| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? @milpai One more thing to keep in mind - you will need to "separate the Wheat from the chaff" on these forum posts. You know what I mean. But I guess that would involve one on one auditions instead of wild presumptuous conclusions. Nice Dia... | |
| Jays Transport Cable Deja Vu? | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? Let me say that I have a TEAC UD-503 headphone/pre-amp, DAC which is capable of being used in a full blown system and it's very good soundwise and very well built and I would recommend it and it's later models to anyone looking for a reasonably pr... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? @bosssound Hi, First let me say that the UD-701 is a beautiful looking unit and I was considering upgrading my UD-503 headphone amp to it but then the AKM chip plant burnt down and TEAC had to re-think their plans. They were going to use the AKM c... | |
| ripper to pair with Melco N1A/2 @larseand Welcome to the world of scams, this is the real Melco and Melco Servers sound shite. https://www.dela-audio.com/ | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm Yes thank you, I have enjoyed this DAC better than any other piece of equipment since I bought my Naim Nait 2 back in the ’80s. I remember back then that no HIFI magazines (no internet then..lol) would review Naim because they wouldn’t pay o... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @ja_kub_sz I really don't know why you're going down this road, the UK dealer for Tambaqui changed to Musetec and you just read @teknorob23 comparison of the Tambaqui and the 005. I've personally compared the 005 against a $40,000 DAC and there w... | |
| Kubala Sosna Cables - Reality Check 10-12 years ago they were the reference but there's a lot of KS on the used market now, so they are not what they were. What is interesting is what has taken their place? Crystal, Shunyata or something more exotic? | |
| Aurender A-10 @bernardwilliams Hi Bernard, I haven't personally heard the A-10 but as a one box solution, I'm sure you'll be very happy. I've demoed several Aurender models and have an N20 and I couldn't be happier. | |
| Ifi Zen Streamer plus upgraded power supply - the streamer to beat?? @joshindc I apologise, you were only comparing features, my bad. To evaluate the quality of streaming you're getting compare it to a cd or a recording on your HDD or SSD. A good DAC is essential, if you get one with an Amanero USB board/input yo... | |
| Ifi Zen Streamer plus upgraded power supply - the streamer to beat?? @joshindc Seems like your buddies over on DIY Audio don't share your enthusiasm and BTW don't tell people that it's better than an Auralic or Aurender unless you have personally demoed them side by side with your wonder box. https://www.diyaudio.... | |
| Power Conditioner/Surge Protector Options @steakster I was talking independently about surge protection and power conditioning. Anything in the power line to protect from surges will degrade sound and will limit the KVA demand from power amplifiers. High transient current demand from po... | |
| Power Conditioner/Surge Protector Options @boostedis If you buy a product that provides surge protection then that's exactly what it's going to do but you shouldn't expect sonic improvements, you may even get a small degradation due to current limitation. It's not a leap of faith or hocus... | |
| TV and upgraded cables @moneoone You will get richer and more natural colours. The biggest improvement was using a NEO d+ power cable for my TV. It’s important you use cables designed for video. I use Furutech CAT 8 Lan and Furutech 8k HDMI. These also improve the pict... | |
| Power Conditioner/Surge Protector Options @boostedis Also, where my rig is positioned there is only one outlet so plugging the Amp in directly is possible, but not practical, so having multiple plugin positions is also my challenge which would be solved by a Conditioner/Surge protector... |
