| EMM LABS DV2 The DAC in DV2 is outstanding. I got my DA2 paired with Aurender N10 and couldn’t be any happier. If you plan to keep DV2 then ask your dealer to loan you NS1...this pairing will have one distinct advantage that no other streamer will offer. The N... | |
| Very basic subwoofer question For 2-ch audio, a pair of subs is very much capable of achieving high quality bass....I was able to do so with a pair of REL’s. | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? Why would anyone even consider a format with no manufacturing support and almost non-existent media content? And who in their right mind, would pay for this 😳https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa12f7-technics-rs-10a02-reel-to-reel-r-b-series-reco... | |
| power cord directionality I guess it’s safe to assume fancy cable makers like Synergistic Research and many others are adhering to pre-determined directionality of the wires. | |
| power cord directionality No harm per se but umbilical cord with male - female connectors can only be plugged in one direction. Now my mono amps with external power supply came with umbilical cords with same male speakon connectors on both ends, like the one below with no ... | |
| Magico vs the world +1, @kingbarbuda. Anyone considering Magico’s, should also give a listen to Audio Solutions speakers. I have heard both Virtuoso and Figaro and found them to be very musical and a better buy. They were paired with Vitus CD Player and Integrated.I ... | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport “Audio streaming. It’s a good place to find new music, or provide background, other than that? Meh. I prefer the simplicity of physical media,”“the only thing I’m missing is a NAS to replace my laptop as the source for ripped cds. And an MQA compa... | |
| What 4 subwoofers to buy? elate,Couple of things, what are your room dimensions and budget? Personally I don’t like to clutter my room with a sub in every corner. So I end up going with pair of mid-level subs from REL. For my room (15’D x 30’W x 8’H), the pair of REL’s (50... | |
| DCS and Aurender customer service No experience with DCS but Aurender customer service is top notch. During 5 plus years of ownership, nothing but positive interactions. | |
| Music Server vs PC confused “I have decided to try a Lumin U1 mini”Great choice, post your feedback once you’re settled with U1. | |
| Music Server vs PC confused Good advise from @tomcy6 and @auxinput. If you’re not opposed to buying used, look for Aurender N100H on used market around $1500. Before stepping up to N10, I spent some time with N100 and it is one of the best sounding server under $3K. In addit... | |
| Can I use a Bluesound Node 2i as a Preamp? andyboom,As others have pointed out, Node 2i will not sound its best until you add an outboard DAC or use it with CXA80 integrated. Before you buy a new amp, I suggest you try a good external DAC with a volume control. The Ayer Codex DAC should fi... | |
| best power conditioners under 4k OP,Look into QRT products from Nordost, start with QB8. With their modular approach, you can start building SOTA AC distribution for your audio system. | |
| Gaining listening experience without spending money “how does one gain listening experience without blindly buying and trying”@otterbein,I would suggest join a local audiophile club or attend audio shows. The two biggest audio shows in NA (assuming you’re in America) are AXPONA and RMAF. Not sure i... | |
