| DAC question - is music streamer DAC better than mcintosh DA2? Not many products you buy today are built as good as those amps. 75 years building them says a lot. | |
| DAC question - is music streamer DAC better than mcintosh DA2? Those big McIntosh integrated amps are excellent. By big I mean the ones with autoformers. Can drive 4 Ohm speakers all day long and barely get warm | |
| DAC question - is music streamer DAC better than mcintosh DA2? The DA2 card sounds really good for a built in DAC. My Dad has a MA8950 and it sounds great. Avoid Eversolo streamers as they do not recognize some DACs via USB, the DA2 is one of them. | |
| Holographic DAC With Air And Decay See if you can demo the Lab 12 DAC 1 Ref or order the LTA DAC with a 14 day trial period. I own the Lab 12 and like it a lot. Used ones are out there for $2200 or so. New they are $3300. The LTA is more than your budget but is supposed to s... | |
| Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions FYI. Eversolo does not recognize a number of DACs via USB. Most recent being LAIV. Has problems with Chord and McIntosh among others. PoS company to deal with too | |
| ???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why??? My Dad has a pair of Sonus Faber Electa Amator III and they are excellent. They have great bass for a small speaker. They sound huge and scale like no small speaker has a right to. Excellent speaker. | |
| Aliexpress Marketplace practices, be for warned. Just received another product from Ali, the LHY SW-6. I received it in less than a week. Same vendor , purchases were a month apart and both were received in a week. | |
| Interconnect Break In? I also think it's your ears and brain that are "breaking in " when you make a change | |
| Bluesound mode not really cutting it Streamers aren't all the same. You can buy an Eversolo and get terrible support or you can buy an Innuos or Aurender and get both great sound and support. Bluesound is a great platform and sounds pretty good for the money. Best platform for ... | |
| colibrie Those speakers got a lot of love at hifi Munich. I'm am intrigued by them. Would love to hear a pair locally. | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid Absolutely.... your kids will sell it for peanuts when you die anyway! Enjoy now. It's like having a classic car you don't drive. Why save it for the next guy? | |
| Bluesound mode not really cutting it I would change out the preamp , DACs are pretty good nowadays. A great preamp makes a big difference in my experience. | |
| Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC Judging by the quality of Jays subsidiary LHY Network switch and OCK 2 clock I would say the Jays is a safe bet. Those two products are built like a tank. Fully CNC billet case. Really high quality connectors. Definitely changed my mind abo... | |
| Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC Don, I had a Mutec MC3+USB reclocker / master clock that I bought for my Aurender's USB out. That device can accept and distribute 10m and word clock . The Mutec 10m ref clock is $$$ so I thought for now I would try the LHY OCK-2 by Jay's Au... | |
| Dedicated CD Transport vs DAC DAC , absolutely but I just added a Teac VRDS 701T and it is much better sounding as the OPPO 103 I was using. No comparison. The OPPO sounded small and closed in , the Teac sounds huge with tons of detail. Not subtle. |
