| How important is the pre-amp? So I’ve ran both. My PS Audio DirectStream DAC Sr. Direct into a pair of PS Audio M700’s. An excellent pairing making me wonder why would I need a preamp for anyways. Then I got an BAT VK50-SE and ran Orchard Audio Gen1 StarKimson Amps on the Mids... | |

| Unofficial Orchard Audio StarKrimson Ultra Amplifier Owners Running the Ultra with the BAT Preamp this weekend elevated everything. Just like last years little monoblocks. These higher power modules reaches out to the lower Bass of any Speaker I throw at it !A great Amplifier just got greater. | |

Mostly Speakers and some electronics stuff.I just won’t spend my hard earned money (or credit) on pure snake oil. Instead, take th... | |
| Unofficial Orchard Audio StarKrimson Ultra Amplifier Owners @ricevs Get some serious shelving and footers....will blow your mind. Get all the cables off the floor.....way more open sound. Lots to do. Nah...that’s all crap talk. But I do have my AC wires separated (for the most part) from the line level (... | |
| Unofficial Orchard Audio StarKrimson Ultra Amplifier Owners I've used the PS Audio M700's and M300's for over a year. It was the sound of the Orchard Audio Amplifier's that won me over. I've already fooled people by teling them it's a Class A/b Amplifier with interior heat sinks for about 30 min. of listen... | |

| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. I'm also born in '69. I hated all that New Wave/Punk Shyte that was on the Radio growing up Southwest of Toronto in Hamilton, Ontario.I loved the Rock music of the 60's and 70's during the 1980's. Fortunately (in most cases), I saw a lot of the Ba... | |
| GaN based amplifier made in the USA from Class-D Audio USA I actually have the Orchard Audio StarKrimson Ultra on loan for the Arizona A/V Club to get passed around. Leo Ayzenshtat is great to work with and sent us the original StarKrimson (then BOSC) Amplifiers and power supplies last year. Yes, it was ... | |

Sony UBP-X800 (now the 800X2) or UBP-X1000ES (now the 1100ES) and these Chinese HDMI Video to I2S HDMI adapters and your all set.https://www.ebay.com/itm/124463489971?_trkparms=ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140127102845%26meid%3D5227400ac3084...Excellent trans... | |

| Audio PC I built my own Music Server/HTPC and use it for streaming music DSD & PCM and surf the web with the same Windows 10 PC. It has only 8GB of RAM, an Intel i7 Processor (2018 Vintage), and a Fanless Power Supply ( Seasonic X-400 Fanless PSU), and... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? Audio Mirror Tubadour III SE I saw a very clear and substantial improvement, all other things in my system being equal. Later I bought a PS Audio DirectStream Sr. DAC, it wasn’t as bright an improvement but it is clearly a better sounding DAC... |
