| Paypal Changes for 2022 They won't send one to me because the IRS has never sent me anything. | |
| DAC Question: Delta-Sigma vs R2R @larsman both of those components are essentially colorless; they add no warmth but they are not dry and clinical - they do a great job of delivering the source, so the main effect on my sound is the DAC, and that's where I'm using the Holo May R... | |
| Share MYSTICAL, HAUNTING songs Probably nearly every song by Nick Cave. I respect positions he has adopted on certain matters of principle. | |
| I Don't Want to be an Audiophile, What am I... @holmz I think it is a divinylphile? That’s very good thanks and super cool band, but not what I was thinking. Doesn’t help that I spelt my suggestion also thinking of the band. Divineophile. Disco, American icon.. | |
| I Don't Want to be an Audiophile, What am I... Anyone with a collection of LPs might like devyneophile. Very masculine. | |
| DAC Question: Delta-Sigma vs R2R @larsman Personally, I would find both of those DAC’s on the dry side for my tastes This is so true. Hence, should you be able to wade through my rant above, I do suggest that it might be an option to add something in the pre-amp or amp. Like ... | |
| DAC Question: Delta-Sigma vs R2R @larsman why you would think a new cheap $300 DAC would be better than a Chord Hugo, for example, which is 5 years old or so? I'll bite. I would challenge anyone to listen to a $440 SMSL M500 MkII DAC (also a headphone amp) and swear that the... | |

| The Boss is the Bo$$ So with all that moolah now in his back pocket I guess he can now afford to release some albums with excruciatingly bad music and with terrible production quality. Maybe a duet with Adele. | |
| DAC Question: Delta-Sigma vs R2R @buddyboy1 the Topping e30 for the same price is an excellent valuefor a DAC. I can confirm that about the Topping E30. I recently made my Rega Saturn CD player the transport for such a one. It is the only thing I changed (plus adding the nec... | |
| DAC Question: Delta-Sigma vs R2R @alvinnir2 While an equalizer is not what I was specifically referring to when I was saying that its best to customize the signal only after it has left the DAC, introducing something as you suggest is another good example. Rather than trying to... | |
| DAC Question: Delta-Sigma vs R2R DACs only purpose is to convert the digital signal into an analogue form with as little distortion, noise, jitter and other nasty artifacts as possible. A few other things, but you get the idea. R2R and Sigma Delta take quite different approaches... | |
| Transmission line speakers! I use transmission line speakers rear ported, new production, not a known brand (custom made). They are rather splendid in my opinion for the price point of about $2K (direct selling from the dude who makes them). 96 dB @1w/1m, 26hz - 30khz +/- 2... | |
| Then and Now Jason Stoddard of Schiit Audio essentially saying that after a couple of beers it’s hard to tell the difference between DACs. Meanwhile, in a gesture of appreciation and goodwill, every electrical engineer who has put their heart and soul into ... | |
| Where/what is the best place to sell used components Similar to what has been suggested - do you perhaps have nephews or nieces who may appreciate a special gift? It could be life changing, so you will have to think very carefully.... |
