| New DACs High End Munich 2023 Good to know @jayctoy . Thanks! @anzaanimalclinic , Thank You for the feedback on the Terminator Plus and the configs that you use. Very interesting, that the I2S now sounds flat compared to the USB. I have generally heard that I2S sounds bett... | |
| IsoAcoustics Gaia Footers AND Townshend Seismic Podiums The first thing that came to mind was when Nikon introduced the VR (vibration reduction) lenses. It was advised that VR is effective when hand-holding the camera while taking the picture. If the camera is on a tripod the VR might not be effective ... | |
| TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ? Review and measurement Came across this today. | |
| Ethernet Switch- what's the point? Interesting thread and have a question: I have a Motorola Modem and Asus ZenWifi mesh routers. I have a switch near the router and I have hard wired the smart TV, Roku, NAS, etc, and one of the ports from this switch has a cat6 cable connected to... | |
| Okto DAC 8 Stereo (Shout-out) @raysmtb1 , Thank You for willing to take time to upload the pics. It is very commendable on your part to accept the fact that a DAC like Okto can equal or better a DCS DAC. It is very hard for people to accept this fact. And I did check the ad ... | |
| Okto DAC 8 Stereo (Shout-out) Good to know @audioman58 . Shows how people have different perspectives and listening preferences. | |
| Okto DAC 8 Stereo (Shout-out) @shooter41, What custom voltage did you order? I know that this option comes at an extra cost. @raysmtb1, Would love to see pics of Okto in your system. Looks like lot of fun with this DAC in your system. How long has it been, that you have own... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @vinocour I was surprised why this DAC did not take the audiophile world by storm. Maybe it was a bit too early in the digital world and we were not ready for it then? While some folks were enamored with it, but not a huge following like rest... | |
| Okto DAC 8 Stereo (Shout-out) @shooter41 , I would be very eager to hear back from you once you get this DAC. At this point I have not made up my mind about a specific DAC. While the T+A DAC 200 is on top of my list, it is a bit out of budget. There are others too, but the Okt... | |
| Okto DAC 8 Stereo (Shout-out) I always wondered why this DAC does not generate as much discussion as it probably should. My guess is the cost for this is low enough that people ignore it? But of late they have these in stock. One more reason could be that they might come up w... | |
| Herbies tube damper tightness @ketchup , that seems TOO tight. As @dill mentioned, you might want to stretch them slightly so that they can be rolled (but not easily) over the tube. | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @pindac , I am not sure if I would prefer valve in my DAC. Valve in preamp is the best I can do. I do not want valves in my amp or DAC. And the Merason does not do DSD and hence is a non-starter for me. But Thank You for the suggestion. | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 Hi @badgerdms , I use the Mazda greyplates from 1960s. I got them from Jesse Brent with extended warranty. Andy at Backert is a genuine and very helpful guy. I have talked to hm at length. Did you get the HP tubes from him? If yes, how do you like... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @jayctoy , I have been reading glowing reviews about this DAC for some time now. When this DAC was introduced, there was 1 user who had mentioned that they prefered the DAC 8 DSD over the DAC 200. But 99% of the users who own this DAC have nothing... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 Looks like the world's supply chain issues are over - now that the Okto DAC is readily available to be purchased on their site for the past 2 weeks. While this is something that I can purchase right now, I am heavily leaning towards the T+A, espec... |
