| EAT C-Sharp Turntable anyone owned or demoed it?? I'm going to hear the C-Sharp later this week. We're going to hook it up to a pair of Aerial 5T's and the Luxman CL38U-se (both items I currently own.) I'm curious to hear how it sounds. Currently I have a 1986 Linn w/a cirkus upgrade, Ittok arm, ... | |
| The RME ADI 2-DAC 32Bit/768kHz The AK4490 DAC Chip is excellent. Esoteric and the Hegel 360 integrated both use this chip. Accuphase also uses AK chips in their DACS. | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Wow! My dealer won't let me purchase any big item until I demo it at home in my own system. The last to items were the $6000 Luxman CL38U-SE tube preamp and just three weeks ago the RME ADI-2 Dac. Purchased both. He shocks a lot of customers by of... | |
| Bryston owners I use both on my 2.5 SST 2. My Luxman CL 38U-SE has only RCA inputs and no HT pass through. So I use the RCA's for that preamp. For movies I use balanced cables for my Krell Showcase. All I have to do is hit the switch behind the amp to activate e... | |
| Any Benefit to Bi-Amping Bookshelf Speakers? Agree unless you have an active x-over a total waste of time. | |
| DAC choice There are a variety of filters you can use to shape your sound. The default filter Sharp followed by SD Slow, Slow and NOS. I use SD Slow, as it cuts down on the harsh digital hash. Also w/the RME you have dual EQ and Treble and Bass knobs. There ... | |
| DAC choice Optical toslink to the RME. From the RME you have a choice of RCA or Balanced connections to your Receiver. The RCA connections are small head connections will not take the larger head RCA's. | |
| DAC choice The RME ADI-2 DAC is fantastic DAC. The Steady Clock is measured in Femtoseconds. You find this in the top of the line DAC's. Bought mine about 3 weeks ago and really upgraded the SQ of my Universal player and Bluesound node. Can can compete w/any... | |
| Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC I’ve been fine tuning my RME and there is nothing in this price range that can touch it. If you want to see a review of the RME w/very descriptive charts go to Audio Science Review. They described it as the best measured DAC to date. Very clear tr... | |
| The RME ADI 2-DAC 32Bit/768kHz Sweetwater has for a limited time the RME pro AD/DA converter on sale for a limited time for $1199. $800 off. a real steal. | |
| 3 best 10k speakers now imho Thiels also were never designed for bi-wiring either. The Late Jim Thiel never believed in bi-wiring. | |
| 3 best 10k speakers now imho Never heard the Magico. Personal taste never liked Revel speakers. My local dealer carries the D-9 and it's excellent. He usually partners it w/the Luxman 509-x. I would also include the 10K Paradigm Persona and the $10,999 Aerial 7T. | |
| Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC Recently bought the RME ADI-2 DAC. Hooked it up to my Blue sound node and it was a huge improvement. RME is a German Pro Audio company that builds recording studio gear. It's a 32/768 kHz converter. W/features not found in other Dac's. Check it ou... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ or Schiit Yggdrasil? I would check out the review in Audio Science Review on the Schiit dac. Very detailed review that was not very good. In fact did not recommend the unit. | |
| Tube Pre-Amp, vs Solid State with Tone Controls/EQ to take edge off the top end? I have a Luxman CL38U-SE. It has quite a few functions to tweek your sound. There is a low frequency switch that allows you to select frequencies from 150, 300 and 600hz. High frequency switch where you can select frequencies from 1.5, 3 and 6kz. ... |
