Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
Scottr, I heard the BLU MK.2 Is really really good. I found out about this too late. I would already have one of them if I would of kept the DAVE.  
Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
Scott, I tried a T+A PDP 3000 CD/DAC in my system. SACD’s and CD’s NEVER sounded better. It was alive, crazy, you would forget to breathe when listening to it. It was the sound I wanted. I had problems with using the Aurender with it. I had to pow... 
Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
Scott, with the Dave DAC, you can listen to it for hours, wide soundstage, amazing often eerie vocals & detail. When I try the Aurender, I have to go back to the Dave. The Dave is great with all resolutions of music. You do not need MQA with i... 
Suggestion on XLR Cables
High Fidelity Reveal XLR magnetic have beat out all I have tried. They are $1k. Their RCA IC’s for $700 are just as good.  
Wilson Sasha 2 Pre owned?
I have Sasha 1’s and Watt Puppy 7’s. Love both, both different. I have heard the Sasha 2’s and would love to have them. Sabrina’s and Yevette’s are great, but Sasha 2’s are better.  
Chord Dave
I just sold my Chord Dave, I do miss it, I can not listen to music more than a few minutes without being bored with the DAC I currently have till I get a new one. The Dave worked great in my system (Wilson Audio Sasha’s and T +A amp, High Fidelity... 
Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7s? - seeking advice
I have Watt Puppy 7's which I moved to the theatre room. This pair of speakers replaced 6 Martin Logans and sound much better. I bought Sasha's for my main listening room, absolutely love them. Listened to many speakers over 15 months from Magico'... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
If you are still looking, check out T+A music players. The best CD I have ever heard, and by a wide margin is their PDP 3000HV. Simply crazy it is so good. My MacBook Pro and my Aurender also sound phenomenal through it. It is the only digital pro... 
Top integrated with MC phono section
You should also consider the T+A PA 3000 HV, can add built in phono stage for only an additional $1.5k. This phono stage is really outstanding & so is the integrated amp.  I have a T+A 2500R integrated and it is flawless. After hearing the T+A... 
$10k DAC in a 3k system?
 The T + A DAC 8 DSD is incredible for $4k. If you can hear this DAC you will be amazed by it. I have a Chord Dave which I love but would totally be just as happy with the T+ A DAC for 6k less money.  
Wilson Sasha 1
Rshad000,did you ever get the Sasha's? I went from Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 7's to the Sasha's, love them. I almost got Magico's but the Sasha's sounded better and fuller at lower volumes, both sound great loud. I have a T+A integrated amp and use ... 
Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
rshad000, I bought the Dave over the Ayre and I am still happy I did. The Ayre is smooth and clean and you can listen for a long time with no fatigue. Excellent DAC for sure. I personally did not like the look of the Ayre and it just does not look... 
XLR interconnects
2007audioman, I am now happy with the new DAC, just been switching cables around. It is quite amazing. The AQ XLR's are very good with my new DAC although the Reveals are even better, but twice the price. I did order a pair of Reveal XLR's and wil... 
XLR interconnects
I was using AQ Water XLR's from my DAC to my amp, both balanced. I replaced my 3k DAC with a 12k DAC. Before I removed my old DAC, I tried a pair of High Fidelity Reveal RCA cables. They sounded much better & bigger cleaner sound stage. If I w... 
Integrated vs Separates, New vs Used - Rogue Audio, Simaudio, McIntosh??? Input Needed!
I was in this situation recently. I decided to go integrated. Was down to three choices after many months...T+A 2500R, Pass Labs INT 250 and the Prima Luna Dialogue HP (tube). All 3 were excellent, I ended up going with the T+A, love it & it l...
