| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Mark and Will. Let’s put this conversation to bed for now. I’m honoring your suggestion and giving it a try. Most would have just shut you down altogether. I don’t want a half a page discussion about a $30- DAC here. I’ll post my findings just to ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ok. Markolino. For $30- amazon prime, I’ll bite. It’s ordered. Hopefully this miracle $30- DAC will help me wake up from the 30 years of useless audiophile wandering I’ve clearly experienced. I can’t wait for my eyes to be opened to this Behrenger... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Wow. Leave the house alone for a few weeks and look what happens. Lol. Ok. I’ve been enjoying the crap out of my earthshatteringly good Davinci 2. I cant explain how good it is other then to say that it creates visual cues within the layers of mus... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I love tube stuff Aziz. I just chose to avoid tubes for my own personal system because I have a propensity to obsess about trying everything and would end up falling down the rabbit hole of tube rolling. I was quite impressed by the Golden Gate I ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Toetap- apologies for not clarifying. Both. I compared the S1 using its spdif output into my DAC versus the N10 using its spdif output into my DAC.

Heres the skinny:Lumin S1 - sexy, heavy, built like a fine Swiss Watch! Separate dedicated LPS built equally w... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks Mitch2, great stuff right there. And thanks Dave, for always adding just the correct amount of dealer input and offer without overdoing it! It's great having enthusiasts, dealers and manufacturers all here to add and help this thread to pro... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I have not heard the LaScala or the T&A, but both have great reputations. The Playback Designs Merlot is certainly worth hearing as well. And as long as DSD is not needed, the Empirical Overdrive SE is outrageously good!!! On the cheap end of ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Price can be everything, or nothing. (Oooh, that's deep!)I don't judge a DAC on price or chip design. I believe that there are good delta Sigma DAC's and bad R2R's. It's the implementation, not the parts that make a DAC good, bad or great.Most of ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD NiteWulf - I’m currently on a Light Harmonic Davinci 2. It arrived about a month ago and I’m still burning it in. I also am getting my old standby ODSX back from Maestro Steve for an update he just implemented that supposedly has made a significan... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Teaser:I have completed my evaluation of the Lumin S1 server/DAC (using both its internal DAC as well as its spdif output to my Davinci 2 DAC) and just plugged in and started burning in a Melco N1ZH/2 music server. I will give it a solid week of b... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Toetapaudio (love the username!)The implementation of MQA is fascinating. And the point made about MQA developing a stronghold on the audio/music industry is even more fascinating; and a precedent has been set with Apple in that regards. I underst... | |
