| Gustard R26 ladder DAC sound signature - comments? I tried the Gustard last year and I wasn’t impressed either. | |
| Ayre QX-5 Twenty I have the qx-5 dac. It is my favorite dac that I have owned, and I have owned close to 15 dacs over the last 3-4 years. I’ve had the T+A Dac 200, Denafrips T2, Holo May, Audio Mirror, Gustard, Topping, Aqua La Scala, Weiss 501, Mojo Mystique, Mus... | |
| Ethernet opinions I have heard from someone who works for Aurender, that their streamers do cache entire songs when “streaming” | |
| Fiber to my Etherregen… Sonore OM or generic? I would get a $20 FMC off of Amazon. You may not even need the LPS since the other end feeding your system will have the LPS...assuming your EtherRegen has an LPS. I got one called 10Gtek and it works with my Etherregen | |
| AAVIK THE BEST KEPT Sereat IN DIGITAL How would you rate the Aavik D-280? Does it pull it’s weight at $10k? | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? The Leo bodnar is a clock….not a ddc. It doesn’t have any audio inputs or outputs….it has a coax antenna input and 2 bnc clock outputs | |
| LPS U1MINI LHY Audio has a nice lps for the Lumin U1mini. I’m using it on my Lumin U2MINI. I bought mine from Ali Express for $100 cheaper than authorized dealer sells them for. I’m using the LHY LPS 80VA. It sounds a bit better than the Sbooster that I was ... | |
| Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options? Ginko Audio has some budget friendly speaker vibration control. They cost less than $400 for my speakers….the Isoacoustics for my speakers would cost me over $1500 | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I’ve owned the Gryphon Diablo300 with the built in Dac. Spending $2-$4k on a used dac will give you much better results with any streamer you end up getting. The Musetec, Holo May, Denafrips Terminator2 or +, $3k Audio mirror will outperform that ... | |
| LHY OR SBooster LPS I have the Sbooster in my U2 mini. I’m using the Audiosensibility conversion kit. The LHY kit looks like the better choice with all of those caps and extra parts that the other conversion kits don’t have. It’s very easy to do, but I’m not sure if ... | |
| Baffled and Frustrated: Streaming/DAC Sound Issues Are you running room correction with the Anthem? Maybe the anthem is converting the signal to digital again to perform it’s room correction, then using it’s inferior dac to convert it again to analog. | |
| ATC 19's modified using Gr Research kit Danny knows that the engineers of those brands are required to build those speakers to a certain price point. Danny is offering upgrades for the components of those speakers that were used to meet a certain price point. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 @vthokie83 that is very true. Very rarely did I have the same speakers, amps, or streamer with each different dac. Way too many variables in my system to give a reliable opinion, but I really like the T+A Dac200 w/ the Lumin U2 mini :) | |
| Mcintosh Streamer or a DAC? The RME ADI2DACFS is $1299 on Amazon. Very nice dac and easy to return if you don’t like it. The topping D90se is probably the best under $1k | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 I agree…most dac’s sound very similar, until you find the one that really sucks or is really good. |
