| Network player/streamer to feed NAD M51 DAC Maybe the older Auralic Aries -- it has AES out which is best for the M51 | |
| Where to hear ATC speakers Hmm, if you are now looking at Sabrinas, you’d rather compare to the SCM100As! | |
| Best solution to send digital files to my DAC You want a network streamer. Tons of these nowadays at different price points. The best one might be something like the Innuos Zen MK3 | |
| The Absolute Sound - ELAC Navis Review Um, just wait a few days before going back to a bookstore??? | |
| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? The Resolution Audio Cantata system sounds really good; natural, refined, no digital nasties. Metrum, also. At more stratospheric prices, well, Nagra and TotalDac. | |
| Herbies Pucks floor spike protectors... I still have some gliders. They didn’t do much for me under equipment rack nor Sound Anchors for my speakers (laminate floor), but they protect the flooring fine :D | |
| Recommendation for input coupling caps Sure I get that. But it would be a simple test to hook up a safe source, replace the Mundorf with a straight wire, test for DC offset, then evaluate the effect the cap is having. If the unpleasant sound profile still exists, then the problem is th... | |
| Airist Audio discrete R-2R DAC, at an unbelievable $350!!!!! ...I'm talking about the headfi thread posted.....come on | |
| Recommendation for input coupling caps "Agreed that I don't have good evidence.. none the less am interested to try something else, which I could then compare to my current amp and see the if capacitor has the effect or not" - fair enough! Just one last thought, can the input cap not ... | |
| Airist Audio discrete R-2R DAC, at an unbelievable $350!!!!! Whole thread reads like a mass shill! | |
| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane OT but where'd you get an Onyx for $1500? Massive discount! | |
| HagUsb..... Blast from the past! I used to have the HagUSB....what 10 years ago? It used the PCM2702 right? A basic USB 1.0, 16 bit max device and thus no external drivers needed. Things have moved on a lot from those kind of devices. | |
| Recommendation for input coupling caps Hang on, so you’ve not specifically qualified the effect (if any) of the input cap alone vs the overall "flat/compressed" amp sound signature; neither have you qualified the differential benefit (if any) of the Mundorf Supreme over a generic cap, ... | |
| Integrated amp question.....around $1000..could use some help! Me again. Totally forgot about the Anthem 225; I used to own that! It’s OK, fine, on the same level as the Exposure. But still the Simaudio Moon was a cut above; more engaging with better imaging. I think it’s the best option on your list. This la... | |
| First DAC: Metrum-MHDT-Rega-or? No issue with USB length if connecting that way. SPDIF is max 10m. The $1,000 range is a bit sparse for even used units, so if buying new I'd go for Metrum. |
