| Most overrated audio manufacturers? Eversolo , way over rated. They are releasing a $3700 streamer , good luck to anyone that buys it. They can't even correct FW on their first player. Way over hyped . | |
| Physical degradation of CD's I have lots of titles from 1983 - 90 that still play fine. I have never experienced a CD that wouldn't play, unless it had obvious damage. All of my discs look new, I never used them in cars or portables so I think that has a lot to do with my ... | |
| Denafrips reclockers vs empirical audio offramp 5 https://www.mutec-net.com/product_mc-3-plus-usb.php Another cool feature is that is can accept DSD up to 256 and convert to PCM to allow DSD playback with a R2R DAC or DAC limited to 24/192 | |
| Qobuz and Tidal comparison I have both Tidal and Qobuz running on my Aurender N200 and Vault 2i in sys 2. They both sound excellent but I have to give the edge to Qobuz. Tidal has some great live recordings which is why I keep it. | |
| about ready to dive in to streaming... PS Audio AirLens vs Aurender N10? I love my N200. It's been great. | |
| Denafrips reclockers vs empirical audio offramp 5 I picked up the Mutec MC3+USB, it works really well. It can take USB and output via consumer SPDIF, ,BNC, AES/ EBU, and Toslink simultaneously. It can also take those inputs and output via USB. It reclocks internally and can also reclock ... | |
| about ready to dive in to streaming... PS Audio AirLens vs Aurender N10? I think the Aurenders can do a lot more than AirLens. You can only do Tidal and Qobuz through Roon on the AirLens which would be a no go for me. The N10 is a full featured streamer that has native Tidal and Qobuz apps built in. It also has i... | |
| The Great DAC Mystery As Nonoise stated , some of the best DACs reside in an amplifier. My Cyrus i7XR has a great sounding DAC built in. I love that amp, very easy to listen to for a long time. | |
| The Great DAC Mystery I listened to several DACs between $1500 and $5500 /$6k and left with the LAB 12 DAC1 Ref. To me it was exactly what I was looking for. It was a little more than my budget but I wanted to avoid a lateral move from my RME. That's not to say... | |
| DAC question - is music streamer DAC better than mcintosh DA2? Glad to hear you are enjoying the 8950. Awesome amp | |
| DAC question - is music streamer DAC better than mcintosh DA2? Integrated Amps with built in DACs get a bad rap. My Cyrus i7XR integrated has the same chip set as the DA2 and sounds phenomenal. I was going to use my RME DAC with the Cyrus but I ended up selling it because the amp sounds so good using it's ... | |
| Suggestions for a DAC/Streamer to replace BlueOS Node Streamer I think Bluesound is still the best streaming platform. Dollar for dollar, it is the best value in streaming. No company will ever have the resources that Lenbrook has. It's all about software. FW, and gui in the streamer category. Is Bluesou... | |
| Suggestions for a DAC/Streamer to replace BlueOS Node Streamer Spending big on the Eversolo master or A8 is foolish , terrible support. Real amateur software development at Zidoo / Eversolo. Cumulative updates should include all revisions prior. Not cool to have a perfectly good working product and hobb... | |
| Tube Amp or Tube Pre Amp I like all tube, but it's probably best to start with a good tube pre ... C22 mk V would compliment that amp well. | |
| Suggestions for a DAC/Streamer to replace BlueOS Node Streamer Eversolo won’t work via USB with your McIntosh pre. I have been waiting since June for this to be corrected. Unit worked flawlessly for almost a year. FW 1.2.98 rendered USB inoperable with McIntosh DA2 card. |
