Looking for a DAC that has..
Hi Motobonsai,If your dac has internal reclocker, my guess is it will get reclocked again. In terms of sonic benefit, I do not know as I haven't tried. But in 6moon synchro-mesh review, the reviewer stated the benefit is minimum with PWD MKII dac,... 
Dynaudio C1 and Pass amp
Pnmeyer, thanks for sharing. Hope you're enjoying your C2s. I'm sure they sound as good as they look. My room should be great for C2s but I can't swing it right now, plus I prefer audio gears that can be moved by one person. 
Focal Scala or Diablos with subs?
Hi Neuphonix,Please keep it posted. Looking forward to the details. :) 
Monitors that play huge
Hi all,Thanks for all the inputs. I decided to go with C1 Sigs and they have so far exceeded my expectation (sound big with "real bass"). :) At the moment, I have my sub dialed in at about 45Hz where C1s supposedly rolls off (as opposed to my prev... 
Dynaudio C1 and Pass amp
Hi Acropora,Interesting. Would you care to elaborate "some of dynamic range go away"? As far as I can tell, at my normal listening level, it is not missing much in big dynamic swings, if any. I guess the easiest way to find out is getting another ... 
Focal Scala or Diablos with subs?
Hi Neuphonix,It seems our musical taste are somewhat similar. I listen to a lot of electronics/ EDM (trance, house, etc). This maybe more like a lateral move. Have you considered Dynaudio C1 MKII/Sigs? I recently moved from Electra 1008 Be to C1 S... 
Focal Scala or Diablos with subs?
At half price for Scalas plus an option to trade Diablo in? Sounds like a no brainer. The only thing you'll have to make sure is your room is big enough to reproduce all the goodies you heard at the dealer, or else Scalas will just sound pretty cl... 
Dynaudio C1 and Pass amp
C1 Sigs have arrived. XA30.5 has absolutely no problem driving the Sigs in my 18x25 room. My normal listening level is 75-80db average SPL with peak of 85-90db at the sweet spot (I listen with lower level at night). Meter doesn't move from 11:30 p...

Thanks Dave.

Hi Pelo,Mac mini can wait. I was just laying out what I think is an incredible set of gears to bring out the true potential of 1038 Be. If you already have a PC with optical out, I'd rather buy a reclocker first to clean up the jitter first (as me... 
Paradigm studio 20 vs 60? Help please
60s are 2.5-way speakers (not 3-way), their mid-range drivers aren't relieved of their duty more than 20s. 
Paradigm studio 20 vs 60? Help please
Dynaudio 140 used, priced under $1500 here on A'gon. The refreshed model 160's MSRP is somewhere close to $3k.

Hi Pelo,If you have the budget, then go for XA60.5 (but I'm pretty sure XA30.5 is enough for your 93db 8ohm speakers). You cannot go wrong with Pass XA.5 series.No, if you have a DAC with volume control, you don't need a pre (using a pre is YMMV. ... 
Dynaudio C1 and Pass amp
Hi Rr999,Does Aleph 3 go into A/B mode after it goes out of class A? My understanding is Pass only starts doing that with their XA.5 series. This should help in dynamic swings and maybe able to explain your 100Hz roll-off? I could be wrong.Regards,

Hi Pelo,Parasound Halo A21 (250wpc into 8ohm) has plenty of power for 1038 Be. Unless you listen to music at ear-bleeding level, the amp will stay in class A most of the time. Besides, it doesn't necessarily mean going out of class A and into clas...
