| Are luxman integrated amps truly balanced? Shrug, I havent found it warm at all. Pretty dang neutral and clean. So maybe it's what it's being fed that matters. I'm using a holoaudio DAC. | |
| Are luxman integrated amps truly balanced? I think a company called Rothwell makes inline attenuators. Like -10db etc. That would lower my DACs output to like 1.9volts...wonder if they change the sound at all. | |
| Are luxman integrated amps truly balanced? Ya, I think thats beyond me hah. Ill just test SE and go with it, so long as the quality is still there. When i use the XLR connection from the DAC to AMP its 6DB louder than SE. Was my first clue that the Luxman wasnt truly balanced. | |
| Are luxman integrated amps truly balanced? Ya I dont think Luxman has those transformers. Ill try with RCA and XLR see what sounds better. Do you guys think the 5.8Volts into XLR input is dangerous for the Luxman? Since it can handle 6volts? | |
| Are luxman integrated amps truly balanced? This is why I was using the XLR cable as well. But the run is so short and Luxman seemed to think the DAC output was too close to the max input level of amp. So was considering switching to RCA to mitigate the issue. Just didnt want to lose sound ... | |
| Are luxman integrated amps truly balanced? Thanks for the advice! | |
| Anybody heard the new Audiolab 9000CDT yet? Im using an Audioquest connect not sure which atm heh. It's connected to a Holosprings 3 KTE DAC then from there to a Luxman L507z. It sounds very good to me so far. Ive only had it for 3 days | |
| Anybody heard the new Audiolab 9000CDT yet? 9000CDT has an upgraded laser. The sound difference isnt small between it and the 6000CDT. It sounds very defined ...relaxed and the spacing between voices and instruments are very well done. I have both the 6000CDT too. It doesnt compete with the... | |

| HoloAudio Spring 3 Kitsune DAC NOS Ya looks like alot of classical and or some Jazz but no classic rock etc. I might try one for fun tho..The DAC will do DSD1024 so we shall see | |
| HoloAudio Spring 3 Kitsune DAC NOS Sounds interesting. Im not that far along yet | |
| HoloAudio Spring 3 Kitsune DAC NOS Yes, I havent found streamable DSD content yet. I run native from my streamer so what ever the song is from 44.1-192hz is what plays back thru the DAC. Im connected via USB from streamer to DAC. Not sure if that is optimum but I read it offers the... | |
| HoloAudio Spring 3 Kitsune DAC NOS Ya, the NOS DAC doesnt have OS or slow filters etc. All upscale/sampling has to be done on the streamer. It's the Rose 250a. My DAC is pure NOS | |
| HoloAudio Spring 3 Kitsune DAC NOS Hey ya ...just not familiar with NOS Dacs. If it's a required thing for them to reach full potential or is straight into the DAC from whatever the streamer or CD player sends ok.? My streamers sends up to 384khz pcm and Native DSD etc. So let the ... | |
| HoloAudio Spring 3 Kitsune DAC NOS Yes, Im enjoying it so far. Seems like most content is 44.1 and upscaled to 88.2 sounds good. The 176k sounds clearer but looses heft in the sound. Will have to keep trying. Is it worth it to upscale CDs? or just go directly to the DAC? |
