| Another request for Streamer Transport options The Innuos is a great machine for the money. Avoid Eversolo, way overhyped and poor support. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Hi Tom I tried to reply regarding Studio Electric M4. Reach out at SteveHoffmanForums. Im Oddiofyl there too. | |
| Aurender N10 still Relevant in 2025 I started streaming with a Bluesound Vault 2i in 2019 and when it was time for a significant upgrade I went with the N200. Its been a great machine , I wish I had more time to use it. No regrets , it is built like a tank and sounds great. | |
| The Accidental Tweak Some tube preamps will suffer noise if the cover is off. I changed out a tube , was listening to it and was wondering where the noise came from. Another tube, still noise. I pulled out my tester to make sure it wasn't a bad tube. Found out ... | |
| Merason DACs Merason DACs are good. When demoing DACs a few years ago I went to listen to the Friot. Definitely a good DAC for the money. I also listened to the original DAC 1. It was a great DAC but a little beyond my budget. Great sound and made i... | |
| Studio Electric m4 Six months in and I'm loving the M4. I just freshened up an old turntable and am listening to them right now. Everyone's taste is different but these speakers really check all the boxes for me.. 50 watts wasn't quite enough for them as the... | |
| Tube DAC with i2s input? This guy builds nice DACs , here are some myths according to Ben of Mojo Audio https://www.mojo-audio.com/blog/7-myths-of-digital-audio-dispelled/ He does not subscribe to i2s being the end all be all of digital transfer . | |
| Need Integrated amplifier The McIntosh MA8950 is an excellent amp. The DA2 DAC in it sounds really good, HT bypass. Built like a tank. | |
| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? Zlone Here are a few reviews They have great bass quality and quantity for a small speaker. Nice detail without ever being harsh or bright. The M4 replaced a pair of Omega S.A.M. and are a much better speaker overall. Can’t quite match... | |
| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? I've owned the Studio Electric M4 about six months. I love these speakers. Exactly the sound i was looking for in a small speaker. Great speakers , will never sell these. | |
| Denafrips offer to replace my faulty Pontus 15th, for a replacement fee? I got a lot of heat on this forum and others regarding this brand. Turns out they are a POS company after all... Same is true for Eversolo. They treat customers the same way and will do anything to avoid after sale support / warranty repa... | |
| Upgrade PSB Synchrony One B to Sonus Faber Grand Piano Domus? That generation of Sonus is a little soft on the top end. Definitely want to hear them first. Not sure i would spend $2000 on a 20 year old pair of speakers. Those were $4800 new, the equivalent of about $7700 today. So from a value pe... | |
| Denafrips offer to replace my faulty Pontus 15th, for a replacement fee? That's not so much of a warranty, it's you paying what it cost to manufacturer another Pontus. | |
| Sonus Faber Concertino? Excellent deal if they work well. I had a pair of Concertinos , then Concerto many years later that were about 25 years old when i got them . They still look and sound great, I gave them to my brother a year or so ago They were entry level b... | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? Most of my DACs have had a fixed analog out. The few that did were set to fixed or vol was at 0 dB I'll always use a preamp so I am likely to buy a DAC with no preamp function. I have had a few with volume, the NAD M51 DAC had one , it was a... |
