| Do hi-end DACs offer true value or diminishing return... I jumped from a midrange DAC (about $2k) to a much more expensive one. But of course I didn’t trust myself so I asked two professional level musicians to be my judges. Took about 12 seconds for both to describe 1/4 and 1/8 notes on a bassoon th... | |
| Decware integrated Absolutely love my Decware 341.5. I’ve rolled tubes and the improvement is awesome. I do recommend that you upgrade the caps. I did and wish I had upgraded to the Vcaps. I feed the amp with the Brinkmann Nyquist DAC. Really go well together. ... | |
| Need help choosing a new DAC Way too many choices. Just pull the trigger and get one. Then like the rest of us, put it up for sale and move up the food chain. Do it once or twice, and your significant other will think you are hooked on fentanyl. Trust me on this: I’m now... | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? I use to listen to my wife but Dekay’s wife’s complaining is more interesting-as always, stuck in LA traffic | |
| Supply chain affecting anyone? I ordered a Brinkmann Nyquist from Germany and had it in my house (California) in just over three weeks. | |
| Curious..... I have the Brinkmann Nyquist II streaming to a Decware 345 and cannot even describe the sound. The Nyquist is detailed yet very warm-it matches so well with the tube amp. If you are in around Orange County Cal, hit me up if you want to listen to... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired Very well written. All you “professional” reviewers and editors take note: dbb just blew all of you out of the water. Clear concise prose. Bravo. | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 or Conrad Johnson ET7 S2 My Decware 341.5 has a maximum input sensitivity of 10v or about 9db. Full “power” is achieved at 2 volts or about 12db. So with the Cary, and correct me if I am wrong, I could use their gain setting to stay below the maximum. I will be using th... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 or Conrad Johnson ET7 S2 Charles 1 Dad: Thank you SO Much for pointing out the gain issue. It’s exactly why I asked for help from this forum. I’ll expand my search to stay at or below 10db of gain. BTW, I have extremely sensitive Lii Audio Silver 10 speakers-I seem to... | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 or Conrad Johnson ET7 S2 Forgot to mention that this is HER system; I can spare no expense to keep her happy. If I get to listen to Pink Floyd for just 5 minutes, I consider it a win.thanks for the input so far…much better than all the reviews I’ve read. | |
| Any direct comparisons between Decware SE34I.5 and SE84UFO2? I’ve owned the 341.5 for about a year. I upgraded with all the options and I think the price was near $2500. I chose it because it has a few more watts. I’ve used it with Decware 945 speakers and a pair of custom made Lii Audio Silver 10 s. My... |
