| 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... | |
| Taking Power Conditioning to the Max? You want clean power, consider going off the grid. https://stromtank.com/s5000/ | |
| 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 ... | |
| Is a preamp needed ??? What amps you’re using....tube or SS. Depending on rest of your system, you may be alright with Lumin T2. What other digital sources you’re referring to? T2 will only allow you hear music stored on a external HDD. It does not have any analog inpu... | |
| Myth or Magic? I’ve heard it at AXPONA, sounded great and appears to be a well thought out design. It was pretty cool to look at the floating platter and thankfully not whole lot of bling. I say this TT could be a game changer if backed by solid distribution and... | |
| What brands tend to have the worst resale value? I would say, anything insanely priced (retail) takes a biggest hit on the used market. Outside that, you can expect to get 55-60% value off the full retail on components that are still in manufacturer lineup. Cables are the worst...they de-value l... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... I love the review and video, Steve G. is a class-act; calm and collected. Unlike some reviewers on YouTube, who can’t seem to keep their emotions in check 🤪Ares is an incredible value for anyone considering a solid performer under $1K. | |
| Qobuz Users Update? @junzhang10,As I reported earlier, I’ve experienced zero dropouts with Qobuz or Tidal from my cellular service (Verizon). If you’re experiencing drop outs that’s probably due to limited bandwidth or coverage of your cellular provider. It wouldn’t ... | |
| Qobuz Users Update? IMO, MQA is no longer relevant. You can now stream high resolution files from Qobuz and that’s pretty much ends any ongoing debate about MQA merits. I am glad that we now have a choice and one doesn’t need to pursue or depend on MQA compatible har... | |
| Selling Advice If you don’t want to hassle with individual sale and shipping, I recommend Craigslist. Advertise as a package deal and stick with Cash and Carry terms. | |
| The Absolute Sound "review" of USB cable reads suspiciously like a press releaste “Until you get to hear any product it’s best to treat all reviews as mere infomercials”Well said, @cd318. Same goes for full page advertisements in TAS and Stereophile. | |
| Has anybody tried Qobuz Streaming service? I am enjoying Qobuz as well and would like to share some search tips. You can filter your search by Hi-Res, new releases, and more. When you type your search, include the following hashtags in the search bar to filter your results, - #HiRes to fi... | |
| Best DAC to go with Aurender N100H? With above set of components, I would suggest to go separate route and get a DAC that complements Primaluna Integrated. Aurender N100H or N100C would provide a solid foundation for streaming tunes off Tidal or Qobuz. I don’t think Chord DAC’s are ... | |
| Best DAC to go with Aurender N100H? @mabonn,Aurender also makes one box streamer and a DAC, A10 and A100. Please visit their site to and decide for yourself which one of these best suits your need. They both are great choices under $5500 and also eliminates the need for a preamp. ... |
