6.5 inch low/mid in a 2 way setup, D'... | |
| How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC @johnnokathi Nope, still sitting there were I parked it. Not connected. Too many other projects ahead of the comparison (Schiit 3 vs M1). | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @bgross will read up, but looks like very rare (often =price) from europe: https://www.soundstagenetwork.com/revequip/equation_7.htm | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @yoyoyaya Price has really nothing to do with physics. Example: the Nautilus 804 (ok, those where $2.5k) as well as the $0.3k Infinity RS625 (example) had no issue delivering the desired SPL in my large room, with the crossover set at 50 Hz. Or ... | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! @erik_squires talking about 'air' and 'enlarged soundstage' with respect to subwoofers: "It's not about how many subs but about the sub to main speaker integration": how would you go about better 'intergration'? | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! Another benefit of using a subwoofer amp (often done as 'plate amps'), and the very first reason I used mine (aside from beying ICE design, well working/sounding, powerful): The amp came with adjustable crossover frequency and volume control (unli... | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass Wharfedale EVO4.3 or 4.4 3 way (large 2" dome mid, AMT tweeter. 2x 5" low/mid (2x 6.5 for 4.4) https://images.crutchfieldonline.com/ImageHandler/trim/750/457/products/2019/36/336/g336EVO43WN-F.jpg | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass Dali Oberon 5 or 7 decent candidates? looks like 2 way, with 2x 5 (5.25) or 2x 7 low/mid? | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? No, it not possible. If you don't spend at least $100k for a DAC, there is always a chance someone else may waste more money than you on a DAC, and therefore believes his is better than yours. Plus, you already spent $10k for a few feet of cable... | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! Its the 2nd post I read today that mentions "enlarged soundstage" and "air" in the context of woofer/subwoofer ("2 subs provide enlarge soundstage and more air"). I never brought the low frequencies in context with 'air' and 'soundstage'. Shou... |
