| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 I'm sure the Project and Jay's are excellent solid and robust transports but why not think about the PS Audio CD/SACD transport? I know it's $6.5k but PS will give you up to 30% trade in on any old gear you have providing it's working. You even h... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm +1 On Goldensound, I respect the way he's stood up to dCS and the MQA scum, notwithstanding his truly excellent reviews of the May, Spring, Serene, Dave etc. The Fat German keeps defending MQA to his last breath when everyone else has prove... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @debjit_g I would say the general Chinese business plan is similar to the post War Japanese one. Which is first copy, dump the product on the market and when the competition is on it's knees bring out a cheaper quality product. I would say the 0... | |
| Do power supply units/cables make a difference in sound quality? @baumwoll Trust your own ears, no one else's. Ignore the naysayers. You've probably got a flat screen TV, change the power cable to a NEO by Oyaide D+ only about $50.00, if that doesn't prove anything nothing will. https://www.neo-w.com/english/... | |
| Looking for Wadia 16 parts; specifically “Servo” board Ebay has bits and pieces occasionally. Google the part name and number that should bring something up. There's a firm in Germany selling lasers they may have some knowledge. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @twoleftears Thank you for the Geopolitical lesson, I've been to Prague on business. I was not criticizing the CR in any way. The quality of their CZ firearms is World class. On ground level though the CR is quite a poor country and lags behind ... | |

| NEWEST Rolling stones Mono reissues. @tablejockey I was there, I got the T-Shirt. When Stereo was released it was a breath of fresh air. If you like mono go for it. When I say DSD you have to copy a SACD onto a SSD and play it on a server. The Japanese single layer SACDs are best. ... | |
| NEWEST Rolling stones Mono reissues. You need the DSD versions, honestly who wants to listen to mono? If you're a millennial that has never heard mono before just cover one ear and there you have it. Audiofools! | |
| Pink Floyd in 24/192 The DSD versions are the best. | |
| Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's Budgie have already been mentioned who were an inspiration for Metallica and who covered two Budgie tracks. They just chose a crap name. Man another band from Wales the same as Budgie, created many great albums but the best was Maximum Darkness a... | |
| Who has more Rock, Tidal or Qobuz? I’m in the middle of this process now and have been experimenting with Tidal and Qobuz. Tidal is much less hassle free and I don’t need Hi-Rez because I’ve got all of that on DSD already and I ain’t buying more. Tidal’s family option is good val... | |
| AES/EBU or USB into Denafrips Venus II @steverrino The short answer is you'll need both because native DSD can usually only be transmitted over USB or I2s. If you only use AES/EBU you'll need to listen to DSD in DOP, which is over 90% as good as DSD but it does lack the sparkle of DSD... | |
| Jadis DAC @rony_k There are a hundred reasons why you shouldn't buy it, but if you like DACs with valves go ahead. You should really listen to it first and compare it to a current model DAC with and without tubes. It most likely will have a warm, romantic... |
