| Good DAC for Home Studio I began this thread a few months ago in search of a good DAC for my studio. I ended up getting a Schiit Bifrost 2/64 and I'm very satisfied with it. The sound is great. Plus I like the fact that it is upgradable and updatable. It seems like th... | |
| Best DAC for iPhone - Volvo Car Play Connection? This is something I am not clear on. The audio is coming from the iPhone and going out of the audio out of the iPhone. So, therefore, the audio coming out of the iPhone is already going through the DAC in the iPhone. If that is true, is there... | |
| Good DAC for Home Studio I just retuned the Schiit Modi 3+. Above the Gungnir was mentioned as being satisfactory and then later it was noted that it was discontinued and the Schiit Bitfrost was suggested for consideration. I looked at the Bitfrost and ordered one for a... | |
| Good DAC for Home Studio I started out testing the Schiit Modi 3+ because I saw reviews that said it was the best value for the money. The $2,299 Yggdrasil is beyond my budget. My budget is more in the $1,000 range. Above, the Gungnir is mentioned. I've found it diffi... | |
| Comparing One System to Another - A + B Right after I wrote this last note I also wrote Dirac regarding the $99 full version of Dirac Live. They just sent me the link to it. So, now I have the link and just purchased the full version. I find their site rather confusing. It would be ... | |
| Comparing One System to Another - A + B The speakers are mounted on the upper corners of a wall in our living room 22' x 16' as a compromise with my wife. However, they are directed slightly downward pointing toward the seating area. So, they are pointed toward listening as much as po... | |
| Comparing One System to Another - A + B Thank you for your suggestions! This sheds good light on considerations for me. It also brings up other related questions I have about what may be occurring. Part of the sound difference is twofold: 1) I'm hearing frequencies with the Tannoy... | |
| Comparing One System to Another - A + B I'm confused. The NAD has 180 watts per channel. Shouldn't that be adequate or not. If wattage is not the problem, are you suggesting the speakers are not adequate? I've listened to them at full volume right in front of them and the clarity is... | |
| How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers? My grandfather was probably the first audiophile in our family - although he was not easily recognized as one. He had an all in one stereo in his basement. Nothing fancy. But when I would join him in front of it - it felt like it was a shrine ... | |
| Best Connection Between MAC and NAD You've been extremely helpful! Many Thanks. Now I have my work cut out for me! | |
| Best Connection Between MAC and NAD Thank you so much for your great response! I have a follow up question. You said that you use QoBuz. In comparing Apple Music and Tidal, it appears that Tidal has the edge on sound quality. I'm playing the streaming into a NAD C 399 with MDC2 ... | |
| Best Connection Between MAC and NAD Great suggestions on the hardware. Thanks! I started out using Apple Music because I've been using earlier iterations of Apple Music for years. Then, the NAD dealer rep showed up to set up my system. He began to praise how Tidal provided much ... | |
| Best Connection Between MAC and NAD I'm new to this and still a little confused. Considering the spec info just mentioned regarding the MDC2 BluOS-D module which I have and is part of my NAD C 399 does that mean that I really don't need an additional streamer such as the Bluesound ... | |
| Are There EQ Music Apps Available for Streaming Media on the Mac? I'm thinking of going with the Schiit Loki Mini+ 4-Band Tone Control Equalizer. Do you think that is a good choice? It's been suggested that I also go with a USB DAC for the Mac. This is a review of some of them. Would you recommend any of t... |
