| B&W 804s too bright suggestion: get your amp first, then cables. That's assuming you are talking speaker cables or IC between pre and amp.my two cents. | |
| B&W 804s too bright I agree with Elee. To further comment on my above post, I used to have Rotel CD, preamp and RB1080 amp with B&W CM4. I upgraded to 804S and it became bright and painful. I replaced the amp for a MC275 and it was great. So here's an example of ... | |
| B&W 804s too bright I have 804S with McIntosh MC275 tubes and love it. You don't want tubes. At the time I auditioned McIntosh MC252 (ss) which was very good too. Try and audition. Classe was good too, but I myself preferred the McIntosh SS sound to Classe with the 8... | |
| USB DAC/Preamp Suggestions $1k to $2k Burson Audio. Not sure about remote and analog inputs, though. Neither do some of the others proposed... | |
| metrum octave dac or cary or wyred4sound and more Since nobody is replying, I'll help with what I can:1. You should consider a USB to SPDIF converter between your laptop and DAC, such as Audiophileo.2. The Octave will play hi-rez natively up to 24/176, so 24/192 files would need to be played at 2... | |
| Need advice for B&W 804 diamond amplification I don't have 804D, but 804S. When I upgraded the speakers I had a Rotel RB1080 amp, which worked great with lesser B&W, but wasn't on par with the 804S. I auditioned some amps, narrrowed down to Classe and McIntosh, preferred Mc, and ended up ... | |
| Sophia 1 with McIntosh/Lamm tubes? Please advise I also believe in listening as the best way to decide what's best. I really do. In fact, while I lived in the US this is how I went about choosing equipment.However, now I live in South America, where auditioning these is impossible. Yet in a coup... | |
| Looking for a DAC for the Squeezebox Touch Earlxtr,Please tell us more about the way you used the Audio DG: Was it SB Touch > coax > Audio DG > coax > Metrum?Thanks! | |
| amp for b&w 804 "s" with htm4 "s" 200 watts.... Any way you can audition any of these combinations? Many dealers carry B&W and Mc and Rotel.I had B&W CM4 with Rotel RB1080 and liked them, then upgraded to 804S and hated it (100% music, though), then moved to Mc tubes. The 804S are too r... | |
| Sophia 1 with McIntosh/Lamm tubes? Please advise Missioncoonery: I looked at your past responses to get a better perspective of where you are coming from. I see you like tubes - saw a "Jadis user since '95" somewhere. Maybe it's the McIntosh you don't like. Which amps do you like with the Sophia... | |
| Sophia 1 with McIntosh/Lamm tubes? Please advise Lloydelee21,Thanks for the kind words! I do indeed enjoy my system.I don't really have an itch to spend $6k. What's happening is I live overseas and someone is being relocated back from the US so I have a chance to bring home some heavy stuff, lik... | |
| Best DAC under 2k US ? Calling Ray Charles | |
| Wyred DAC1 or DAC2 Try the search function and you'll get a fair amount of info, likely.FWIW, some data: - DAC-1 cannot do 24/192 but can be ordered with the asyc. 24/192 for an additional $250.- With the upgraded board installed the DAC2 would still have the advant... | |
| Logitech Squeezebox album art issue Like Mapman, I rip to wav (but using dBpoweramp), and add missing art just like he does. Cumbersome if you need to do 200 CDs the first time, but a non-issue after that. | |
| CD upgrade. Hello James.Ayon makes tubed equipment that has many talking about. Their CD players are said to be fantastic. Also their DAC, which also has a fantastic volume stage. Actually, some or their CD players also have this feature.Esoteric X03SE would ... |
