| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps Thanks auroravengeance. All interesting suggestions. Not looking for an integrated though. | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps @ bluethinker Dynaudio Heritage was on my shortlist. Never got to hear them though, which is just as well. I know i'll enjoy the QLN a lot more. | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? @soix I've thought about it but I'm short real estate in that system and looking to eliminate boxes. I'm actually thinking about going with something like the Aurender A15. Now before you pull out the flame thrower, the A15 uses the N200 stream... | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? @soix 👍 presently using an N150 with a Pontus II for a dedicated headphone system and N200 with a Terminator II in a speaker system. So yes I'm both an Aurender and Denafrips fan boy. @wolfgarcia no snobbery here. I've owned both a DacMagic 200... | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps Are you still around bluethinker? In one of my previous comments above i mentioned lusting after your speakers. Well as the old saying goes ask and you shall receive. Last night I was able to find a brand new in the box pair of QLN Prestige One ... | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? 75 years old here. Go for it. You only live once. | |
| New- HiFi ROSE RS130 Ultimate Network Transport Seems like there are some bad reports circulating regarding HiFi Rose and their model 150 which is too bad. Seemed like a very interesting kit when it first came out and I almost tried one. I guess I should be glad I didn’t. This unit looks int... | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? And after re-reading what I said above, i could have been clearer in my point. | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? Soix, i've been on a similar journey and had similar results as you. I'm currently way beyond the streaming and DAC components I mentioned earlier. I was only trying to relate an experience I had that could improve upon the OP's current situation... | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? Have to disagree soix. I did just that using my phone as a streamer into an Ares II. It sounded almost as good as using a Node to stream in the same setup. Never tried the Zen but can't imagine things changing that much. But maybe they could. ... | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? Install USB Audio Player Pro on your phone and connect via usb to the DAC. I believe the app is 5 bucks. Forget about airport x or your computer. You’ll be pleasantly surprised. | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? And forget measurements, just listen!! | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? I have owned the DacMagic 200 that you mention as well a Denafrips Ares II and Schiit Bifrost 2 mentioned by others. The DacMagic is the least expensive of the 3 and can be found for under $500. The Ares and Bifrost will cost a little bit more,... | |
| Aurender integrated streamer/DACs Agree that the A200 needs to be broken in. However, even out of the box there should be a night and day difference between the two, in favor of Aurender. Could it be a defective player? Have you contacted Aurender? They should be able to troubl... | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps Just to clarify a little more what I started out trying to say above, what I should have asked is what warm and lush amps have you heard that you’re trying to replicate?Assuming you didn’t like the CJ sound you mentioned in your other thread doesn... |
