| Class D is just Dandy! @guidocorona, I believe Bel Canto's REF600M is based on Hypex’s NC500 OEM module and SMPS1200 power supply. They do not use the NC1200 Hypex module. I am hoping to try the 600's in next couple of weeks. It would be interesting to see how these m... | |
| Cambridge Audio Azur 851N @tomaswv, Can you stream Tidal Hi-Fi on 851N? I know the streamer has a built-in support for Spotify. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @jrunr, I don’t have any direct experience with 7B’s but I was in similar situation as you. I own a pair of B&W 800’s and they are quite power hungry. After sticking with Class A/B amps for couple of years I begin experimenting with Class D am... | |
| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? I owned the stock SONOS connect and did not bother to try any mods since I upgraded to Aurender N100H. I am not sure W4S / SONOS upgrade worthwhile unless you're able to take advantage of high resolution MQA albums now available through Tidal. La... | |
| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? @joshelston, As far setup goes, I started off with SONOS connect paired to Krell processor, then Aurender N100H / Modwright Elyse DAC. And now, Aurender N10 with Audio Research DAC9. SONOS connect is a very versatile player and like others say, ... | |
| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? +1 for Aurender. | |
| Axpona Shout Outs MBL room on lower level was the best, IMO. The $75K speakers were mind blowing. Wish I can afford them :-)So many other rooms had good affordable setups. I also liked Avant-garde and Canton speakers. Great show overall, enjoyed my time. | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? Audio Research VT-80, rare combination of pure musical bliss and pleasing aesthetics. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! As I read more and more about Class D amps, one thing stood out to me is the power supply. There are quite a few Class D amps out there that are being put together with DIY kits from Hypex. No doubt that these amps with DIY kits does a good 'job' ... | |
| Audio Research - DAC9 Finally, DAC9 review. However, the lack of Linux support is very disappointing. The RigiSystems USB interface will not work with Linux based products from Aurender, Auralic, Sonore, SOtM, etc... None of these devices work with the RigiSystems USB... | |
| ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28? +1 @jond | |
| My Audio Research experience OP, I can understand your frustration and feel sorry for the terrible service you received. It's simply inexcusable. As other members pointed out, you should have followed ARC advise and turn the amp over to your dealer for service repairs under... | |
| KT-120 Tubes Spencer, fortunately my AR can also accept KT150's. In fact, VT-80 can accept, 6550, KT88, KT90, KT120 or KT150. I will check out Gold Lions 6H30's. | |
| Antipodes DX or Aurender N10? Another vote for N10. | |
| Spotify expected to launch umcomoressed streaming I would only switch if I am saving at least $5 over monthly subscription plus MQA streaming. Tidal already streaming MQA via its desktop app and I am looking forward to mobile app upgrade. I love Tidal HI-FI streaming and they have got all of my f... |
