| Connections for NAD M51 DAC I wouldn't get all hung up on connection, I have the M51 and have my BluRay connected via HDMI and my CD player connected via coax. It sounds great on all inputs. This DAC is the Swiss Army knife of DACs, it's awesome. The nice thing about HDMI is... | |
| What do audiophiles listen in their cars? I have a work van with a factory Ford am/fm no cassette. It sounds horrible....only 2 crappy 4x6 full range in the doors. I drive a thousand miles a week sometimes, so when I get home I really appreciate my home system. | |
| Berkeley DAC Series 1, anything better 2.5K$ I just got the NAD M51 and it's awesome....After spending the last week with it all I can say it was money well spent. It was the final (for now anyway) piece in an almost complete system upgrade. I love the remote volume, polarity,and source sele... | |
| Theta Pro Basic III, Bel Canto Dac2, CIAudio VDA-2 I really liked my VDA 2, it is a killer dac except it lacks features and only has 2 inputs. If you can live with that I don't think you'll be sorry. I would also consider the BelCanto but the Theta is too old and you are probably screwed if that n... | |
| Opinions on the YBA WD202? I have one, it's a very nice DAC for the money. It was very close in sound to my Channel Islands VDA 2 that I have since sold. I bought it because I have an analog preamp and wanted both a remote digital hub for all of my digital sources and volum... | |
| What to replace CAL ALPHA dac I miss my Alpha DAC, nice sounding unit that I regret selling...... | |
| Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs? I just had a major upgrade of several components, and one component that is outstanding in terms of sound quality is my Conrad-Johnson Classic 2 SE preamp. It is a true minimalist design with absolutely no frills, no balance, no tone controls. Jus... | |
| Cambridge Audio 651a vs. Outlaw RR2150 Cambridge.... I received one of the first 2150s , it died, I got another one and it sounded fine. All was well until I turned the bass up and it shifted the balance. The balance was plugged into the tone circuit and the tone control was plugged in... | |
| Kef LS50 Revel Performa 106 Sonus Faber Venere 1. I have the M106 and they are a great speaker....They are A MUST audition if you are looking for a small speaker. I'm sure the others are very good but I am in love with the Revels. I am a former KEF and Sonus Faber owner and respect both brands bu... | |
| Parasound, McCormick, Odyssey - best under $1000 The McCormack DNA 125 is a great amp that can be had used for around 1k..... I just upgraded my pre ,speakers,and DAC but kept my five year old DNA 125 because it's such a good amp . It would take a lot more than I'm willing to spend right now to ... | |
| Which is REALLY the best Conrad Johnson Preamp I know it's no GAT but my new c-j Classic 2 SE is quite special. My system has never sounded so good.... | |
| Why do some audiophiles beat up McIntosh? I only owned one Mc preamp, a C15. It wasn't bad but it wasn't as good as the PS Audio 6.0 preamp it replaced and was no where as good as the McCormack RLD 1 that replaced it.... | |
| I would like to know the approx. value of my equip It is a tough economy for used audio values.... trust me, I just practically gave away some great gear that wasn't all that old. Unfortunately the bottom feeders on fleabay have pushed prices to an all time low. I try to think about the enjoyment ... | |
| Sonus Faber Venere vs Revel performa 3 I have the M106 and I love them. The sound to me seems extremely well balanced from top to bottom. I am driving them with a conrad-johnson Classic 2 SE pre and McCormack DNA 125 amp and it is awesome. I run them full range with a REL R305 and it's... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? I waited forever for the 997... I'm not even interested in the 998 after all the hype. |
