| Pono was the best SS headphone amp I ever heard I don’t like my music on the go. I don’t like having something on or in my ears, the hole in the head effect, or since I live in Chicago, the lack of awareness of my external environment which could lead to being criminally assaulted. I have 3 S... | |
| Streaming Question.... I don’t understand the question. Right now your SQ is limited by using a Bluetooth DAC. Any streamer using Ethernet or really good WiFi will probably blow it away. | |
| Going to try digital The OP will require a DACat the bare minimum. The next decision is choosing between a few options:1) using a PC with a DAC 2) using a dedicated streamer with a separate DAC;3) using a streamer and DAC combined in one product.many pros and cons ei... | |
| Going to try digital Budget? Do you want a streamer / DAC all in one, or a DAC that can accept more digital inputs? And do you have a Pre Amp? It’s easier to make suggestions if all of that is defined | |
| DAC Repair Are you using the same Power cord for both units? I recently had a Pre Amp that flickered and apparently died, and when I tried a back up Pre amp it had a loud hum. Changing the Power Cord fixed both units | |
| Roon Nucleus I second that.I have spent a significant amount of time these Holidays dealing with yet another Bluesound snafu.. I have wasted more time with this product and am looking to move on...plug and play sounds good to me. | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING? Absolutely Calvin. I just added a new Anthem AVR to replace my 10 year old Onkyo in my HT System, and damn I’m enjoying the joys of improved DACs and room correction. So even in midfi it’s possible to really appreciate improvements. | |
| Beware of SACD Transports -- they probably will not work with your favorite DAC Jafant yes, I prefer the Sony/Bryston combination to the stand alone Sony SACD | |
| New comer looking for help to buy!! Anthem installed today...major sonic upgrade | |
| I want to dump my Oppo; but... OP I would sell the Ayre and get a Bryston DAC3. The Oppo can be a transport for it, and can be used as a streamer. The Oppo can output DSD from SACD, play Usb, and the Bryston is a killer DAC . This is my setup, and I don’t know what the Ayre... | |
| Beware of SACD Transports -- they probably will not work with your favorite DAC I’m wondering if the OP bought the Grandioso. It’s a two chassis transport that feeds a two chassis separate DAC via HDMI cables. The transport is 33K Euros and the two DACs together are the same. It’s reviewed in the January issue of Hi Fi New... | |
| Beware of SACD Transports -- they probably will not work with your favorite DAC I should clarify that I play my Oppo 105 and Sony SACD Player over HDMI into the Bryston DAC3 | |
| Beware of SACD Transports -- they probably will not work with your favorite DAC I have a Bryston DAC3 which has 4 HDMI inputs. I play the DSD layer of SACD from an Oppo 105 and a Sony 5400 ES..If the OP truly has an SACD Transport (no DAC) then it must send the DSD via I2S or HDMI | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING? Well, in the spirit of the New Year, I will try to tone my sarcasm down. Hopefully this resolution lasts until at least the end of the week. Seriously, there should be a place where people who want to spend a lot of money on Audio can post and f... | |
| Lumin D2 Regarding the Lumin app....I just read the Six Moons Review and it States that”Classical Music Lovers will simply be unable to search by Composer.” Is that still the case? |
