| Msb dacs why not alot of postings Listening to everything side by side isn't as simple as snapping a finger in the current climate. Some assessments can also be made by looking at measurements (if you are one of those measurements don't matter people - don't even talk to me) as we... | |
| Msb dacs why not alot of postings Relax man, I can afford it, not sure why you are so riled about defending a corporation? Go smoke some weed. I actually can afford a Ferrari, but drive a Porsche instead. | |
| Msb dacs why not alot of postings Mmh hmm. So its replaced by "Discrete", still the value proposition of Rockna dacs are very good. Has to compete aganst some very competent dacs in the 4-6K range that are possibly as good. There's basically no point in paying a premium IMO. | |
| Msb dacs why not alot of postings I was eyeing the MSB Analog a while back. The problem is within that range dacs like the Rockna Wavedream, or even the recent Wavelight have received a lot of accolades, and are more modern. Or Chord Dave for instance. Or the Mola Mola Tambaqui, a... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Anyone compare this to the Rockna Wavelight? | |
| Rockna Wavelight thoughts? Would the Wavelight be a good upgrade point from the Metrum Onyx? What is the consensus vs other r2r dacs? Is there a switchable OS/NOS option? | |
| All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only If there is only one amp that hits all your boxes, then the choice is already made, ie, there is no choice, but only one option. So go ahead and swipe card. Why even bother discussing things.But all these amp x is the best and most sublime, gods g... | |
| What integrated should I upgrade to? I was gonna suggest the 505. Good to see you got that. I’m not a fan of CA dacs, I’d have suggested a Topping or a Schiit. But hopefully it’ll work out. | |
| Icon Audio Stereo 30 SE Great, let us know how that works. I’ve purchased the Lyric Audio TI140 MK2 to satiate my tube lust. Wonderful amp. But would be very interested in your impressions on the Icon. | |
| Best used integrated under $5k How much power do the Wilsons require?Looking at minimum impedance at 2.5 ohms, they may be a tough load.I owned Ayre gear, I can highly recommend the AX5-20, Ayre has a certain clarity and sweetness that I assume carries into this integrated.I ow... | |
| All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only +1 for Luxman L-509X. It sounds amazing. | |
| Top notch integrated vs DAC direct into stereo amp If you only have one source, then why not? | |
| Best tube preamplifier for under $15k Eastern Electric Minimax Phono - $1000 | |
| Impressions: $1k-$2k integrated amps Peachtree audio products are a great entry. I had the original Decco integrated amp for $800, amazing sound quality if not very powerful. They moved onto class D amps I believe, should still be fantastic. | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? Not worth the hassle. Not over paying for a bulky, clunky, outdated format. Vinyl has good artwork and is sturdy at least. This is niche stuff that people with too much time and disposable income can indulge in. Rest of us have other priorities. |
