| RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000? @joeini how does it sounds? compared to other DACs you might have experienced? | |
| SET the best? Good that works for you @wolf_garcia could not agree more with efficiency and the ability to use pretty much ANY amp | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes I think you are correct, there is a 1578 | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes What you got is just regular Melz 6n8s tube. I believe the stamp of 1578 faded, if you look at the photos, the construction it looks and even has the OTK stamp, but I don't intend to argue, if you think I did not get Melz 1578 that's fine, for al... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes you should try the tall-bottle (metal or plastic/6SN7W or A), Thanks but I think that is unobtanium But I think you did not get Melz 1578 at 10$ per tube. don't know why you would have to doubt my statement but that's ok, 2 years ago the Melz w... | |
| SET the best? Its this phenomena of *sounding* loud that's what I'm talking about. Agreed I have compared a PSET with KT150's 16 Watts or so vs the OTL's and it distorts after 70% or so, that impression of playing loud to me was plain distortion. My speakers a... | |
| SET the best? Thanks Ralph, having your MA-1's OTL's I agree that listening to higher levels without distortion it is an exceptional experience, I figured you were talking about your OTL's | |
| SET the best? Interesting thread, got resurrected after 10 years. If Ralph still follows it I would be interested on knowing which amps he was referring to in this comment But the amps I use are designed to not generate any loudness cues to the human earWere yo... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes I tried the Melz’s 2 years ago, these run hot on my Atmasphere MP-3, bought 2 pairs, 1 tube of each pair died after a few hours, they weren’t that special IMO on my gear, I remember not much bass and very bright, but the RCA red base that it is su... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @jaytor yes sir I agree | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @david_ten and @alvin1118David and Alvin, I did not mean to derail this thread onto a separate PCM / DSD / other DACs discussion, just stating my opinion. | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... Huh. If they say that the DSD conversion sounds better, it certainly invites me to price shop for a DAC that spent the same amount in the DSD output but not the PCM. Hi Erik:We are saying kind of the same thing.You will buy the terminator for the ... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... If I may add, I said above big part of the cost were the resistors but I could add the final analog conversion electrical stage it is excellent as well as the digital filters used in the conversion. This is a very complete product which you would ... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... +1 @erik_squires . I was thinking the same thing. But it’s his ears and his money. If he likes the sound better that way, that’s his choice.You nailed it @jaytor, in three lines what I used more than 30, 👍 | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... That makes no sense to me. That is a good (although very direct and raw) remark. I totally agree but you could have added @erik_squires "even more if the source content is native PCM" This is the way I understand it. Big part of the cost of the Te... |
