| Upgrade to PS Audio Direcstream Mk1 and Mac Mini? @v-fi & @soix The Meitner MA3 is a material upgrade from the PS Audio Mk1 with Bridge. Is is consistent with how people describe it. Much less analytical than the MK1. Has a warmth/ease of listening to it. I notice improvement in all areas... | |
| Upgrade to PS Audio Direcstream Mk1 and Mac Mini? @soix - adding the Lamm LL2.1 deluxe preamp has made a material difference in my system. Adding a whole new layer of detail that I have never heard especially in female vocals, piano, guitar. Improved soundstage and imaging. I would not categoriz... | |
| Upgrade to PS Audio Direcstream Mk1 and Mac Mini? Thx @v-fi v-fi. I just purchased the Meitner MA3 DAC. I have contacted PS Audio to see if I can trial the new MK2 with Airlens versus this setup. Things are coming together. | |
| New speakers for 15*12 room powered by Lamm 1.2s? I just purchased the Meitner MA3 DAC - has integrated Streamer. Considering comparing that side by side to new PS Audio MK2 with Airlens or other streamer. | |
| Upgrade to PS Audio Direcstream Mk1 and Mac Mini? I just purchased a used Lamm 2.1 Deluxe Pre-amp. We will see if that improves sound vs going direct from PS audio. I am also considering tape so if this unit works it allows me to add tape to the chain. So impressed with quality of my 1.2 monob... | |
| New speakers for 15*12 room powered by Lamm 1.2s? Just purchased the Lamm 2.1 pre-amp used to add to the chain. So impressed with my 1.2 monoblocks I could not resist adding the same brand. Will give me the option of adding tape. Hoping this adds some warmth. I didn't see anything in my price... | |
| Upgrade to PS Audio Direcstream Mk1 and Mac Mini? Appreciate all the suggestions. I am going to try putting a tube pre-amp in my chain and see what that does. I will then try putting a streamer connected to my PS Audio DAC and see what improvements that yields. i will then try a streamer/DAC co... | |
| New speakers for 15*12 room powered by Lamm 1.2s? Really appreciate all the great info here. @mopsauce life just got in the way of doing enough research to make a move to something else in the speaker department. If you don't live in a major metro it takes some work to view the options availab... | |
| New speakers for 15*12 room powered by Lamm 1.2s? Probably used - up to 25K - really depends on how much improvement in sound I get going up in price. I had originally bought the Lamms with the intention of pairing them with Wilson Audio speakers. I never got around to that. When I upgraded the ... | |
| Where to take system from here? Thx for the info - The Lamm’s have enough power to drive the thiels - I do notice some loss at the very lower end compared to the Krell setup but that is ok given room size. My room was build for soundproofing/diffusion at construction of the ho... | |
| Ps audio directstream into scd-1 - direct to amp? I would agree my sound was a little clinical at times. Interesting approach on the dac. I listened to a set of b&w 800Ds with classe gear and it was definitely warmer.i haven't played with Dac's much. Trying to figure out if I build around the... | |
| New 16 12 room - direction? Thx - I have heard from a lot of people that Classe and thiels pair well. Was your audio research a tube pre? | |
| Creek 5350SE - Phone Board installed or not? Thanks for the help | |
| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? Thanks for the advice. Looks like I will need to start over with amplification if I want to go with the Maggies. | |
| Best Amp/pre-amp for Thiel 6s Thanks for your feedback. I am awaiting arrival of my Krell FPB 300cx with a KCT pre-amp. |
