| Bryston BDA-2 Or Yggdrasil Help Erik,Can you please explain to us what modern sound means? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Bill-k took my words. Wanted to ask exactly the same. | |
| Focal Mezzo Utopia Be Upgrades I agree with BRF. It is a tough call. At least here in Europe you can find used Alto Utopia BE-s for 5k easily. I`ve seen many sold for 4200-4500€ a pair. In US the prices are probably higher. | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? Cleo,Absolutely agree that there must be something special in Bitstream. I have a Marantz SA-1 that uses dual DAC7 (TDA1547) 1-bit Dual Bitstream. So far no digital I have owned or tried have ever touched it. And yes, I have had a loads of differe... | |
| What is most important part of a system? Sorry to hear. Now I see why the power-plants and other mains tweaks are so popular. In the time when I was living in the apartment I also felt that in evenings the music sounded a bit better. | |
| Metrum Musette or Schitt Gungnir Multibit? Chord is just too cute to drop it in battle. :)) | |
| What is most important part of a system? Yep, Schubert we know that sound depends of your room and electricity, but it will not change the recording quality. :)P.S. What`s with your electricity in US? | |
| What is most important part of a system? Yep, Audioman, but mediocre systems need their own recordings to sound good. Most of the mainstream stuff is recorded crappy, so it will sound good in your car radio or iPhone ........Agree, recording is the beginning of the signal and if it`s cra... | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? limniscate,Maybe they are the same :)) ......... probably no? | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? The Ares gets some very good user reviews. But as noted at Head-Fi, the Ares uses many small capacitors in its design... Yes it was discussed in HF forum. Small caps were chosen by designer for some reasons. One is that they react faster than b... | |
| best speakers what do you think Bassdude,Thanks for sharing your experiences.My experience with AMT is based on Monitor Audio PL II series. These are some of the most holographic 3D stage speakers. But the only weakness I find is that they are missing some snap and attack on fas... | |
| What is most important part of a system? Just wanted to add that my profuse term "night and day differences" is also most subjective. It`s dependent of different systems (rooms), personal preferences, hearing skills/abilities etc. | |
| CDP Repair or Replace? Seeking advice Please Grm, Cambridge AZUR 840C is supposed to be a nice (mid-fi) player but if I was in your shoes, then I would probably sell it in ebay as defective and bought Denafrips ARES for $600 + $50 shipping. You can use your Sony as a transport and have a r... | |
| What is most important part of a system? Bigkids, My comment was meant as a joke a bit. I am confident that your DAC is super but since I`m in Europe it will be difficult for me to test it, though the temptation is high.P.S. I hear quite a substantial differences in different digital fro... | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? Someone in HF promised to compare The Audio GD DAC 19 to Ares so chances are that there will be some info soon. Audio GD is supposed to be very good also but if we check spec the R2R ladder resistors in audio GD are 0,1% precision (DA M1 modules)... |
