| Sony HAP-ZIES HDD player is it only 16bit 320kbps native playback ? To me it sounds like the Mytek might be downsampling. I used to own a Mytek and there are a heck of a lot of options in those knobs.why not just play the Sony using it own DAC and then you won’t have Audiophilia Nervosa? | |
| Digiital source material: what do people do/makes the most sense... The biggest problem with Classical is finding a a software program that works. I have yet to do so. I stopped discarding CDs after burning them because I have a really large collection and it’s easier for me to find a disc on the shelves then lo... | |
| SACD player/streamer with built-in Volume Control Try the Bryston BDA-3.14 . It is supposed to be some sort of merger of the DAC-3 and the BDP3. The Audio Advisor site also claims that it has “Preamp Functionality “. Looking at the supplied pictures, I don’t see where they are hiding the volum... | |
| SACD player/streamer with built-in Volume Control I also used my Oppo as a transport with a Mytek Manhatten, since traded away. The Manhattan doesn’t do HDMI but does have both digital and analog volume control, and I believe the other Myteks do as well. I used the Mytek as a preamp when my reg... | |
| SACD player/streamer with built-in Volume Control I use the Oppo 205 as a transport into a Bryston DAC3. The Oppo can be programmed to output the DSD from SACD over HDMI and the Bryston has 4 HDMI inputs. I am very happy with the results and the Bryston can be had within your budget, but it doe... | |
| SACD player/streamer with built-in Volume Control I can’t think of any SACD player with a volume control. All the one boxers that I am aware of feature CD only | |
| A CD player for....CD’s I use a Bryston DAC3, which has 4 HDMI inputs, and and Oppo 105 as a transport. Your BDP would do well here, and you can use the DAC for other digital sources. | |
| Streamer recommendation under $3000 I have experience with the Bryston BDP3, Bluesound, and Melco N100. The Bryston sounds great but has the weakest software control. For the price, Bluesound sounds good, DAC is bypassable, and the controlling app works well, compatible with every... | |
| How to use my Cambrige Audio Stream Magic 6 Agree with suggestion above. However, the CA component should attach to your amp via RCA connectors. | |
| I am frustrated with the sound from my DAC Does the DAC offer filters? | |
| Low profile CC speaker that is good sounding BobHow did this turn out for you? | |
| Comparison of latest DAC chips I am curious about the OP statement that he thought the Node2 sounded better with Cat 6 ethernet cable. Can he elaborate?Regarding chip quality, it really does matter about the total environment that are placed in. For a while I used the Oppo 10... | |
| Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents? Slightly OT, but I used my Advent 3 for about 15 years before I could afford something else. After I got divorced and was in a relationship I wound up gifting them to my girlfriend and was pretty impressed with their sound , at that stage 30 year... | |
| Streamer v DAC - which is more important? I’ve used the Bluesound Vault2, a Bryston BDP3, and a Melco N100 as 3 different streamers into the same DAC, a Bryston DAC3. They all sound different, with the Melco and the Bryston besting the Bluesound. So I think the streamer matters, but the... | |
| Audiophile Magazine Recommendation I save a lot of $ with the Brit publications reading the digital versions. I much prefer the traditional print but 4 bucks an issue vs 13 is a pretty compelling. I’ve just taken out a digital version of TAS-I wasn’t reading it for a while after... |
