| where best to spend $2-3000 upgrade dollars in my system Good plan! If considering dedicated lines into room you might try plugging your amps and preamp directly into outlet, bypassing power conditioner. Use power conditioner for digital gear. Results vary depending on quality of power coming to house. ... | |
| New dac Regarding the DAC question, I believe your DL3 mates well with your system. To better it would cost much more and may not return on that value unless you upgrade the rest of the system. As I said earlier, the DL3's weak link is the USB input. At ... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps You provide very little information on your situation for one to provide reasonable advice. Regarding the amplifiers under consideration:These are low watt amplifiers to be mated to speakers with high sensitivity and a benign impedance load. Also ... | |
| New dac You have a very nice and well balanced system. The weak link on the PS DL 3 is the USB input. I assume you are using the DAC in the Node 2 for streaming purposes and the DL3 with your CD player as transport. I sold my first DL3 about 5 years ago, ... | |
| Cd Player Choices To Match Up to Vintage Electronics Best way to upgrade is to go to a single disc player. Check out the Onkyo 7030 (I believe model number is correct) which sells for ~$170 new and is well built. | |
| An experiment worked; how to proceed? Another acoustic treatment company, ATS Acoustics in Piper City Illinois. They sell completed treatment products and also DIY supplies. Their web site serves well. | |
| DAC recommendations for CDs in 2-channel system Scoran, sorry so late in getting back to you. I understand your hesitation after reading the technical review.

| Shiit Loki I ordered a Loki yesterday. Have 3 systems and a headphone system to try it out. Will get back to all when accomplished. | |
| Shiit Loki Thanks Wolf. My brother is getting a new system and his living room is an audio nightmare. I have instructed him regarding floor coverings, curtains, and making DIY sound panels. I believe the Loki 8Khz tone control may come in handy also. | |
| Shiit Loki How use of the Loki about taming the upper frequencies in a room with tile floors and many windows? | |
| DAC recommendations for CDs in 2-channel system Why not upgrade to one of Schiit's multibit DACs the fits your price range. One can always find a replacement for a CD player to be used as a transport when yours 'craps' out. | |
| Hifiman HE560 Raymonda, thanks for the tip. I ordered the $20 leather pads for my 400S cans.. | |
| Headphones to Improve Upon AKG-Q701s Well, I purchased a Schiit Audio Magni headphone amplifier for a starter. Using it on the low gain setting. Very please with the combination with the 400S. Amazing the audio quality that can be achieved at this price point. | |
| Hifiman HE560 Raymonda, I recently bought the 400S which came with the leather ear pads. Really enjoy these phones, however not sure how they differ from the original 400. Almost went for the 560, however purchased the 400S for such a good deal (used) thought i... |
