| PM'ing other members @elizabeth Fair enough. You should be able to participate in the forum and be respected for your time and contributions like any other audiophile, and shouldn't have to modify your behavior to deal with idiots. 5068 posts should stand for something. | |
| Dac Technology Mature? @frozentundra @jond Thanks for your kind words. PS Audio make some nice gear, though their designs as you pointed out have limited upgradeability. I see firmware updates for the dac as a kind of pandora’s box; you could just as easily subjectively... | |
| Dac Technology Mature? In my opinion, manufactures are doing everything they can to "get a leading edge" in technology - instead of focussing on music. Overall the dac chips gives very little to the complete sound. I would say the digital part in total would contribute ... | |
| Amarra Player vs Tidal Streaming I’m also keep to hear how Tidal compares to audiophile cd’s ripped to JRiver? Though I note you can also listen to Tidal though Jriver - https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/WDM_Driver Apropos the above, does anyone know if Roon be linked to Jriver... | |
| Value of burn/break in? @easola01, I previously bought a new Ayon CD-5s tube cdp which I ran as a rbcd player & line stage. To accelerate the break in process I ran an Isotek Full System Enhancer cd when I was at work or out of the house. It is supposed to more thoro... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under The best rocking speakers under $15k are still in the design phase over at PS Audio & will be based on Arnie Nudell’s final speaker project; the ’IRS-killer’. Those speakers will have active servo-controlled bass drivers & Paul tells me th... | |
| Strange Soundstage Problem - It Is "Shifted' to the Right Only With Digital Source I had a look at the owners manual for your Streamer @alhidell. My first thoughts are, have you tried doing a factory reset? The steps are on page 4 for the Node 2 model. A bit of bitch as you lose your settings, but worth a try. If not, It would b... | |
| Tube vs SS: Mcintosh MC275 VI vs Bryston 7B3 driving Magico S1 MkI Magico needs warm, slightly laid back ss amps with good power, or some tubes in the mix to sound their best imho. Though I heard the new Boulder 1100 series amps with the S3 Mk2's recently & thought that was a really good match. Personally my ... | |
| Why is my dnx6160 have a black and gray screen? I think I have your HU's bigger brother, the DNX8160DABS. I had a similar issue occur with my old Kenwood HU (DNX7330BT), but only to the SatNav software. I had followed the instructions to the letter whilst upgrading the firmware and the satnav w... | |
| Looking for a high end integrated to suit Dynaudio contour 5.4's A nice write up on your auditions @plb02. Your comments pretty much reflect my listening notes from my shootout of the bigger separates at Class A Audio, though I wasn’t as taken with the Luxman’s mids as you. For me it just lacked a little class ... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Focal Kanta 2 @ei001h, the Elipsa’s are a full range speaker. Even my old Infinity Reference 60’s were considered full range & they only dug down to 42Hz. I was eluding to my current speakers which have frequency response from 20Hz - 50kHz, and are +/- 2db ... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Focal Kanta 2 jackd92 posts07-28-2018 9:43amCongrats you got what you wanted. They will be just fine with your McIntosh gear. + 1. The Elipsa’s are certainly beautiful looking creations. Personally I prefer a more full range speaker, and philosophically prefer ... | |

| YG Acoustics, Raihdo? The YG’s sound coherent, throw a wide and deep sound stage, are hyper detailed, have deep punchy bass & are neutral if that’s your thing . Their latest generation of tweeters are smoother and better integrated. I didn’t like the first generato... |
