T+A PA 3100 HV owners question
@macg19  Thanks for circling back to let us know what you found. Helpful to all forum participants. I haven’t heard the Voodoo personally, but have read of others having very good experience with them. Congrats! It’s an extraordinary amp for sur... 
T+A DAC200 vs PSAudio Direct Stream MkII vs MCD12000?
I think you have a good plan for this. I thought I would mention that you may very well find the DAC200 spectacular on PCM with your Aurender unit. Many do.  There are so many variables. The quality of the streamer (you have a very good one), and... 
T+A DAC200 vs PSAudio Direct Stream MkII vs MCD12000?
@mhwilliford  My apologies for not being clearer. I think the DAC200 and PS Audio to be competitors. The Mac was the outlier - sorry for the confusion. As I noted, I haven’t heard the PS Audio unit, but understand it to be quite good. I’ve owne... 
T+A DAC200 vs PSAudio Direct Stream MkII vs MCD12000?
That is an unusual trio for comparison so I’m not surprised you haven’t received any feedback. I’m curious: have you heard all three DACs or are you considering auditioning these three and are wondering if they’re appropriate choices for considera... 
What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good.
I’ve heard three DACs considered to be superior: the T+A SDV 3100 HV, the Ideon Absolute and the Linn Klimax DSM/3. However, only one of those I heard in my system - the T+A unit. They were all liquid and smooth, but none convinced me (as of yet) ... 
AXPONA 2024
I was there Saturday and wasn’t able to see all I wanted but am glad i went. The Estelon/Vitus was quite good - wish I had spent more time there. The Auralic ESD horns I thought sounded “cupped” - typical horn colorations which surprised me. Not... 
Axpona 2024 who is going and why?
I was there Saturday - my 2nd time attending. Good fun but as most note - very difficult to hear something, much less properly in a well set up room. And, not much time as I was trying to see/hear a fair amount. So, take with a grain of salt or tw... 
T+A PA 3100 HV owners question
I’m guessing I’m not going to be much help, but you do have me wondering. I have the PA3100 HV, but upgraded all my cables - and my distributor to Nordost at one time after auditioning things piecemeal. But I never tried the upgraded cable on just... 
15k for streamer and dac....how much on each?
@oldracer  I too have the DAC200. Have you tried giving it DSD files? I’m not sure if the Lumin has the capability of file conversion or if you have a computer you could put HQplayer on to then give to the Lumin. But, the DAC200 sounds even bette... 
15k for streamer and dac....how much on each?
It’s always fascinating to read through these threads.  A number of posters have stated it’s a waste to spend money on a streamer. I’d be curious as to how many better quality streamers they’ve actually tried in their own system.  To some of us,... 
15k for streamer and dac....how much on each?
There are certainly no absolutes though @ricred1 details an experience closer to my own.  Every DAC has a favored input type and file type. Use the wrong one and streamers may sound the same. Use the right one and you might enjoy the appreciable ... 
T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp
@cundare2  If you ultimately decide upon purchasing the T+A unit, I suggest you connect with Juan @blisshifi. I purchased my DAC200 from him and had a particularly good experience. He’s not pushy, and is pretty thoughtful about helping a customer...

@cundare2  no experience to share as I never needed it.  Best,  
T+A's new R 2500 R integrated amp
@cundare2  My apologies for the tardy response. You asked what speakers I was driving with my original R2000. Those were KEF Reference 3s. I now have Sonus Faber Serafinos. The KEFs are good speakers and benefited from a fair amount of power. My ...
