| Anyone try the Bryston BDP-2 or the BDA-2 Dac Ozzy,I saw that you have the PS Audio Direct Stream DAC. I have one on order, to replace my PS Audio PWD II. Await it with eager anticipation.Cheers,Neal | |
| Anyone try the Bryston BDP-2 or the BDA-2 Dac That is correct, Duddley, although it can be controlled wirelessly via laptop, iPAD or iPod.. I don't find the requirement for an Ethernet connection to be any big deal. Connect once and forget it.Neal | |
| Sennheiser HD650 and ipod If you add a portable headphone amp(and some now have built-in DAC's), you will be amazed at the audible improvement. I use a JDS Labs portable headphone amp which is beautiful to look at and operates flawlessly. iPod and iPhone sound bland withou... | |
| Best imaging and sounding bookshelf speaker Spendor SA1. These little babies cast a HUGE soundstage, image precisely, and disappear from an audio standpoint. They are quite handsome too.Every time I have given up small Spendors I have regretted it, so I have been holding on to this treasure... | |
| A New Superstar Power Cord Mcondon,I will look forward to your impressions. Please note that in my experience, in can take at least 25-50 hours for it to open up. Mine have about 50-75 now and are really sounding groovy!Neal | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream Audiolabyrinth,Sorry to intrude on Ozzy's thread, but the ones I have are the Cardas Clear adapters. The old Cardas I had were about $60 when I bought them about 10 years ago. I am sure the ones you have are much improved. Good luck.Neal | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream It is always hard to know how much one tweak if affecting the overall sound, but in this case it was easy. These are far far superior to the BAT adaptors they replaced (and they were pretty good), and MUCH better than the old Cardas black adaptors... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream The mind boggles, Ozzy . . . .!I am sure there is some type of IC splitter that will let me run two sets of IC's into one input pair. but that does not sound optimal, espcially with a RCA to XLR adaptor to begin with.Thanks. | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream I have a DSD kit on order for July delivery, but question how I can run it directly into power amp, while still running my Sansui TU - 9900 tuner (and TV audio) through preamp into power amp. Unfortunately, my Krell FPB 300cx has only one set of (... | |
| Best natural, musical DAC under $3K? Why not a PS Audio PWD MkII. With their new DSD model, the MkII's are available used for an attratctive orice, and it is a top notch, highly versatile DAC.Neal | |
| Everything Looks Like Shot on Video It was the Motion setting. I turned it off and it returned to the normal picture, without the so-called "soap opera" effect. Thanks for the advice. It was really irritating.Neal | |
| Ethernet Cables Interesting discussion. I have an unusual wired setup. The router is in the basement, and I use a Netgear Powerline adaptor to "continue" the wired Internet setup to the LR where my stereo rig is. I plug an Powerline adaptor in the wall near my ri... | |
| Rack Recommendations Second the Salamander. I use the mega spikes on carpet and they are very stable. Good looking stands, reasonable priced, well-made, easy assembly.Neal | |
| Best Rock Album of 2014 The new Lana Del Rey album, Ultraviolence, is just breathtaking. This girl can sing!Neal | |
| A New Superstar Power Cord Jazz,I have not auditioned or compared the HD P4 to any other cable. I bought the LL Ref based on prior experience with LL cables and I am happier every day that I did. I am sure the P4 is excellent but there are only so many hours in the day.The ... |
