| From separate streamer and DAC to al-in-one suggestion Thanks @david_ten I've always loved t+a's designs, and would love the MP2000, but about double my budget :) | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror Any update @audio123 ? | |
| Duelund DCA16GA @luisma31 I recently installed Duelund speaker cables on my Omega Alnico full range speakers. I did dual 16ga to each leg. So 4 total “dual 16ga” tinned copper Duelund cables. I’ve been super impressed with them even after 20hrs. Letting them sett... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? What do you consider low power?I’d probably want at least 4wpc with 94db speakers especially if they have more than one driver. I’m using Omega Super 6 with a single Alnico driver rated at 96db and works marvelously with 1.5wpc Oliver Sayes 45 bas... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror @facten " If you don’t need the extras the AM has " - I’m referring to the AES & i2s digital inputs, the XLR balanced outputs, and the isoacoustics gaia feet | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror Well let me see how best to describe this comparison...Fully modded MHDT Orchid (Grannyring’s personal DAC with more upgrades than normal) with WE396 tube and HiFi Tuning black/copper fuse. vs Audio Mirror Tubadour III SE with SR Blue fuse. Both u... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? I agree with @wolf_garcia ive had and experienced several solid state amps in the $2k-$5k range and none of them came close to sounding like my Line Magnetic 518 SET. Believe me I’ve tried to go solid state but there’s always something missing vs ... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror @audio123 I should have it complete by Wednesday. I got the SR fuse in the AM on Friday and been playing it nonstop. Plan on switching back to orchid Wednesday to make my final comparison. Work has been crazy busy for me, opposite of a lot of folk... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror @musichead great to hear the Signature cable was an obvious upgrade! | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror @vassils thanks for the great response. I’m using a Lumin U1 Mini as network transport so I have everything but i2s. And my cd transport is Audiolab 6000CDT. I’m starting to compare the USB vs AES. And found out the usb section is an amanero combo... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror Has anyone compared the different inputs on the AM? USB vs AES or Coax? | |
| Stand-mount speaker/monitor recommendation @dotchaos what did you end up with it?i am using a LM 518ia with Omega Super 6 Alnico Towers. Great combination. I’ve also had Harbeth C7’s with the 518ia. Enjoyable but very different than Omega. The Super Alnico can play more genres of music bet... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror @facten the orchid was bills personal DAC and was told it should have 200+ hours on it. The AM I’m trying to ask the original owner if he can give me a guesstimate but originally said “it’s fully broke in”. I’ve heard the AM is good at around 300h... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror @kbuzz you should definitely add the MHDT Orchid stock or modded —————-So I got my AMT 3 SE today.... let it play most of the day without any serious listening. Next changed around my configuration so I could have both the AM & Orchid connecte... | |
| Lumin and roon @smodtactical I I did that. Was running Roon core on Mac mini to ultraRendu as Roon endpoint. I switched to a Lumin u1 mini. Cool thing about the Lumin is you can use it as a stand-alone unit or as a Roon endpoint. The lumin gave me Better sound q... |
