| what dacs are fast, lively, energetic? I’ll agree with the others suggesting Chord. I bought a qutest with an SBooster and stopped my search. I run luxman and harbeth after the qutest and I was looking for a similar sound that you describe. Pretty great combo for 2k! | |
| Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary No love here for Lumin? I started with a D2 with S booster and stopped my search for a streamer/dac. I love the software and isn’t glitchy. I’ll end up with a T3 when I decide to upgrade. In all fairness I didn’t try a bunch and was coming from a ... | |
| Updating my streamer I’ll throw the Lumin D2 with the SBooster out there as a solid option. I love mine and haven’t looked else where yet. I have a smaller listening room and consider my amplification top notch. Sound is full without harshness and the best I’ve heard ... | |
| AI-Written Stereophile Articles @ozzy62 man that made me laugh. Dead on there | |
| XLR to RCA conversion Jesse at Pine tree makes a balanced to unbalanced converter. It is an amazing piece. I use it between my Lumin D2 and amplifier. | |
| Lumin P1 or Pre / Streamer / DAC separates? Curious if the P1 is still delivering over there. I run a D2 direct to my amp and the P1 is on my short list. | |
| Preamp Gain issues with high efficiency speakers This is a battle you just aren't going to win with your current gear..

| Nearfield listening - once more Near field open baffle in my small 12x11 room is amazing! Full range 15" drivers and the music never feels overbearing until I really crank it up. Normal listening levels though are like being at a live show at times! | |

| Hattor Audio preamps? Talking with Arek he suggested the AMRG to me. His words were they were more musical. This was in response to wanting more "body or warmth" in the setup. | |
| Hattor Audio preamps? @mitch2 Sounds like you have 1 too many on your hands.....just saying :) | |
| Hattor users - thoughts on Tube active stage? also, I just realized you are on another post and responded to me already 🤦♂️ | |
| Hattor users - thoughts on Tube active stage? Wish you had gotten some responses to your post. Care to share your thoughts on your Hattor w/ the AMRG resistors? I am looking at possibly buying a Khozmo with them and Haven't been able to decide for sure. | |
| DIY Hifi Django Mini TVC Pre @tommylion Are you still using the Django? | |
| Hattor Audio preamps? I appreciate the replies! My current situation: I have a new 3 stage 300b amp from Radu Tarta. It is amazing! The catch is that it doesn't need my Radu 26 DHT preamp infront of it. So I'm looking at going the passive route. I currently have a Lu... |
