| Is anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest? @dr-john,Sorry, I don’t remember what cables they were using at the show. Simaudio components are very neutral and transparent, I would try couple of cables that doesn’t ‘color’ the sound. May I recommend Audience Au24 SE or Acrolink 7N-D7000 AES/... | |

| Innuos Statement Review @mmeeks100,I am not trying to debate, just stating that most people are happy with 16bit/44.1kHz or even low resolution (Spotify) streaming. I just dumped Tidal in favor of Qobuz and also own few DSD files (purchased prior to Qobuz launch) and lar... | |
| Innuos Statement Review @audiotroy,“The reality is that more digital inputs create the possibility of more noise flowing into the product” - Please STOP peddling the BS. Please tell us how many DAC’s currently have Ethernet (i2s) digital input? The point I was trying to ... | |
| Innuos Statement Review @ricred1, You make an excellent point. I would like to add, limiting Innuos Statement to USB output only was quite disappointing. No SPDIF or AES/EBU output on a flagship player.....don’t know what they were thinking. For this reason alone, I will... | |
| What brands tend to have the worst resale value? How about uber-expensive Focal Stella Utopia, asking price...$37K (retail - $98k)....ouch!!!! | |
| Retail ricing on Entreq grounding system @maril555,Whoever you are buying from, make sure he sells you the latest ‘Infinity Line Tech’ upgraded ground boxes and cables. Most of the US retailer are still trying to offload ‘old’ incentory and have not posted pictures of the latest Infinity... | |
| Why so many Berkeley DACs for sale right now? Nothing unusual here, some folks like to have the latest version. As soon as the newer version announced, they try to dump the older version. Even with the upgrade path, the ‘upgraded’ version has no advantage in resale value, not to mention the 2... | |
| Streamer choices agree with easy; unless you step up to Tidal or Qobuz streaming, you will be throwing away money on a new server. | |
| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? Yes I agree, ARC took their sweet time to get USB right. I had to wait 2 years for this upgrade. I don’t think McIntosh is doing very well with their reference D1100.I believe both McIntosh and ARC are very much analog at core. Their digital compo... | |
| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? @ghasley,In regards to USB implementation, ARC have made a giant leap forward with their latest PCB914 board. My ARC DAC9 recently came back from ARC with this new board and I am happy to report that it’s pretty darn sounding digital to analog con... | |

| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? I dig Harley’s, could see myself with a C2600 but a Rolex...no way!!!! They are just ugly 😊 | |
| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? I once auditioned the C1100 and MC601 in my home. The excitement of owing a cool looking MAC gear quickly wore off by its lifeless sound. Like @akg_ca said, they failed to stir my senses or soul. IMHO, McIntosh needs to overhaul their solid state ... |
