| Merason dac MK1 on audio mart I know the seller identified here a little bit and found him to be a very nice guy. We are obviously just getting one side of the story... PayPal is pretty much always going to rule in favor of the buyer (partly why sellers don't like it...PP has... | |
| Check This Out! If he’s both distributor and dealer on this product as well, his margin will definitely cover home demos. Listen for yourself at home, forget show conditions. Be sure you like it, this will have minimal value on the secondhand market… | |
| From Rossini Apex to ???? Consider the playback designs mpd8 I used to own the Tambaqui and the MU1 (lost interest in the MU2) Below is a Rossini apex owner opinion (I know a couple others who came to same conclusion…) https://youtu.be/-64u03HryVw?si=9phTSoU_vRBPxLla | |
| Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC To the OP, I suggest you reach out to Bliss Acoustics in Canada. Owner is a gentleman and he carries some amazing stuff, including but not limited to Playback Designs on the digital side. | |
| Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC @bigfatpaulie Really enjoyed your listening notes, thx for sharing! +1 on Playback Designs...sounds like you heard the MPS-8 if it also has a CD drive? I've been listening to the latest MPD-8 for an extended home demo and suspect it may be a kee... | |
| Advice on Sterling LS3/6 Buy them. No brainer at that price, given your goals / budget. Gig Harbor Audio will make nice stands for you that will further upgrade them. I am very familiar with the Hughes designed Graham LS8/1, which many BBC connoisseurs feel is the pinna... | |
| Best upgrade path from Borresen X3s Borresen and their sister company products (in particular cables / accessories) can have close to an 80% margin...that’s why your dealer is giving you 100% trade credit. Borresen / Raidho are infamous for this. You seem like somebody who likes to ... | |
| Ebay selling my missing amplifier This is not necessarily fraud. Cargo Largo specializes in re-selling lost shipments. Their whole business model is buying lost UPS / Fedex / etc packages at auction for pennies on the dollar and re-selling those items. I suspect that they are obl... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @drubin I don’t think you can run two Roon cores on the same network, without confusing your endpoint (and I’m not aware of being able to disable the Roon core in the Grimm) If memory serves, the Part Time Audiophile review of the Grimm mentioned... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend Thank you, and to clarify I agree there is no absolute best, just a personal “best” that varies from person to person and system to system. What you say about the character of Playback and Weiss makes sense. | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend How does the Weiss Helios compare to the Playback Designs MPD-8? On the forum with "best" in the name, I saw that one dealer of both brands preferred the Playback (even just the MPD-6 with USB-X4) for being more dynamic and "analog", and harmonica... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? Check out Gig Harbor Audio just outside Seattle… Under 10k, they carry Graham, Audio Note, Devore and Roger’s in the non fatiguing category… I’m partial to the Graham LS8/1 myself. Harbeths are nice but I feel the Grahams are rather more special | |
| Nagra streamer in Munich 2024 Will be interested to learn more about what it is. Is it “only” a streamer? Or is it also a clock regenerator / buffer / D to D converter, a la its cousin, the Playback Designs streamer. At the price and based on current description, I’m guessing ... | |
| DCS Bartok APEX or LINA and master clock @jc51373 You seem like a delight enjoy whatever it is you use — apparently its Totaldac Not bad, if you haven’t heard better | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. Calvin, did you hear the full Infigo setup at Axpona? I had a listen. What did you think? |
