| newbie DAC question Without the Valhalla 2 cords feeding my Sutherlands, the perfection I spoke of earlier began to come apart. The effect produced one of those puzzling "Did I hook something up wrong?" moments. Pachelbel's Canon in D was once again the disjointed mi... | |
| newbie DAC question @mesch there is absolutely nothing wrong with my amp! In fact, I LOVE my Music Hall. I think I was too influenced by the likes of Stereophile, Steve Guttenberg, etc the last couple of years as I've gotten more heavily into audio. Maybe DACs, inter... | |
| newbie DAC question @coli I believe you - in fact, I've become a tad disillusioned with the "audiophile-grade" moniker that gets tossed around by "professionals". Mainly because I've been testing out different aspects of my setups and have consistently been surprised... | |
| newbie DAC question @coli I'll be honest, at the price range I'm working with, I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a receiver, integrated amp, or amp/preamp stack. I like the *idea* of a simple integrated amp the most, but I think most people w... | |
| newbie DAC question @erik_squires actually I did a decent amount of direct comparisons between CD and CA quality. My overall impression is that, no, the CA does not sport same-as-cd quality. Not really a shocker for $35! However - the quality is remarkably close. On ... | |
| Amp's Line-Out to Subwoofer? I sent Music Hall an email and we'll see what they say. This got a lot more confusing than I thought it would... thanks again for all the help! | |
| Amp's Line-Out to Subwoofer? Thank you, all, for getting back so quickly and helpfully! I will definitely be contacting Music Hall to see if this is a fixed or variable line out (does anyone know why the former would be of any use to someone?). If it's variable, it'll be time... | |
| newbie DAC question @edincleve I am so sorry I didn't see this earlier. I have been playing my entire (small) CD collection through it for a while now, as well as a Chromecast Audio streaming Spotify's premium "extreme quality". I did notice a decent difference with ... | |
| newbie DAC question So I bought a Blue Jeans Cable Belden 1694A Coax, RCA terminated at both ends. I've heard some people say that coax is inferior to optical. Thoughts? Or is it one of those things that's endlessly debated with no concrete conclusion? | |
| newbie DAC question @yage thanks for the recommendation! I just bought a coax from Blue Jeans and an open box Musical Fidelity V90Dac so we'll see if I can see an improvement | |
| newbie DAC question @georgelofi fantastic description, thank you for taking the time to explain. I'm leaning towards a B-stock Bifrost multibit now :) | |
| Upgrading an old digital audio system to bluetooth wireless? If you're looking only to bring Bluetooth connectivity to your current system, something like this would work, and it's well rated on Amazon too: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IQBSW28/ref=pd_aw_sim_147_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41UR6fEoZTL&dpSrc=.... | |
| newbie DAC question @georgelofi that's good to know, thanks! What makes the multibit better than the standard one? Is that the same as the "analog upgrade" I keep reading about? | |
| newbie DAC question @mesch that's a great idea. And I will most certainly ask them about the potential improvement. Do you have any coax cable recommendations? I've been eying up Blue Jeans Cables tentatively.Thanks! | |
| newbie DAC question And I apologize for any ignorance/confusion relating to this topic, DAC's are very far out of my comfort zone... |
