PS Audio vs NAD M12
@razorbraun..Good call on the S400s.  Just was turned on to them also and probably will pre-order. It will be nice to compare them to the Adante's.Was able to set the attenuation correctly.   I actually still have three concerns with the DSJ...1. ... 
PS Audio vs NAD M12
Out of the box the DSJ sounds amazing. Interesting that I'm praising an end of life product. It is so much better than the M12.Sorry for the NAD quasi-bashing, but here is my feedback.That unit will be going back. I hate to say it, the older techn... 
PS Audio vs NAD M12
I love the the title.  I will have both the M12 and DSJ hooked up this weekend.  I'm in the same boat will post my listening experience.  Both will be used with active speakers (Emotiva Stealth 8s).I also have the M10 in another room and really li... 
Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more
Yes.   Emotivas are active.   I have Monitor Audio SoundFrame in-walls in the HT room.They are nice but may not be a fair speaker to test with the M10 or any of these higher $$ DACs.   May be able to get my hands on some KEF R3s.   That would be a... 
Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more
Jon,Interesting thread.   I'll need to look at Audirvana.   Thanks Edsky.I'll be trying both the DSJ and a NAD M12.   I also have the 7703 and plan on replacing it with the T758v3 for the HT room.  Auditioned the C658 and didn't feel it was that m... 
streaming DACs around $4k
Anyone looking at the NAD M12 or M32 at this price point?  Lumin's T2 uses the same 9028 DAC.I ordered a DSJ but cancelled with all the hype around the TSS.  Also read that MQA wasn't fully unfolded.   I'm sure the PS is awesome, but was worried a...

Tara Lab cables have bad quality control?
What happens if Erik posts again from SF Stereo. Does that mean you'll get twice as much credit.... It is absurd that this problem can't be revolved without you posting your displeasure on the various forums. I would have hoped that SF Stereo woul... 
Tara Lab cables have bad quality control?
Bill,Saw this post over on the Asylum. I would hope that the salesman after verifying that that cable was bad would help out with the problem. SF Stereo has been a Tara dealer for some time and they should be able to work out a satisfactorily reso... 
Equi=Tech balanced power on Meridian system
I just installed an Equitech 2Q with my system and I'm very happy with it. Both audio and video performance has gone to another level. Must have a dedicated circuit for best results (at least in my case).Components:Pioneer PDP505 Faroudja NRSDTC10... 
New B&W Nautilus 804 questions... HELP!
Had the same problem with my N802. B&W does that so they can ship internationally. If there far enough out you can use needle nose pliers. I used a small picture nail and tapped in into the plastic and then carfully pulled it out. Almost like ... 
Inteligent high end cableing
I have the same Proceed components along with B&W N802s,805s. After trying Audioquest, Tara, Synergistic, MIT, I decided on Stealth cables as mentioned in the previous posts. Started with eval'ing the speaker and ended up with using them throu... 
Dedicated power lines for audio?
I recently added a dedicated line along with isolated grounding. A very positive improvement in the sound quality of my system. Highly recommended. I used quite a bit of the information from several of the Audiogon threads. Thanks. The one thing I... 
Speakercable for B&W Nautilius
After considerable auditioning with various speaker cabling, I found the best match with a new company called Stealth Audio Cables (http://www.interlinkhouse.com/). I recommend the you bi-wire your 802s. I tried the Synergistic Research (Resolutio...
