| DAC recommendation @bigkidz Yeah not really looking to upgrade the CD player, rather looking for a DAC that would make Tidal and FLACs sound equally musical and engaging. And wondering if that exists for $300, new or used...What's the skinny on all the Musical Fide... | |
| DAC recommendation @wig @audioengr looks cool but appears to be 5x or 10x times my budget. Am I missing something?it certainly is described as having the traits I’m looking for - I like my CD players for their involving, analogue-like sound. So I’m wondering if ther... | |
| DAC recommendation @jayWhat does Multibit mean on the Schitt products? | |
| DAC recommendation Thanks @shadorne how about in the $200-$300 range? That’s about my budget on these outlays. Used is good! Got those CD players at that same price point. | |

| Phil Collins Remasters lol, thanks @tomcarr, who will be the first to bring up better cables and tubes?anybody own the actual discs i'm asking about? | |
| Done buying new vinyl I tried to get into vinyl with a couple modern albums - most notably Perfume Genius "Too Bright" (album name, not descriptor of SQ) which is an incredibly dynamic album. On cd it sparkles. On vinyl it sounded like i was listening through a tin c... | |
| Full detailed sound at 30 - 40 - 50 dB The Loki tone controls are really great. Got the unit 5 days ago and used it to add just a touch warmth and boost the upper register. It sounds really excellent - crystal clear, doesn't muddy anything at all. I got matching AudioQuest ICs for t... | |

| Polycarbonate Disc Bliss: The CD is alive and well I love CDs! Love this thread. @tomcy6 take your tidal recos elsewhere! :) I do find CDs sound better than Tidal if using comparable DACs. Anyway some of my faves for depth and detail:David Bowie - BlackstarDeerhunter - Halcyon DigestPhil Collins ... | |
