| Experience with Metrum Octave DAC Vic,I'm very interested in the Octave as well. Because of funds, I have to wait a bit before buying, so I'm using this time to research and make sure it's the best buy for me. I have also seen those reviews, plus the very good feedback from severa... | |
| SB Touch w/upgraded power supply: good next step? Kenny,The MiniMax Plus has me interested as well. Some people love it. The fact that it doesn't have the volume control as its predecessor is a plus, as I intend to keep my pre.Many consider it's tubed option as a plus. However I have a tube pre a... | |
| SB Touch w/upgraded power supply: good next step? Thanks folks for the good feedback, and sorry I wasn't replying - took 2 weeks off to the middle of nowhere, without wireless signal or electricity.Like Kenneythekey, I have a dedicated power line where the SBT sits on its own, so maybe a linear p... | |
| SB Touch w/upgraded power supply: good next step? OK, got it: the DAC is the next best step. But for that I'll have to wait about 9 months.So on to alternatives. Rbautista, I had forgotten about a wifi bridge. Good point! What is the difference between the Netgear piece you suggest and a simple w... | |
| Vacuum tube preamp? Nordic,I'm not familiar with your Rotel pre, but I had a Rotel RC1070 pre and while cheap, I wasn't hearing enough differences with other pres that would make me want to change, until I got a Lamm LL2. Certainly I can hear that difference, but the... | |
| iMac + what DAC to exceed my Rotel CD player? I have a Rotel RCD-1072 and since January also have a Squeezebox Touch ($300). Lately I don't listen to the CD player anymore. Sound is the same - both going analog out into a preamp). So if you had nothing I would say go for the Touch, and later ... | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Jaspert,Correct. It was wiped! First it was wiped from the daily listing, but I was able to find it with the search function. Then that didn't work anymore. Someone found it through Google. later I tried the same and couldn't find it. Another memb... | |
| AC regenerator What devices do users connect to isolation transformers, or filters, or regenerators? For example, with regeneration: digital, turntables, preamps, but not amps because of dynamics loss?Power conditioning is in my to-do list. So far I only have 2 ... | |
| Logitech Squeezebox sound compared to CD Player I'm not familiar with your Denon player, but I have a Rotel RCD1072, used to retail at $800 and was talked highly for its price, and a Touch. I use the analog outs of both into my Lamm LL2 pre and Mc MC275 amp, and B&W 804S speakers. Certainly... | |
| Any devices like Squeezbox Touch but handle 192/24 I'm told the Touch outputs whatever it gets through the input: if 24/96 in, then outputs 24/96. Too bad there's no display to confirm this!BTW, from what I've seen in forums, the audio quality through a USB drive attached to the Touch apparently i... | |
| Does Mcintosh MC75 drive B&W 802D well? I agree: not enough power. I own MC275 with B&W 804S, a much smaller speaker, and the combination is very good. I know of people using MC275 as mono amps to drive 802D and claim to have very good results, but 75W I guess wouldn't be enough.Unl... | |
| Amplifiers for B&W 804 Nautilus - Need Help I don´t really have suggestions within that price range. I can tell you about my experience, though: I used to have a Rotel RB-1080 amp connected to CM-4 speakers, and it sounded great. I then upgraded speakers to 804S and the shortcomings of the ... | |
| Amplifiers for B&W 804 Nautilus - Need Help Yeap, Pass, Classe, McIntosh are generally liked with B&W.I own 804S and back 3 years ago I auditioned Classe, McIntosh solid state and McIntosh tubed MC275 and went with it. I just love tubes with the 804S. You do miss some slam, but you gain... | |
| Music Server VS Laptop Check out the ripping guide over at computeraudiophile.com. They ahve put together this guide which allows you to just doing it right instead of doing a bunch of research to figure out the best way. I follow it to the t and works great. | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Quietman,I have no insight regarding the Eximus, but if you haven't yet, you might want to look over at computeraudiophile.com the "Metrum Octave - WOW" thread, where member Bhobba compares the U3, an Audiophileo, and an Offramp feeding the Octave... |
