| Simultaneous USB and HDMI Output from Mac Mini? I think you can create an aggregate audio device in Audio MIDI Setup. It's worked for me in the past A/B testing two DACs. | |
| Any love for Neko Audio D100 on here? I have one too - I haven't thought about upgrading since adding it to my stable. Even ordered a SRA VR base for it. | |
| audiophilleo 2 @Devilboy yes, haven't updated my system for a very long time. A lot has changed - coincidentally the only constant has been my speakers and AP2, now with PP. | |
| Metrum octave or Wyred 4 sound coax vs usb I've used the Audiophilleo 2 + PurePower on a couple of DACs (Anedio D1 and D2, Neko, Burson, PS Audio DL3) and it's been a major improvement in sound quality. I reckon both the Metrum and W4S would benefit from it. I haven't heard the Octave but ... | |
| What is the best sounding DAC at $2000-$4000? Neko D100 MK2 + Audiophilleo 2 + Pure Power sounds very non digital, musical with excellent tonality. | |
| audiophilleo 2 I've used the following each for a couple of months HiFace, Halide, AP2, AP2 + PurePower. AP2+PurePower is better than AP2 which was better than the Halide and HiFace. | |
| Upgrade - Front End OR Back ??? I feel your gear it top notch at this point - "bang for the buck" gains will be vibration isolation, power conditioning and cables unless you are already "arrived" with those.I don't know what you're running right now but I can recommend from my e... | |
| Upgrade suggestions for Parasound/Dynaudio system This is quite funny - I was discussing this with local Dyn dealer, his suggestions were as follows:1. Simaudio amp2. REL sub3. Go vinyl!Beastie Boys once said "I like my sugar with coffee and cream". That's how I like my music energizing and rich ... | |
| P.S. Audio Quintet? Worthwhile? My Duet did not make much of positive difference until I plugged it using JPS Labs Power AC+. I was using a Signal Cable earlier and I'm sure you just need a bigger cable to back it, no need for an AC+! As a result, it made mids sound bigger, gave... | |
| Best Cables for around $500 JPS Labs Superconductor Q - I'm using them between my DAC+Pre and power amp. I think they are pretty transparent because they let me hear the difference between various sources. | |
| What power cable for DAC? I'm using a Signal Cable MagicPower Digital with my DLIII. It added clarity to the vocals and the bass got fuller but articulate at the same time. | |
| Best amp for Dynaudio Confidence 1 or Contour 1.4? I have a Parasound A21 driving Dynaudio S1.4 and it sounds very good. | |
| What CD drive to use with DAC? Oppo 980 (redbook, sacd, dvda) would a good cost effective choice. | |
| Apple Airplay Sound Quality I understand that Airplay for audio is the same as AirTunes on Airport Express. | |
| Pandora thru Bluray 96khz? AAC 128kbps will sound better.The bigger part of the Pandora SQ equation is the audio codec and decoder. I believe Pandora uses AAC+ (lossy, low-birate, fit for mass distro) and in most cases Adobe Flash as the decoder.Your DAC matters but I think... |
