| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane I'm using a modified Wyred for Sound Sonos Connect which only has spdif rca digital output. I'm also using a modified cd transport with the same digital rca output connection to play cds.I know I've read the I2S is supposed to be better but was w... | |
| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane Hi,Little off topic but you mentioned you were running the onyx through ambre with I2S. Did you try running it via spdif also to compare? I'm wondering if you heard any differences between I2S and spdif?I have the onyx also but running it via sp... | |
| Wyred4sound Sonos Connect Mod upgrade In my opinion it was a significant upgrade to the digital output. Before the upgrade the sound was less clear, brighter and had a reduced soundstage. Basically it sounded like older digital players. After the upgrade everything improved and now... | |
| Non Oversampling DACs Hi,I recently purchased the Metrum onyx dac and have a fairly good resolving audio system including the Pathos Twin Towers integrated amp, Green mountain audio speakers and two REL subwoofers. I can attest to what David said in that this DAC soun... | |
| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) Another vote for Green Mountain Audio from Roy Johnson | |
| Best small used monitors under $1000 Any Green Mountain Audio monitor such as the Callisto or Europa, possibly the Rio also | |
| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? I have also been using a modified Wyred for sound Sonos connect for the past few months with an external DAC. There is no comparison between the stock Sonos connect digital output and the modified Sonos connect digital output, the modified digita... | |
| What is you TIDAL setup? Modified Wyred Sonos Connect>Wywires coax digital cable>Dodson DAC 217IID>Pathos Twin Towers > Controlled by either android phone or Ipad mini. I have a very good transport and honestly tidal streaming in my above setup sounds nearly ... | |
| DODSON 127II, 127II D and 128 I bought mine used already updated to 217II D which is the upsampling option to 24/96. I can't comment on what the sound differences are as I did not have the regular 217II to compare to the 217IID. A friend of mine had the 217II and it sounded ... | |
| DODSON 127II, 127II D and 128 I purchased a used DAC 217 II about ten years ago which was updated with the 24/96 upsampling option which I believe then essentially made it a DAC 217 MK IID. I also had the DAC 218 software update installed but still my DAC is not the same as t... | |
| DODSON 127II, 127II D and 128 You should contact Silversmith Audio who acquired Dodson Audio several years ago and still services these DAC's.I believe you can update the DAC 217 II to the DAC 217 IID but you cannot upgrade the DAC 217 to the DAC 218. | |
| Thiel VS Green Mt I'm biased since I've been using the Callistos for the past ten years. All I can say are they are very involving and one of the most realistic sounding speakers I've heard especially on voices. I have heard the Thiels many times and I prefer the... | |
| Audience Au24se vs Au24sx cables I just recently switched from the SE RCA interconnect to the SX RCA interconnect. I had tried several interconnects a few years back and in my system the SE was my favorite. I had been hesitant to demo the SX RCA interconnect as I was really enj... | |
| Standmount speakers 4k-8k I recommend any Green Mountain Audio monitor. A little difficult to audition but very efficient and lifelike. Numerous testimonials on the web and also excellent reviews on Soundstage and Six Moons Audio. Well worth trying. | |
| Best interconnects used for around $500 +? I agree that the SX is better than the SE as I've demoed them also but I believe whinoman is asking for around $500 or so dollars. The SX are much more than that as they are new, even demo pairs are around $1300. I'm considering upgrading to the... |
