| SACD & other Formats To try SACD in my system can I just buy a cheaper SACD player and and use it as a transport to feed my DAC? Or is a full player required? | |
| SACD & other Formats So what is the right equipment to make SACD sing? Some people say the Oppo is good, others say it needs to be modified and I see SACD players $10K +. Is a dedicated SACD the better route?My TT is DV XV-1s, TW 10.5 arm, TW Raven One, Tron Seven pho... | |
| SACD & other Formats Never owned a SACD player, I currently use a Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 V2 which gives me 100% flexibility to try computer audio, downloads, streaming, movies, etc. Sounds great, never offensive. My past experience with digital was the higher ... | |
| SACD & other Formats The SACD direction looks appealing because there seems to be a market push for the product.I am running a Rega Osiris amp and the Rega Isis is very attractive given my amp and the balance of my equipment but it doesn't read SACDs.I understand the ... | |
| SACD & other Formats I climbed the heights of CD playback about 10 years ago with equipment and continually seeking the best possible CD issues for specific titles. When I realized I was chasing something that wouldnt satisfy, I sold off my expensive CDP and most of m... | |
| SACD & other Formats I already have the flexibility with a Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 V2. Great for playing from any source, my questions has more to do with the software than the equipment. Has the mastering behind a lot of the newer releases improved, the CD mar... | |
| Rega DAC vs Micromega MyDAC Thanks for the responses, I would love to hear from someone who has compared the 2 DACs. The MyDAC sounds great for the $$ but curious if the Rega would provide more synergy with my Rega Osiris amp.I have looked at the Sonos Connect and it looks i... | |
| TW Acustic Turntable Mat I've had one on my Raven One for a few weeks now. Really like what I hear, bit frustrating as it forced me through adjusting my XV-1s settings again. At first it was a shift in sound, darker richer but after adjusting my settings it was like a pre... | |
| TW Acustic Turntable Mat Thanks Philb7777I am not using the millennium mat just the bare platter. Curious did you have to reset the arm or did you just use the VTA adjuster? | |
| TW Acustic Turntable Mat Has anyone heard the mat with a Raven One? How does the mat impact the sound? I use the 10.5 arm and XV1s. | |
| Separates w/internal phono vs Integrated + phono Been doing some reading on the net and the VAC Avatar Super and Rega Osiris sound like outstanding integrated amps and trounced many high end separates. Anyone heard the Acoustic Arts Power I? Any other contenders? | |
| Separates w/internal phono vs Integrated + phono Thanks, jmcgrogan2Curious what integrates you considered and what you settled with? I understand the phono options with my front end, the tt manufacture and us distributor recommend the Tron phono for the tt and xv-1s. | |
| Separates w/internal phono vs Integrated + phono Oops don't know how that got posted again :-) | |
| Separates w/internal phono vs Integrated + phono Only problem with that plan is I won't know how it sounds through an integrated until that comes into the picture. Finding a better phono stage isn't my objective its in context of downgrading from separates. | |
| Separates w/internal phono vs Integrated + phono Sorry but I don't understand the frustration some people are expressing. I fully understand it's a decision that only I can make and there will be trade offs that are subjective. If I auditioned separates with an internal phono I would definitely ... |
