| DAC or CD Player. Help! Rsa, as with oddiofyl, and something I should have mentioned prior, I also use my DAC for both a disc player and computer audio (via USB/SPDIF converter). I enjoy the synergy my DAC brings together with my Pre, amp, and speakers. This synergy s m... | |
| DAC or CD Player. Help! I agree that if a disc players transport and digital output is functioning as it should, the DAC used would likely make the greatest contribution to the sonics provided.I believe that the concept of synergy in the development of a audio system is ... | |
| Replacing a MAC Mini with new one... Thanks for the confirmation Spencer! As I have time prior to making a move, I plan on continuing my research on this, and looking into the possibility of a server. There is a Bryston BDP-1 for sale here on AG. May look into that as an alternative... | |
| Replacing a MAC Mini with new one... Sbank, I have and continue to consider other options. Would consider a basic server that could read AIFF files off a HD. Kijanki, thanks much for your input. I am using BCN connection between converter and DAC, direct connection w/o cable. I have ... | |
| Dayton wireless subwoofer kit vs. cable I would go with a cable. May not need to be of equal quality to that of main speaker cables. | |
| Improvement in CD player transports The Acurus could very well have the better transport and deliver sonics closer to your liking however the only concern I would have is its’ age. Often the 1st thing to go on a CD player is the transport or the pickup lens. | |
| DAC or CD Player. Help! The result is a function of the CD transport, the cable used, the DAC and the synergy between the aforementioned. | |
| Replacing a MAC Mini with new one... Kijanki, Since I will use this Mini as a dedicated music server I am thinking I will purchase one with the 250 GB SSD, 8 GB memory, and what ever OS that comes standard. I forgot to mention that I also use Pure Music for playback. Is it your thin... | |
| Replacing a MAC Mini with new one... Onhwy61, My issue is that my Mini was owned by my place of work and I may now be asked to return it. I have not yet found a server that I think would be better without incurring to great an expense.I am thinking that a mini with a smaller SSD for ... | |
| Looking for the good sounding Pre Amplifier I agree with the mismatch between a $3000 pre and your NAD. (I also own an NAD amp and enjoy it so not a knock).There is a used Quicksilver pre for sale here on AG for ~$850. Might check into that. I don’t know seller. | |
| Replacing a MAC Mini with new one... Onhwy61, My current mini has a 0.5 TB drive and I am not sure it will even take a larger one. The thought of getting a used one I would entertain. Tuberist, no offense taken. I know some, or at least think I do, however that can be a trap. Looking... | |
| Simple advice you should have, but didn't follow that made a big difference. Only speakers and room treatment devices occupy the front wall (behind speakers) in my dedicated room. Rack is to my side at listening position. | |
| Blue Circle's PLC -2 Thingee conditioner versus Transparent Audio PLC 6 conditioner???: I like the approach taken by lr57. I have my power amp, preamp, and digital components on separate lines (3 lines). I only use a power conditioner for the digital components. I will check into the BC 86 mk5 filters. Thanks! | |
| Subwoofer Ricred1, I was thinking of trying the F110s. Thought it might be a good match with my MGs. I need to look into them further.Rwwear, I will check out the Velodyne DDs.Thanks! | |
| Subwoofer Ricred1, I hope you don’t mind me chiming in as I have enjoyed this thread and am considering adding a sub to my system.I am driving a pair of Esoteric MG 10s in a room ~12.5 W x 15 D x 8.5 H. Though I am convinced that more than a single sub is b... |
