| More money toward better speakers or a better DAC? “Are we all ‘cheaping’ out by not spending more for a better dac”I say pick the best DAC you can afford. IMO, the quality of the DAC is directly related to how important is digital streaming / playback is to you so choose wisely :-) | |
| yet another tube preamp recommendation thread @avanti1960,Very nice room and audio system. If you want end game tube preamp and your budget allows, look for Shindo Labs Aurieges or Monbrison. Once you hear these preamps, only then you will realize what you have been missing in the competition. | |
| New High REZ classical streaming service don_c55,The service became available in US as of Aug 2018. The SQ is on par with Qobuz. I do find Primephonic’s newsletter very helpful in exploring albums (that are new to me) which spotlights the new releases and Editor’s choice. Another service... | |
| Msb dacs why not alot of postings nyaudio98, Good call. The proof is in the listening. In the end what really matters is your ears. Please post your feedback afterwards.And to the measurement crowd; frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn :-) | |
| Msb dacs why not alot of postings @thyname,One thing I really appreciate about MSB DAC’s is their modular approach. Maybe someday I get an opportunity to audition a MSB DAC in my system :-) | |
| Msb dacs why not alot of postings @djones51,The argument or one’s opinion of what is ‘better’ is quite subjective and open to a endless debate, IMHO. | |
| Amp for B&W 805 D3 “I mainly like the warm and detailed sound.”I highly recommend Accuphase Integrated E-650. You can pick up a used one for under $9K. | |

| External DAC? “I don’t understand why people don’t think the streamer matters and that adding a marginally better DAC to a $500 streamer/DAC is going to substantially improve sound quality.”+1, @big_greg. Go for a better DAC now and later upgrade the streamer. ... | |
| What power conditioner I would recommend a in-home audition of gigawatt. The overall buzz is positive but only by listening in your system would yield the ultimate test of it’s effectiveness and synergy. Whatever you do, please don’t fall for band-aid fixes on power cor... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world @mahgister,Why not start a thread with a detailed explanation of your three infamous embeddings? I think it’s long overdue :-) | |
| Roon Certification News, Share @thyname, thank you for restoring the order and calming the masses 😂 | |
| AXPONA 2020 - Cancelled AXPONA is now re-scheduled to Aug 27-29, 2021. | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world I agree with @mapman. IMHO, it has to with practicality which millercarbon and DBA advocates continues to overlook each time a sub discussion pops up. Before I get flamed by DBA fanboys let me add, those who can justify 4 subs in their room, DBA p... | |
| Apparently new artist don't even know what a melody is and drum machines suck “Apparently new artist don't even know what a melody is and drum machines suck”Who cares, they are too focused on showing their booties and counting millions of dollars. Their music is no more than ‘flavor of the week’. |
