| W4S DAC2 vs Bryston BDA1 thru coax? Thanks for the feedback. Follow up question: what kind of source was used for these occasions? Is it known as a low-jitter source? I ask because my Rotel CD player, to be used as transport, as well as the Touch are likely not the last word in low ... | |
| IC between Lamm pre and McIntosh amp? thanks for the feedback. Had not heard about Concierto or Gabriel Gold, so went off digging the archives.Conciertos: why no comments in recent past?? 3 hits from 2009, but all about power cords...then 4 hits from 2007 but from PCs or speaker cable... | |
| Anyone heard the Lindemann USB DAC 24/192? Mmmm. Was hoping for more feedback.Magnumpi: could you elaborate on the differences and why you prefered the Wyred? Is it a DAC2? That one is high on my list. Also, did you try them with a computer thru USB, or CD player thru coax, or other?Thank ... | |
| SB Touch through coax or USB to DAC? OK, that's good to know. So I should probably avoid the USB only units, like Ayre and Wavelength.Do you know of any DACs with which the USB mod does work, or does not work? That will help me to narrow things down further.Thanks! | |
| Can a Rotel RA-1520 power B&W's 804s' Experiment,You need to be aware you might be entering a continous upgrade path. Beware!My story: my first system was B&W CM4 (previous line) with Rotel CD player, Rotel RC1070 pre and Rotel amp. I auditioned at home the 60W amp...RB1050 maybe?... | |
| Tube Amp for Maggie 1.7 A couple of things you can do to get a sense of what people are doing:1. Try searching the archives here. Member Nsgarch, who hasn't been posting for a while, has a McIntosh MC275 to drive his Maggies. He swears by the combo and is knowledgeable a... | |
| Is 75 ohm coax the same as S/PDIF? Kr, thanks for the straight answer. I'm only hoping you answered the question I think you did! | |
| Is 75 ohm coax the same as S/PDIF? Thanks for the feedback, but I'm thinking I probably didn't make myself clear: my CD player has a digital out (RCA) that the manual says it's a 75 ohm coax connection. If I get a DAC with S/PDIF input and buy the appropriate cable, will the two wo... | |
| Preamp suggestions To reinforce what Keithr mentioned, I own 804S and used to drive them with all SS gear and got a McIntosh MC275 (tubes) and loved it, and later got a Lamm LL2 deluxe preamp, and loved it even more. The ergonomics of the Lamm aren't for everyone, t... | |
| Ayre QB9 with a transport Over at the SB Touch forum there is a tweak (tweaking the software) that allows the Touch to output through the USB (which ships with that USB connector as an input only). The Touch review at Stereophile discussed this.You might want to check out ... | |
| "Best" DAC for a grand or less I'm a DAC rookie, and want to get a DAC. I have a tube pre (Lamm LL2D) and tube amp (McIntosh MC275), would I still benefit from a tubed DAC? I am leaning towards SS DAC, but that's from pure speculation as I haven't tried any (BTW, can't audition... | |
| Best USB DAC for 1000-1500? Latinsamba,For whatever reason Wavelength DACs don't get a lot of talk here. Don't know why, as the guy behind it and the technology he developed are highly respected here. The Brick is probably a good choice. You know this is USB input only, corr... | |
| Wyred DAC-2 How much are these diodes?I guess it's safe to assume a similar result from replacing the diodes in a cd player. Correct? | |
| Ayre QB-9 USB DAC Dracule1,Yes, interesting post. I tend to second guess these rave reviews about the Tranquility DAC. It has been noted repeatedly here some shills around the Tranquility: always the same few raving about the Tranquility with no further posts about... | |
| McIntosh Preamp I have an MC275 and was considering a C220 or a C2200. Both are great and I loved the sound they put out with my amp and speakers. Whether that combo is too tubey will probably depend on what speakers you drive.However I ended up getting a Lamm LL... |
