| Does the 'Buck' Start with the DAC? “Because the DAC is the link between the digital and analog portions”. +1, thyname. I went through fair share of DAC’s in my pursuit for soul stirring digital front end. The EMM DA2 has ended my quest for a SOTA digital to analog converter under $... | |
| Fear of Streaming Great feedback so far, nothing wrong with having more options. The tactile experience of LP or even CD’s cannot be replicated with Streaming but I love the opportunity to explore new and old tunes, all at your fingertips. | |
| SACD or not “I highly recommend the Esoteric models - the K-01xs and the new K1X”LOL....the OP’s budget is <$1500 😉 | |
| SACD or not schmitty1,Are you planning to buy SACD’s? If the answer is yes, then you should look into a Marantz SACD/CD player. There are few listings on Audiogon, check them out. I currently own a Marantz SA-11S2 and both SACD and CD playback is superlative.... | |
| Nice retro looking amp from Sweden 🇸🇪 I am too digging the appearance and its priced ‘right’. At 50 wpc, one would need fairly efficient (>92db) speakers. | |
| Options besides a computer for streaming If your transport has a streamer, then you wouldn’t need a MacBook or any additional device. I would reach out to Lampizator for setup support. | |
| Ching Cheng Power Cords I would pick Signal or Cullen PC’s over any Ching Cheng or generic brand. http://signalcable.com/magicpower.htmlhttp://www.cullencable.com | |
| Turntable mads1,Thank you for the recommendation. They have been on my radar since I visited their booth at AXPONA 2019. Pretty good stuff. | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Frank, So no sign of jay23.....well, I am not surprised at all. Grab a glass of wine and listen to Harlem Nocturne by Illinois Jacquet....i bet your system is just as magical as this essential Jacquet 😊 | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? “this thread is clearly just your excuse to be high and mighty and diss other audiophiles.”prof, you nailed it 😉 | |
| Qobuz No issues with Qobuz streaming on my Aurender server or my iPhone. I listened to Qobuz over Bluetooth in my truck, no drops. The Qobuz app is well laid out and makes it a breeze to find the music. | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? “I would propose a simple rule for posters on this forum. If you have not auditioned a particular class of gear (i.e. power cables, cable elevators) or a particular piece of gear (amp, speakers, whatever) then you shouldn't have an opinion on how ... | |
| Spotify sound inprovement. @coach59, Qobuz has come a long way since it’s launch in US last November. Their catalog was nowhere near Spotify or Tidal at the time of launch but that’s the not the case anymore. I listened to primarily Jazz / Classical and Qobuz now has all of... | |
| Does anyone know if Bluesound Node 2i Streamer/Dac is being updated soon. “I think it’s one of the best bargains“. I agree. Anyone serious about streaming, node 2i is a way to go under $1K price point. | |
| Qobuz Special Offer I used to have Tidal (4 plus years), after comparing the services for 6 months I’ve dropped Tidal. My decision to keep Qobuz was based on the sound quality and catalog in 24bit/192kHz. Qobuz customer service is excellent, they have been expanding ... |
