| How do you all manage mild hearing loss? A good headphone system | |
| Borderpatrol Dac SE BTW, I second the Audiomirror. | |
| Borderpatrol Dac SE Owned one for around a year. It never really opened up. Lacked air and dimension. It was a pleasant sounding DAC, but nothing really special in my opinion.I felt it never really lived up to the raves it got in audiophile press (although there were... | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line Hi Arafiq,It can take Vlad a few days to reply, but he will contact you.It is worth waiting, as you will be communicating directly with the guy who is going to build YOUR dac the way you want.It is a small company and has no automated online order... | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line @arafiq,Glad I could help.You will not be disappointed with the Tubadour IIIBTW, @1markr is a veritable wealth of information when it comes to tubes & audio in general.Enjoy! | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line Apologies @arafiq.No intention of hijacking your thread.1Mark I'll be in touch. | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line Hi 1Mark,Whoops, yes Terry London of course, my face is red. Thanks!He is a well respected reviewer.If you look at the DAC's he has had for review it is amazing he has chosen the Tubadour III as a reference!Yes, I am using the 5977's.I am sure I w... | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line Arafiq,I just want to say that the Border Patrol & RME are both very good DACs.I enjoyed both.There are just so many from which to choose, and I don't think you can go "wrong" with any of the above suggestions.The issue is finding a DAC that c... | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line I have owned both the BP and AM (my current DAC).I purchased the Border Patrol after reading some reviews that attributed an "analogue sound" to the BP. IMHO it is a pleasant sounding DAC, but nothing special, lacking detail and air.I decided to r... | |
| Best DAC for around $2,500 or less Hi,Mine was the original with 4490EQ chip.Don't get me wrong, I truly enjoyed the RME and used it for almost 2 years.It is a wonderful piece for the price. So is the Audio Mirror.The RME dac is crystal clear & allows "peering into" the music d... | |
| Best DAC for around $2,500 or less + Audio Mirror.Owned RME ADI-2Owned Border PatrolThe AM bests them both for sheer musicality | |
| Headphone Amp for Focal Utopias? I recommend the Linear Tube Audio Microzotl 2.A terrific amp and fine people.The price is stunningly reasonable, considering the quality of build and sound. | |
| RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000? Hey,I "Mirror" luisma31 post. I too have the RME. His remarks are spot on.And I have a tube DAC (Musical Paradise MP D1 MKII with upgraded caps and 6922 tubes) which I enjoy as well. The DAC's are at opposite ends of the audio spectrum. Yes, the R... | |
| Non Analytical Sounding DAC Upgrade- Budget $1,500 or less I'm wondering if the Covid restriction on international shipping has had any effect on deliveries from companies like Audio Mirror, MHDT Labs, et al.What was your wait time? | |
| Inexpensive Headphone DAC The Topping D50 might be another choice, but it is more clinical sounding than the Modi 3, and more than twice as expensive.IMHO, with the new AKM chip, the Modi 3 sounds better than the Sabre chipped D50. |
