| What’s the most badass $2k amp I can get? The McCormack would be hard to beat at $2100. | |
| Streaming + DAC questions. Please help this noob! I bought a Cambridge Audio CXN streamer to use with my Pure Audio Lotus 5 DAC. While the sound is great the Cambridge Audio app options are horrendously non functional. I then bought an Auris Blume Bluetooth receiver to connect to the DAC and cou... | |
| Blown away with 2 speakers hifi sound! Enjoy what you are hearing and ignore the nay sayers as there are too many of those on this forum. | |
| Could this be one reason tubes (and perhaps records) sound better? Thank you for your wisdom Mr Dylan | |
| Looking for inexpensive preamp Second Van Alstine but if out of your price range have a look at Y S Audio out of Hong Kong. I had their basic tube pre for a number of years and with a tube change to NOS RCAs it was great, almost as good as the Van Alstine I bought to replace it... | |
| Recommendations for high quality Streaming Audio: I have a Cambridge Audio CXN v2 which, while more expensive, beat the spots off the Bluesound Node 2i. Downside the app is crap and while I was told they are working on a new app, 3 months on and it still hasn't happened. The Bluesound however is... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? How about you prove him wrong? | |
| Where would be a good place to buy& sell used audio equipment? Second Audiomart but also StereoNet but maybe USA doesn't have a StereoNet | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? You misunderstand. I agree that on ethical or moral issues everyone has a right to an opinion and that is what I said. However I question the validity of opinions with regard to fake cable quality or sound without having seen or heard the cables i... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? When I started this thread I mentioned that I had the chance to compare fake Cardas Clear Light interconnects with the real thing and could hear no difference. I have since tried the fake Nordost Odins and find them to be better than the fake Card... | |
| Tubes or not If you really want a tube dac I would second the Orchid. However if you have a tube pre or power amp the Pure Audio Lotus 5 beats the lot and you can probably get Wally at Underwood Hi Fi to sell for $1599 and maybe less. | |
| Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions? I agree it depends on the recording. I have heard lousy supposed hi rez and SACD and great Redbook and vice versa. | |
| What's a really great Streamer/DAC box for just streaming Tidal? I have a Cambridge Audio CXN 2. The sound is great but the Cambridge Audio App which you need if you are to use a smart phone as a remote is crap. Tidal's App is not great but much better than that from Cambridge ( made in China not the UK). | |
| Will I notice a difference? Let's stir this question up a bit. Are external dacs the latest audio incarnation of the Emperor's New Suit of Clothes? | |
| Will I notice a difference? Nice idea but I think Linear Tube Audio would be disinclined to lend out a DAC to Australia. As Mhdt are based in Taiwan I would have more chance getting a unit from them but very, very unlikely. The company has no representation in Australia. If ... |
