| Replacement amp for outlaw rr2160 If you need bass management, the Elac integrated or the new Parasound Classic integrated are two that come to mind. They both are smaller form factors than the Outlaw as well. | |
| RMAF 2019! My first time to RMAF. The venue was not really to our liking. Waits for the various restaurants were always 1-1.5hrs. Captive pricing was in full force and I found myself grabbing Ubers to get the heck out of there. Also, the hotel thought it wou... | |
| DAC Event in Phoenix AZ August 24th @melm, you are correct in your thinking. It is possible a second place dac could have beat a finalist. It was just the way the bracketing system worked within the time constraints we had. Kind of like March Madness. | |
| DAC Event in Phoenix AZ August 24th @audionoobie, Black Ice sells through dealers as far as I know. Underwood Hifi is one of them. For the event, I just contacted them directly via the website information. @toneranger58 , the test tracks are not listed anywhere. I am going to see ... | |

| Node2i + Qutest or Yggy or Codex or something else @PC_Audio, I was at the DAC event mentioned above. We actually had a Yggy and Qutest there. Both went to the final round. The end result: 1st Place = Black Ice Audio Glass FX DSD Wifi 2nd Place = Chord Qutest 3rd Place = Schiit Yggradsil. Fo... | |
| Salk Audio Sound Agree with above posters on the Song3 BeATs being forgiving of bad recordings but still very resolving. They are great sounding speakers and the build quality is amazing. | |
| DAC Event in Phoenix AZ August 24th @melm, sorry for the wait we are going to publish the results along with some pictures of the event on our webpage soon. Stay tuned. :) | |
| Your favorite Small Apartment Speakers Joseph Audio Pulsars but I don't think they play low enough to do the double bass drums in metal any justice. The Polks mentioned above might be a better fit for that genre. | |
| DAC Event in Phoenix AZ August 24th Hi Folks, Just a reminder the event is happening this Saturday! There is still plenty of room for anyone interested in attending. As mentioned above, there will be a second demo system showcasing Chord equipment. This system will consist of a Hugo... | |
| DAC Event in Phoenix AZ August 24th Another update: A cadre from Chord will now be present bringing with them an assortment of gear from their line. They will be set up in a couple of additional demo rooms and free to talk about their line and audio technology in general. If yo... | |
| DAC Event in Phoenix AZ August 24th Update: The Chord DAC in the shootout will now be the Qutest. A Hugo TT will still be present but part of different system in another demo room. | |
| DAC Event in Phoenix AZ August 24th @hgeifman I imagine there will be a follow up once the event is over. One of the recent Speakerfest attendees did a great write up after the event with impressions of the various speakers. | |
| Portable budget system. Class D Audio I have the SDS-470C and it has been great for the past several years. I would not use it with really sensitive speakers though as it is a bit noisy...not an issue with the Elacs.I would also not use any of the Class D Audio amps with a passive pre... | |
| Scottsdale Speakerfest, 6/29/19 Glad you came! The Salks were Song3 beAts. Having spent some time with them, I can say they actually handle rough recordings better than one would expect. Detailed yet smooth and forgiving is how I would describe them.The Joseph’s came alive (alon... |
