https://www.whathifi.com/advice/cambridge-audio-cxn100-vs-mxn10-what-are-the-differences-between-the-two-super-streamers The CXN100’s sonic profile is resplendently clean and refined, boasting a soundscape that feels spacious, open and immensely... 
Accuphase class A amps - going up the food chain from an A-48 to an A-80 or A-300?
Japanese domestic models typically come with a fixed voltage setting specifically for the Japanese market, which is 100V AC. These models often lack the multi-tap voltage options (100/117/220/240V AC) found in international versions. For those you... 
Accuphase class A amps - going up the food chain from an A-48 to an A-80 or A-300?
You could actually buy a brand-new Accuphase Japanese model with a step-down transformer here in US with limited warranty and it can indeed be a cost-effective option (less than 50% listed price here). However, there is some concern regarding the ... 
D amps
  @hgeifman   they lacked the subtly, feeling, resolution, sparkle, air and imaging of my MusicalFidelity class AB amps that replaced them. Thanks for sharing your experience with Hypex. I’ve been curious about it for a while. People say Purif... 
???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???
The Parasound A23 is certainly not an end-game amplifier. None of us likely have enough exposure or information to confidently declare any piece of equipment as truly "end-game." However, I've owned the A23 for years and have never considered swit... 
Lumin D2 or Aurender N100H
"Aurender caches and others buffer." Now I see that ads, which kinda surprises me why others don't cache with the known advantages over buffering. Not questioning but wondering. Anyway, yea, if that makes significant difference, when the oppert... 
Lumin D2 or Aurender N100H
After hearing complaints on the use of N100, I decided to jump on the higher model N150 and 'almost' won the bid (around 2k).  I have seen the pricedrop but the market supply of used N150 stayed low.    
Holographic DAC With Air And Decay
@sls883 @fanofmsu I'm curious myself, particularly about how the Cyan 2 stacks up against the X30. Given the big price disparity, I would assume the X30 could easily outclass the Cyan 2. However, if the sound quality improvement isn't significant,... 
Bluesound mode not really cutting it
OP Received the Cambridge cvx v2. The dac sounded flat. Surprisingly, the MXN10 feeding directly into my Parasound sounds great, just as several reviewers have mentioned—definitely not a wall of sound. Perhaps Black Ice is in a relatively diffe... 
" the best Tweak ever in the entire audio industry"
First off, the YouTube film that Fosi put forth is meant to assist people in making their buying decisions. If you’ve already purchased the op-amp and are using it, there’s no need to watch the film. Of course, an educated audience should be aware... 
" the best Tweak ever in the entire audio industry"
@jastralfu Very good.  You got good ears and educated enough to use headphones.  How many of you hear what @jastralfu heard?  
Lumin D2 or Aurender N100H
Just found a blind test on Node and D2 w/ SBooster LPS, which exactly the same streamer setup I have an eye on.  With his friends five of them conclude there is no sonic difference bet. Node and D2 heard from the system he has for the audition, in... 
" the best Tweak ever in the entire audio industry"
Results are mixed.  Judge for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrqVYE4_v1M&t=128s  
Which power cord should you buy first
I bought 10 awg shielded power cable for my power amp first and, gradually, 12 awg or 14 awg shielded cables for the rest of the gears. My Monster power conditioner has a pretty beefy shielded cable so I don’t worry about it.  
Holographic DAC With Air And Decay
The Gustard X30 was just announced in June and became available on the market this August. While I haven’t heard it myself, it has received top ratings for soundstage size, to the best of my knowledge. I just wanted to bring it to your attention. ...
