| What's the best Dac for the money You should check out the PS Audio Direct Stream. It is an "ear-opener" for Redbook and has SOTA capabilities for hi-res and DSD. beautiful looking too.Neal | |
| Best Rock Album of 2014 New Conor Oberst must be a contender. A major performance -- great songwriting, excellent arrangements, soulful singing. never much liked him before but this is dazzling.Neal | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Bander,I suggest an even broader rule; no comments from any manufacturer touting his/her own products. That's what ads are for. If people like Audioengineer want to share their technical insights, those are welcome, but mfr/members should not use ... | |
| DAC Burn-In Question Bigshutterbug, (or anyone else knowledgeable),Do I need to have preamp on at all when I am burning in from BDP-1 to DS? (I am not running direct into amp.) If so, can I Mute the pre to save the tubes?It is getting better, more full-bodied over tim... | |
| DAC Burn-In Question Thanks Mrderrick. I am running it most of the day now to accelerate burn-in. Last night I listened to LCD Soundsystem's Dance Yourself Clean, a synth pop tune, and almost jumped out of my chair. The clarity and realism were astonishing.Every now a... | |
| DAC Burn-In Question Tbooe,It is about half-burned in and it sounds better than any DAC I have heard anywhere. Bass needs to come around and highs still a bit thin.When I feel it is nearly done I will say more.FYI, TAS and Stereophile this month both have reviews.Chee... | |
| DAC Burn-In Question Thank you very much. What a relief! | |
| CD Transports a relic or a good option? Aune/AN Budburma,I will be interested to hear how the Music vault with an AES/EBU output works out. I sue a Bryston BDP-1 digital transport to a new PS Audio Direct Stream DAC, using a Stealth Sextet AES/EBU digicable, which produces awe-inspiring sound, ... | |
| CD Transports a relic or a good option? Aune/AN They are a good option to have even if you mainly use computer audio. A good transport, e.g., CEC TL-1X, with a good digital cable, will give a warmer, more natural and realistic sound to the music, as opposed to the cold sterile sound produced by... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Shame on me! I must have missed it among the flying insults, which I eschew like Pandora and Spotify (except to sample new music). Still, I think it is an amazing machine, and you know what they used to say in the Roman Forum: De gustibus non est ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I doubt you can do better and anything near its price than the PS Audio Direct Stream DAC. Mine is just burning in and it is, in a word, breathtaking. This from a listener who started on digital with the Magnavox CDB 650, first 16 bit player, back... | |
| Computer vs CD/SACD discs I am 63 and about 2 years ago transitioned from a transport-DAC combo to a Bryston BDP-1 digital player to a DAC (previously the PS Audio PWD MkII, now upgraded to Direct Stream - wow! but that's another post). The Bryston is controlled by laptop ... | |
| A New Superstar Power Cord As the originator of this increasingly rambunctious and off-message thread, I will note that after about 75-100 hours, the LessLoss Ref PC has imposed an almost eerie black silence on the background to music, such that vocals and acoustic instrume... |
