| Looking for my first DAC JD - what source will you be using for your DAC and what type of input (optical, coax, USB?) and would you like multiple inputs of one or multiple? | |
| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? Perhaps the highest end marantz and ps audio system are the ticket for you? (SA-10; SA-KI Ruby; DirectStream). These upsample everything to DSD and output a 1-bit signal - the idea being a “digital-version” of an “analog” signal. I have the Ruby a... | |
| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! Try turning off the lights, taking off your glasses (if you wear them) and closing your eyes? That’s my favorite tweak - works every time. | |
| Kids during audition - aaaaagh!! Bob - I wonder if you invited your friend over to specifically listen to music and explained that him/her? I find that unless I’m clear that “I want you to hear this cool thing but you can’t talk or you’ll miss it!” Then people aren’t comfortable ... | |
| Decent DAC/Streamer @n80 you might try a used Modi Multibit | |
| Which integrated amp do you suggest? +3 Yamaha A-S801great piece - love mine. | |
| Zu audio Any Zu owners listened to Wharfedale, KEF or Rega speakers to compare? | |
| Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!! Regarding Loki@simna I guess everyone’s system is different!important to get matching ICs and to leave it on - it takes a while to warm up that magic sound. | |
| Decent DAC/Streamer The Arcam rPlay would be a good all-in-one solution for you. It is, in fact, a DAC (@sfar) but does not have wired digital inputs, only wireless (hence streamer) inputs. I’d look out for one used! | |
| Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!! +1 wolf_garcia, Gardnrbob. The Schiit Loki EQ box is the answer. Seriously you don’t need new speakers. Just put this magic box in the loop, play with the knobs for a few minutes, and listen to the 3D soundstage emerge from your system at low volu... | |
| Integrated under 1k (hopefully 500) for Wharfedale Dentons & Snell Yamaha A-S801sounds awesome with my Wharfedale diamond 10.7s and 220s. Sounded like I got new speakers when i put it in. | |
| New speakers? No thanks. That Volvo sounds system looks legit!im still driving a ‘98 XC70. Great tape deck. | |
| KEF Q350 with a Yamaha r-s202 receiver? Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversary might be a smoother speaker for older ears. Same price bracket | |
| On-Wall Speakers - anyone have the Elac OW4.2? Incase anyone finds this thread - the ELAC’s sound nice! But they definitely need a sub. The tweeter sounds great - reaches different/higher tonal highs than the wharfdales. However they were a little fatiguing to my ears. And if I didn’t have th... | |
| Volume Control for second set of speakers @wolf_garcia yeah my dad had one for the dining room speakers when we were growing up. Not sure what happened to it...the speaker connection is unfamiliar to me - do you think these Lil Piggies would connect properly?https://www.parts-express.com/... |
