| Is DEQX a game changer? Drewan77, I didn't realize you were using the DEQX mate, which does not have the digital inputs. I must have lost track of your contributions to this thread. Sorry 'bout that. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Drewan77, you wrote that the Chord DAC sounds better than the DEQX DAC. These cannot be directly be compared, because they operate at different points in the chain. If you are feeding the DEQX an analogue signal, the DEXQ must first convert it to ... | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? Yes its a good match. I find that 10 watts SET delivers high volume in a large open living room with preamp volume knob at 12:00. No real need for anything more than 10 tube watts with these speakers. | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? I use Wavac ec300B- very nice. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Drewan77, are you using the Chord in addition to the DEXQ? | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? I have both digital and analogue sources going to the DEQX model HDP4.The digital sources run directly to the DEQX, and the analogue sources pass through a conventional preamp before going to the DEQX. There is really no reason to use a convention... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Its true that this technology can make decent equipment sound like audiophile equipment. This is not an attractive feature for some, such as those who have invested megabucks in their analog gear, and some reviewers who are invested in the status ... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Ah, so you like the top end rolled off a little bit! Just kidding, I'm sure it sounds great. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Drewan77, by using the Gram Slee for streamer/laptop, you are introducing additional D/A and A/D steps. I tried this as well using top-rated DAC and analogue preamp, but I found that transparency and resolution were slightly improved by running th... | |
| bi amping with 4 monoblocks ? It depends on the power rating of the amp versus the power handling characteristics and efficiency of each individual driver. If the amps are sufficiently powerful and the drivers relatively efficient, then there would probably be no advantage to ... | |
| bi amping with 4 monoblocks ? I agree with Edwyun. I would also add that unless an active crossover is used, there is no real benefit to using 4 amps rather than 2. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? I did mine in the driveway. Buy yourself a decent moving dolly and attach some protective padding. Should be under $100 total. The outdoor measurement can be done with the speaker on the dolly. All you need is a speaker, an amp, and an available o... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? "I doubt schlepping the speakers and amp outside is an option either."Then you will not hear the best that the DEQX has to offer."If it took me more than a few bars to hear the change interest would be lost." Then you have a short attention span a... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Its great that they offered a demo, but it takes a fair amount of time to understand and appreciate the changes that the DEQX makes. I periodically remove mine from my system, to make sure that it continues to make a positive contribution. I've ne... | |
| The future of Hi-Rez is groovy The best parameter to use for this comparison is dynamic range, with numbers well above 100 for high res digital. The numbers speak for themselves. Although I have tons of vinyl, my ears tell me the same. Neither vinyl nor tape are high resolution... |
