Wow guys, gone for a week and right back to PCM vs R2R again. George must be here, lol. This is NOT a thread on R2R vs PCM technolog. Nor is it a thread on why R2R is the ONLY design that should be used, George. I don’t believe in absolutes. As I ...

I have to admit this Mystique V3 is growing on me. It’s stupid good for the money! It has a sense of natural presentation, texture and harmonics while still attaining accuracy and clarity that is hard to achieve. It’s intimate when it needs to be,...

Evaluation of the Mojo Mystique V3: Benjamin of Mojo Audio was kind enough to send me a Mojo Audio Mystique V3 ladder chip PCM only DAC (Spec’s at bottom of report). Converts up to 24/192 via a USB, Coax or Toslink input. Comes in 2 flavors: singl...

Toetap - I lied. I do know the CenterStage. They are not actually from Pitch Perfect, they are from Critical Mass racks distributed exclusively by Pitch Perfect. They are a footer version of their constrained layer damping shelf technology. As suc...

For those waiting on DAC info, I am working on the Mojo evaluation. Getting closer. I have arranged for a toptier Tidal DAC to grace my room. And I’m still trying to find the time to audition the full TotalDAC twelve system. I’ve been hearing rave...

Update on my Rack endeavors.....We did the big move. The rack is now upfront between the speakers. Many nay-sayers have quoted me the age old concept that the rack goes anywhere but between the speakers. I designed my custom listening room with th...

Wig - looks intriguing. Congrats on what sounds like a great find. There are a few special dac’s our there that truly perform above their price point. Think Schitt, Mojo, Empirical Audio, Exogal and a few others just beyond the tip of my brain.......

Tkchaq - I tried and reported on the Bordeaux. They are awesome. I have a set under my Torus power conditioner. Elizabeth - although the inexpensive tweaks can sometimes make an improvement, they can also make the sound worse. Just because it’s ru...
