| Best affordable Linear Power Stage Folks, can you provide some help please, to understand the "wattage" of a switching power supply and equivalent linear power supply? I use the HDPlex 400W HiFi DC-ATX in my fanless PC build, which runs the HQ Player. Currently I use a Dell 330W p... | |
| Primare A35.2 Check YouTube and you should find Piega demo their $90k line source speakers with this amplifier with Inakustik cables, at Munich audio show. Munich 2019 | |
| Does loudness play a part in your appreciation? @rvpiano , I don’t think 70db is “loud”. I designate that as “enjoyable”. I listen to anywhere between 65db to 75db, like you rightly said, to “make me get more involved in the music”. | |
| SACD Player/Transport Choices Shingling has recently released Onix Zenith XST20 SACD transport for $2299. I believe, it does the following: TOSLINK CD PCM 44.1kHz // SACD: DSD64 DoP or D2P Coaxial CD PCM 44.1kHz // SACD: DSD64 DoP or D2P BNC CD PCM 44.1kHz // SACD: DSD... | |
| Backart Labs Rhumba Extreme version 1.4 Linestage Tubed Preamplifier Base on my 6+ years experience with the Backert Labs Rhumba, I will say that you will be thrilled with either the Rhumba, Extreme or the Rhythm. Of course, as you go up the chain, it gets better. I have never heard people being disappointed by Bac... | |
| Looking for a new DAC @audioman58 , Did you get yourself the T+A DAC200, for which you had been saving for quite a while? | |
| Experiences with Oppo Service? Strange experience, I must say. Till date I had heard only of very good experience from folks who needed Oppo service. Let's hope this is one off. Not sure how many will read your complete post - wish you had some paragraphs and broken down the l... | |
| new Parasound A21+ vs my old Rotel RB-1080 Parasound is having a sale on siver. Audiogon moderator just removed the post. I read that post. Sounded like an advertisement and I expected it to be removed. Strange thing that the poster was using a Bryston amplifier, and posting Parasound. | |
| I am sad I find it strange that OP is not mentioning the company. I have seen on this forums, that folks help finding another “source” for parts , etc. Not sure why OP is in self-pity mode. The company doesn’t give a damn about the OP; else they would ha... | |
| Aurender N200 and HQPlayer @mintakax , I don’t think you would get an answer for your question on this forum. You should definitely post this on Audiophilestyle forum. That’s a tech forum, and will most likely provide you with answers you are seeking. | |
| ProAc D20R vs Totem Forest Signature You are welcome @romad. I will say that if you can swing the D30RS, then go for it. Are you buying local or online? Do you have a chance to listen to both? | |
| ProAc D20R vs Totem Forest Signature If you are using a sub, then the D20R will thrill you a lot. Make sure to go with the ribbon tweeters. They produce uncanny minds and realism. | |
| Dynamic Duo: T+A DAC 200 and Lumin U2 (not the mini) Hq player seems a little confusing with reports of large delays when upscaling to higher resolutions @benzman The filters you talk about are Sinc-L and similar. You really do not need to use those. I use ASDM7EC-fast and results are superb. A... | |
| Dynamic Duo: T+A DAC 200 and Lumin U2 (not the mini) As far as HQ player, I used to have my iMac in the chain but prefer the simplicity of having the Roon Nucleus and Lumin in the chain to convert to DSD. There are number of folks who are doing this and super satisfied with the results. | |
| DAC recommendation for DSD input @mintakax, I think of all the DACs mentioned above, the T+A, the Holo May and Mola Mola would be the ones to check out. I was ready to pay $$$ to those DACs that bring uniqueness to the table. I don't think you will be disappointed at any of thes... |
