| Tube DAC with i2s input? I was in a similar situation and had a Denafrips Pontus II with the Iris DDC using an I2S cable. I moved to a Lampizator Atlantic TRP with no DDC and using the USB input. It was a rather dramatic improvement in resolution and soundstage wit... | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? I have really enjoyed my Linear Tube Audio Microzotl preamp. They just came out with the level 3 version. I have a level 2 and have loved the resolution versus previous preamps. I switched from 12SN7 to NOS 6SN7 and I thought the sound improved... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile I love this thread. My first aha moment was in 1983 when I bought Celestion Ditton speakers. Loved them. Listened to mostly rock, new wave, alternative. I wish I still had them | |
| Pre Amp Question. Old or New? Different models than you are asking about, but I had a Rogue RP-1 into a Rogue Stereo 100. I then bought an ARC LS7 preamp. I thought it sounded much better, more detailed than the RP-1. My experience is similar to what the AI answer from @ghd... | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles @erik_squires one of the greatest posts ever. I love meatloaf. My wife hates it. I love this audiophile experience and the process of figuring out what I like. She likes Spotify. But we are both happy. To each his own. Just find what you lik... | |
| How do I connect my speaker cables to this Coda Amp I just looked up your amp. Those appear to be the same as the binding posts I have so it may be worth a try. I have the standard size spades on Nordost cables (Purple Flare) | |
| How do I connect my speaker cables to this Coda Amp If this is like my Pass Labs XA25 amp that has Furutech binding posts with the clear cover, try the following. If you are looking from the front over the rear of the amp, there is a slit at the top of the clear part that the spades slide into and... | |
| Looking for a new DAC I would also consider a Lampizator DAC. I just got a Lampizator Atlantic TRP (tube rollers paradise). I previously had a Denafrips Pontus II with an Iris DDC. While that was a very good combo, the Lampi is more detailed, better bass and a vastly l... | |
| Upscale Audio is up front with customers I have bought tubes from them and they are fantastic to work with. Their videos are also helpful and straightforward | |
| Upcoming Trip +1 soix. I have those headphone and they are great for flights. I have the momentum 4s too, which have been an upgrade over my AirPods pro | |

| DAC recommendation for DSD input I have a Sonore UltraRendu and have played native DSD files through two DACS. The album I have listened to most is Puente Celeste - Nama. My previous setup was a Denafrips Pontus II with the Denafrips Iris DDC. The sound was amazing and very liv... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? Stevie Ray Vaughan opening for Huey Lewis My Morning Jacket opening for Guided By Voices | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... I have not heard Accuphase amps, but recently added a Pass XA-25 to my system. I have previously owned the First Watt M2 and Sit-3 amps. I am using the XA-25 with high sensitivity open baffle speakers (100dB, 8 ohms) and Fritz tower speakers (un... | |
