| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Right, but I am not sure a 40K delta sigma dac using off the shelf chips would necessarily compete with a well made r2r dac, which may be "only" 10K. Basically I am not sure the price is a huge part of this equation, rather designer skill and buil... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @mattnshilp , thanks. Currently I am in the market for a R2R ladder dac, specifically Metrum Pavane level 3. Have you tried that? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD So, have we decided on a top tier dac yet or is this a perpetual thing? Is there at least a top 10 list created w/ summarized reviews to help potential buyers? | |
| Current speaker threads are boring I really like reading about high tech speakers like Magico, Kharma etc. And I'd love to listen to speakers with ion tweeters sometime. | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering I'm not picking a fight, I'm not Devore. I found your comment odd. | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering " I have Devore 0/96 and Harbeth SHL5s. I bet their internals don't cost mega bucks more than the Tekton DIs. How do they justify their cost?"Isn't that implying they are overpriced? | |
| Origin Live Turntables? I bought an Aurora MK2 with an OL-1 tonearm (upgraded Rega) from Jay when I started seriously getting into the hobby. I have no other points of reference aside from a spectacularly bad turntable that came with those cheap integrated decks like AIW... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Not sure why Devore speakers are being attacked? He makes good speakers, not for everyone, but they sound good. | |
| Legacy Audio Focus SE compared to the Legacy Aeris Speakers As a recent owner of the Signature SE's, I think Legacy makes incredible speakers. Anything else would've been too big for my room, and they sound so amazing. | |
| Soekris ApS dac1101 another discrete R2R Multibit dac. So did anyone end up purchasing a Soekris DAC? I was interested in their higher end model 1541. Some reviews would be nice. | |
| Dynaudio-Which one should I buy with around $5000. I was very impressed by the C20's. I would suggest picking them up. | |
| ARE DCS Dacs worth the high cost? No. | |
| Tube Integrated Amp to Drive Floorstanding Speakers? If you don't need the headphone outputs...then you dont need to even bother with the Premium HP, just get the Premium, save $1000 for tubes, it's the same amplifier without the headphone option, less tubes to worry about also. | |
| Playback Designs Merlot dac Fair enough, that's very high praise. How is it with 16 bit 44.1 audio? Most my files are lossless CD rips. | |
| Preamps: Ayre K-5xeMP vs Pass Labs XP-10 vs Arcam C49 @wasquatch, I think the most comparable Parasound would be the Halo JC2 linestage. Which was on my shortlist when shopping. But honestly I am so impressed with the Ayre sound that I think I will stick with Ayre amplification gear for the future. |
