| DAC diminishing returns I agree with ghdprenice , it's all relative to your system and future goals. That holds true no matter the component. I am a regular guy, there is no way I could assemble a great system overnight . That said every upgrade should be more th... | |
| DAC diminishing returns I bought my current DAC after listening in store and in home. The analog stage of a DAC is more important with respect to sound quality in my opinion. Unlikely I will ever use DSD codecs so I bought a non OS DAC with tube analog stage. I l... | |
| RME ADI-2 fs against Topping D90SE I have the RME , it is good for the money. I recently replaced it with a non OS tube DAC. Never really considered Topping or other cheap DACs. A note about the RME, support has been great, in December they launched firmware with additiona... | |
| What cause tweeters hiss ? Plug in Air Fresheners can cause tweeter hiss. I had a weird noise coming through speakers and traced down to that. | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio I also picked up the Lab 12 DAC 1 Reference and am really enjoying it. | |
| Input, please Yes as Russ said. RTV. I use it all the time on instruments where there is decorative trim. Often times its what the factory uses instead of glue because it can be removed if necessary | |
| New Magnaplanar 1.7 delaminating and buzzing. Mike, You are not the only one I have heard that from regarding Audeze. Some companies really do go above and beyond. Grado, excellent service, Zesto ....unbelievable service. I wish the OP luck, do manufacturers realize the damage contro... | |
| New Magnaplanar 1.7 delaminating and buzzing. Only six month old and those type of problems? Magnepan should step up and replace both, no questions asked. Sounds like a problem with the adhesives used. | |
| conrad johnson CAV45, CA200,... The CAV 45 is an excellent sounding amp. Supposedly the mk II is even better. CJ just knows how to voice their amps to "just sound right" | |
| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit I own ASR's nightmare system.... Forte IV, Zesto tube pre, Lab 12 non oversampling tube DAC, and QS mono amps.... they would have a field day tearing that stuff apart but as a system it sounds DAMN good. Ironically I just retired my RME... | |
| New PrimaLuna versus used Audio Research preamp? Audio Research. It will still be worth close to what you paid should you sell it. PL resale will be half the day you take it home. | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? Soix, you are right on the money. I bought new speakers, used preamp , and ordered a new amp in the height of Covid. I got a great deal on my preamp , bought new speakers when they were first released , before the real supply chain issues. I... | |
| Merason DAC - Your Opinion/Thoughts I went to listen to one. I picked it up, it really was feather weight. I just couldn’t justify the cost plus another 1000 for the PS. It just felt cheap. I know it’s Swiss and probably very good but I thought it may be a lateral move for me. ... | |
| Differences between models of expensive vs inexpensive DACs Just picked up LAB 12's DAC 1 Reference and it's really nice. In a direct A/B with the RME it replaced the difference is not subtle . |
