| R2R next? Don't like ESS "I was the proud and very happy owner of a MSB Platinum Signature DAC (based on a proprietary R2R topology) for many years. I was lucky enough to find it in 2021 for $7,000... I am back to MSB, this time with their "entry" offering, the "Discrete... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS Schiit has the Modi Multibit 2 DAC for $300 brand new. I had one and can recommend it. | |
| Digital Advice I have a WiiM Ultra streamer/DAC and think it is fantastic for the money, which is well under your budget cap. And you can buy it on Amazon which offers free returns if it doesn't float your boat. For me, it falls in the "there is no reason not ... | |
| Is the Lyrion Music Server (formerly Logitech) any good for the not-computer-savvy I've used LMS (and its prior incarndations) for two decades now and have been very pleased with it. I've used it with Windows and Linux, though never Mac. Note the LMS program runs in the background and is accessed though its web page -- somethi... | |
| Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? @audio_bidder -- besides the exposure of physical damage or theft, don't forget you'll probably also want to purchase general liability coverage. There is the chance the unit's power supply could be damaged in shipping and end up shocking someone ... | |
| Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu I currently have Ohms and have no urge to change. | |
| Ohm Walsh Tall Speakers near Washington, DC? >> "I can't send messages here in response to yours. Not sure why but its a thing." The people who run this place have long been paranoid that someone will try to sell or buy something outside of their system. Phone numbers are one of their... | |
| It is December 1, 2024 - Do you know where your Caladans are???? Hasn't Clayton provided a status update on the issue? While parts are either available or not, providing periodic updates to your customers seems a basic "business 101" item. | |
| Arendal speakers...are they the real deal or all influencer hype? If you really want to jinx them, the Arendal 1723 got a good review and recommendation from Audio Science Review... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit You might want to check out the Schiit Kara preamp. It's received a number of glowing reviews. I haven't personally tried this model but I've been very pleased with all the Schiit gear I've tried. They do have a trial period for their gear with a... | |
| Physical degradation of CD's Sometimes a CD will go bad with age, an issue known as "CD rot." However, this ties to poor manufacturing practices rather than use. Poor quality control when the CD was made can result in oxidation of the reflective surface. There can also be a... | |
| Ohm owners: What headphones do you use? I have Ohm 1000s and have been very pleased with my Hifiman Sundara phones. They are planar design and available in both open and closed-back versions, and the price is reasonable. Hifiman also has higher-end planar models if you want to get fanci... | |
| Cocktail Audio X45 That's a pity. Seems odd they would make it so hard to import music to the hard drive. Adding new music to your local collection is a very important, and very basic, function for any player with storage. . Hope you figure it out. | |
| The best customer experience I've ever had...... This is the first time I've ever seen someone put trust in a car salesman on the same level as what they have for their doctor! | |
| Cocktail Audio X45 The manual I read has "scan music db" as a completely separate function from copy/move files. |
