| Spectral SDR 4000SV owners? @ptss I don’t own one but, I’ve heard it a few times and will do so again soon; In an all Spectral system it was breathtaking for redbook CD playback. I had no idea rebook CD could sound that good. | |
| Y No YG ? @erik_squires To me personally, YG is the most well rounded of all those brands you mentioned. All of those brands share their respective strengths and weaknesses. Everyone also has their own personal tastes as well.However, if you are looking for... | |
| disc player upgrade bug: Esoteric vs EMM vs PS Audio @in_shore What disc player/dac are you considering to replace the PS Audio? | |
| Oppo Ceasing production @vrao81 No, high end audio isn't doomed for young people. High end shouldn't mean high price. Which is what I think you are referring to. If so , then yes. However, Oppo was an example of an affordable and accessible but, good sounding digital... | |
| Oppo Ceasing production Probably has nothing to with the "death " of physical media. If so, why wouldn't Oppo just release a streamer? More than likely has to with trade and tariffs. What the future holds; we don't know. But, probably forced with the decision to raise ... | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric @in_shore The reason I passed on the PS Audio stack (even though was discounted highly off MSRP) was more so the technical glitches you mentioned. In addition, I prefer having a one box digital solution. You might consider checking out the newly... | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric @1graber2 Agree 100x. @milpai Yes, higher end products will sound different but, will they provide the sound you are looking for? And will you will be willing to spend that kind of money in order to achieve it? Furthermore; yes a great source is p... | |
| Anyone tried Vandersteen w/ Spectral? You probably don't see the pairing because many Spectral dealers aren't Vandersteen dealers.You see Ayre paired a lot with Vandersteen. | |
| OPPO vs Marantz SA-14 audio wise @mattmiller Where did you read that Oppo is doing MQA? I’ve never seen any kind of official statement or press release stating that but, it would be nice feature to have. | |
| XLR and DBS (Audioquest) They are worth it and lower the noise floor. The end result is similar to what @folkfreak mentioned. However, I'd try them in your own personal system if you can. System synergy and subjective preferences come to play. As with a controversial c... | |
| EMM LABS DAC 2X v2 @tomr1 Are you using the USB input? If so, its supposed to be much improved on this new version. I'm considering a used DAC 2X and would eventually upgrade to the V2 if I decide to go this route. | |
| Spectral SDR-3000 @gpgr4blu wow I assume you are referring to the new " SV" CD player ? Also what MIT /Spectral cables did you end up getting? | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland @tom_hankins What qualities of Audionet did you like? In addition, what SS brands have compared it to? | |
| Shiit yggdrasil The OP has compared the Schiit DAC to much higher end and pricey Dacs. We also have posters on this thread that are using very high resolving speakers like Wilson and own the Schiit. Peronsally, thats enough for me to try this DAC and hopefully ... | |
| Shiit yggdrasil @darknightdk Thanks. Yes I've also read about the Yggy's break in time and such. It's very re assuring to know that someone with really high end speakers as yourself is speaking and vouching for a DAC with a much lower MSRP then what some but ce... |
