| Need to replace my Denon 2910, have $400? For the time being I'm using the Touch with factory settings, thru wi-fi, supplied power supply, etc. Just volume at 100% and use the preamp volume. The mods are in my to-do list. I'm using the internal DAC too (DAC is also in my to-do).Ripping wa... | |
| Need to replace my Denon 2910, have $400? Depends of your definition of cheap. With 16bit/44.1kHz material, my SB Touch sounds as good as my Rotel RCD-1072 CD player ($800) playing the same CD, plus you have the option of 24/96 material and the flexibility digital audio provides. Some pre... | |
| Need to replace my Denon 2910, have $400? used Rotel RCD1072, which I own.How about a Squeezebox Touch ($350)? Since I purchased it I'm rarely, if ever, using my CD player anymore. Different ballgame altogether. | |
| Recommend Verdi's Nabucco/Va pensiero Frogman: Sorry I didn't come back to the thread. It's not that I didn't like the recommendations, but rather I couldn't find the albums you recommended online or locally (I'm overseas). I do appreciate the input, though. I might need to have it sh... | |
| Asynch USB or super clock thru S/PDIF for $3.5k? Cerrot: Thanks for the input. Very good to know this. I wonder how your system would perform with an asynch USB to S/PDIF converter with a super clock vs. the Juli@ + G25 feeding the Alpha.BTW, you mentioned your PC is next room. How do you contro... | |
| Asynch USB or super clock thru S/PDIF for $3.5k? Thanks all for the input. It's giving me food for thought.Sandstone: Unfortunately I cannot audition as I live in Argentina and these pieces aren't available here. So it's down to an educated guess! I realize these are all good DACs. Maybe the tub... | |
| The right amp to biamp with McIntosh MC275 Mk V? I don't know all the history, but the Mk IV vs. Mk V:IV has a splitter tube, and gain controls. V doesn't.IV has speaker terminals that only allow spades. V allows for bananas. | |
| looking for a good tubed dac It seems there's feeding frenzy regarding the EE minimax.It would also help to know how you are planning to connect it, and to what (computer/CD transport/SB Touch/etc).Other tubed DACs: Audio Research DAC8, Wavelenght lineup, Accustic Arts Tube D... | |
| Is berkeley dac as good as absolute sound review? I know of two A'gon members who tried the Berkeley and Bryston in their own systems and while they found the Berkeley was better they couldn't justtify spending the extra cash for the extra performance and purchased the Bryston. Now, how much does... | |
| Recommend Verdi's Nabucco/Va pensiero I know there are classical & opera fans here :-)Pleeease? | |
| RE: Ethernet Cable /Patch Cable ...Any Difference? Ben, Levy,What's the thread/forum you are referring to? I'm looking into this as well, for my SB Touch. AAsylum member Soundcheck has done a lot of work on this and seems to have background in IT, and mentioned most CAT5 cables don't really meet t... | |
| Rega vs Burson Dac Vinyl,I'm intrigued by your comment regarding Rega vs Bryston BDA. Did you consider the Rega "better" because it had a sound signature more to your liking, or were both along the same sound signature with the Rega being better? Did the other/s pre... | |
| Audio Research LS17 vs First Sound Presence MKII A year ago I was looking into tube preamps too, and the First Sound was very high on my list...second, actually. I ended up with a Lamm LL2 deluxe, and I'm VERY happy with it. The ergonomics (or lack thereoff!) are similar to the First Sound, and ... | |
| Esoteric's G-03x Master Clock Generator Never seen a G03 in use, but I'm intrigued by it and G25. Can they be used in this fashion? Coax out from a Touch and into the G03 or G25, reclocked and AES out to a DAC?Been looking at the rear panel of the G25 and has coax inputs and AES outputs... |
