| Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors? It seems like a room interaction to me also. These speakers need room to breath based on my limited time with a couple different Rockport speakers, and plenty of current delivery to properly drive them. Get them right though, and you will have spe... | |
| Bass traps - too many choices!! Acoustimac bass traps are fantastic as well. They are the only company that would custom make and ship one piece traps that go from floor to ceiling in my room. They worked great for me. Flawless fit/finish and a snap to install. | |
| Opinions: Joseph Audio Pulsar vs Dynaudio Conficence C1 vs Totem Element Fire vs ????? Pulsar is the "overall" monitor champ IMO. The ATC recommendation is also a good one. Pulsar is a great combination of in-room presence and soundstage accuracy, as are the ATC. The ATC with the right electronics may be a bit superior with regards ... | |
| Upgrade from X-ACT to Schiit DAC You open to ripping your CD's to files? If so, the Sony HAP-Z1ES is an extremely killer sounding piece that is such a joy to use. You cannot beat it for the price. Has USB port to hang an extra drive for storage in addition to its built in 1TB. Yo... | |
| Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have?????? Sold all your expensive gear and bought powered speakers with built in DAC! | |
| Looking for a Network Music Player Aries Mini, Sonore products may also work well. | |
| New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better? You can’t compare the power grid setup to what you have there. It is all about having low impedance power delivery for digital gear IME, so that transformer really cannot help things.... You need fast current delivery for these high speed digital ... | |
| New Luxman DA-06 doesnt sound so great. Will it get better? Wouldn't surprise me if that step down wasn't killing the music....If it was me, I would see about sending it in to Luxman to get the right transformer put in it for your voltage requirement. | |
| pros and cons: beryllium vs ribbon tweeters in sound and emotions terms You really have to listen to them to determine what is for you. They can all work well with system matching.My favorite and best all around to my ears is the Seas Excel. Every time I hear a speaker with these tweeters, I like them!!Involving, natu... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I am familiar with one single product that is completely immune to the source, and that is the Empirical Audio Synchro Mesh. I have put countless digital sources in front of this product, and they all sound equally good using the Synchro Mesh afte... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Yep. It is double the price now, so it must be better! ;)All crap aside, the DAVE has many fans already, and I am very curious what this advanced FPGA approach to DAC’s has to offer.All of the Chord DAC’s I have heard are pretty good, but they sac... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Steve,Very cool. So DSD over Dop at the SPDIF--AES/EBU outputs? When will the OR6 be prime time? Cost? Come with Dynamo or this optional as well?Does your Power Block Galvanic isolate?? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks Steve. So the Offramp 6 will do USB in and USB out? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hey Steve,Ya, I get that all should be earthed, but my DAC and Preamp will not run signal transformers very well. Neither have a ton of drive, but they sure sound AWESOME. It has 2 short interconnect paths to ground. :) Could I transformer couple... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Yes Steve,I am also very interested in your take on grounding in the digital domain for sure.I have almost everything in my system AC grounded, including all external power supplies, and noticed a nice improvement in weight and focus AC grounding ... |
