| Maybe tube preamp I enjoy my all tube Jolida Fusion pre coupled to a BEL 1001 MK5. The Fusion sells for $1350 new, rarely come up used. | |
| New CDP or standalone DAC...? Tom, I appreciate. At age 68, I also am 'old school'. | |
| Looking for a music server, sans DAC. I have researched the Vault 2 and have found customer reviews stating that many CDs could not be read (ripped). Has this been addressed by Bluesound? I do think it would make a good candidate for my needs. I believe it would allow for downloading ... | |
| Need help selecting a system with Tidal streaming (Maybe MQA) and speakers for around $1k. I know there are many options for a streamer, however I use my Macbook for streaming, which I don't do much of and therefore can't offer much advice. If looking for one I would likely look towards the Bluesound Node 2. It has it's own DAC and seem... | |
| Need help selecting a system with Tidal streaming (Maybe MQA) and speakers for around $1k. Let's start at the source, forgetting MQA, what inexpensive devices will stream Tidal and other networks into a DAC? | |
| New and searching Great advise so far.Though your listening room is small, it opens to a larger area, therefore it is not a small room, or a square space you are playing into. I would view this as a positive. Can the speakers play into (face) the larger space. Can... | |
| Need help selecting a system with Tidal streaming (Maybe MQA) and speakers for around $1k. I would lean towards the powered speaker option with an all-in one DAC/pre/amp streaming device. I will be looking forward to seeing the recommendations for one. I must say that a laptop computer into a pair of powered speakers serves your situati... | |
| New CDP or standalone DAC...? I understand, I also have other systems for streaming internet files. My main system is for music only and I play primarily redbook CDs via computer (as AIFF files) or transport (will play SACD via analog output). If I was looking for a universal ... | |
| New CDP or standalone DAC...? I may be late here, however for playback of redbook CDs I would consider an outboard DAC. Use the Oppo's analog output for other digital formats. Choose a DAC that can handle other digital formats via streaming that you might consider using in th... | |
| Looking for a good DAC under $500 I agree that at the $500 stated budget the internal BSN2 DAC is likely to be as good. Now, use of an older used DAC having a more robust power supply and better analog output stage, such as the aforementioned Bryston BDA-1 which could be had for $... | |
| Changed amplifiers and need some feedback... If preamp had reverse phase the OP likely would not have had an issue, only when a single channel was out of phase with the other. | |
| Anyone using a Mytek Brooklyn or Manhattan (I or II) DAC as a preamplifier? What DAC can't be used with an integrated or preamp? Are we talking DACs only having variable output? | |
| Amp selection for someone on a modest budget... +1 kalali. Need budget. You have good speakers, what is rest of system? | |
| Amp recommendation and setup advice please Given your amp only has XLR inputs, I would purchase the model that has XLR outputs. Given that the DACs are also preamps, I would try them in my system directly into the amp prior to considering the purchase of a separate pre. Otherwise I would p... | |
| Can you recommend a good Pre-Amp for my audio system? Given your budget, I would consider the purchase of a integrated amp as opposed to using a preamp into the amp within a receiver.Which Joseph Audio speakers do you own?Are you willing to buy used? |
