| Success Rolling Opamps in EE Minimax DAC Mr T.I tried the OPA2107 (dual) in the position that feeds the tubes and think that this might be up your ally. Much greater bass extension with a less in your face sound vs. stock chip and esp. vs. the 49720 which I also tried. They also come in ... | |
| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? Is your floor a suspended wood floor? Can you get under it?If yes to both, the biggest thing you can do to improve the bass is to brace the floor.I have two 12' long 4x4s running front to back, (13' deep room) about 5' apart, perpendicular to the ... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... What did you think of the Digital Amp Company Cherry Plus?It has consistently bettered all Class D I have compared it to - Spectron, Channel Island, Wyred, Rotel.Was so much better than the Modwright 100SE in my system.Curious to hear what was lac... | |
| ModWright KWA 100 In my system the KWA-100 was resoundingly bettered by a Digital Amp Co. Cherry Plus. When the KWA was put in, people looked puzzled and wondered where the bass went. Yup, it just went away but maybe not a fair comparison vs. 700 watts of class D. ... | |

| Eastern Electric's new tube DAC using ESS Sabre?? My bad, I thought that when you said "Alternatively, theres a lot of incentive to gravitate toward music websites like Rhapsody, or one of my new favorites, Lastfm.com; the final outcome as treated by the Minimax is theoretically better than your... | |
| Eastern Electric's new tube DAC using ESS Sabre?? Hi Doug, Thanks for the reply,You are correct that I haven't been able to compare redbook vs. hi-rez directly, but I have heard many hi-rez sources and they certainly do things better than most any of my redbook sources, which clearly sound better... | |
| Eastern Electric's new tube DAC using ESS Sabre?? OK, just quickly reread the review. I see that you were simply playing redbook material that had either been upsampled to 24/192 or left at 16/44. This is completely different from comparing 16/44 vs. higher-rez data. No suprize to me that 16/44 t... | |
| Eastern Electric's new tube DAC using ESS Sabre?? Doug,No, nothing that I could know came from the same master. I'll have to reread the review to see if/how you accomplished this. It just seems like most everything I have in high-rez has a walk-around/walk-through soundstage that I rarely if ever... | |
| Eastern Electric's new tube DAC using ESS Sabre?? Doug - The 24/48 or 24/96 files I play through my EE dac sound significantly better than redbook. I just don't see how the dac can create additional data simply because it's 32 bit. Calling for the death of high-rez digital because we have 32 bit ... | |
| Ditching anti-skate? I ditched it on my ProJect Perspective Carbon and it sounds much better w out that dangly thing attached to the tonearm. Makes me think that there must be a better way... -Mike | |

| Tubes on top and Class D on the bottom I say go for it! I did the same w/ my VR4-JRs, using a VAC tube amp on top and a Digital Amplifier Co. Cherry amp for the bass. If the gains are close enough, it works great. Tried a monster Carver SS amp on the bass but it was dramatically outper... | |
| Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you? You may want to check out the Digital Amplifier Company's products. Many users have commented about the superiority of the DAC amps relative to ICE and UcD amps from Channel Islands, Wyred, etc. Massive linear pwr supplies.While I am friends w/ th... | |
| Logitech Squeezebox Touch DAC: How Good? I have found that WAV files ripped with dB poweramp sound better than those ripped with EAC- More dimensional, better imaging etc. Using Touch analog outs into preamp. |
