| Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts? @paulcreed What R2R DACs do you find are not compromised? | |
| Improving streaming SQ @veroguy Sounds good. Let me know if you do! | |
| Benefit of a Newer (Used) DAC - "Bang for the Buck?" @tds3371 I agree with @cal3713 Don't sweat the balanced design and go with the DAC that sounds the best to your ears. | |
| Benefit of a Newer (Used) DAC - "Bang for the Buck?" @cal3713 Well at 5x the price difference between the two DAC's I just wasn't blown away. I purchased the EVO B4B with a slew of upgrades to the analog sections. The Mojo had better micro details, cleaner dynamics, and slightly larger soundstage. B... | |
| Benefit of a Newer (Used) DAC - "Bang for the Buck?" @cal3713 Sounds like you kept the more emotionally engaging DAC. I recently tried the Mojo Mystique EVO and it was phenomenal. As you put it technically the better DAC. But I feel that my Border Patrol was slightly more "musical". Just made me sto... | |
| A Very Useful New Discovery--EON Digital Filter from Network Acoustics @lalitk I have the Gigfoil V4 powered by Mojo Illuminati V1 LPS with AQ Diamond Ethernet cable going into the ENO Ag. This feeds an upgraded PSU modded Bluesound node 2i into a Border Patrol SEi DAC with a AQ Dragon Source power cable and Inakusti... | |
| Benefit of a Newer (Used) DAC - "Bang for the Buck?" @cal3713 I saw your ad for the Holo May but it sold before I could reach out. So if you could only pick one would it be that or the AM?-Alex | |
| A Very Useful New Discovery--EON Digital Filter from Network Acoustics @mwgreene 100% cleaning up the network has been just as important as upgrading a component. It’s the true source. Do you have anything upstream of the ENO? I felt that the Gigafoil V4 is just as important.-Alex | |
| A Very Useful New Discovery--EON Digital Filter from Network Acoustics @lalitk Wow! Stunning system. I love Tannoy's but the only one I've heard are the Sterlings which sounded awesome. | |
| A Very Useful New Discovery--EON Digital Filter from Network Acoustics @lalitk What else is in your chain with the ENO? | |
| Improving streaming SQ @veroguy I love my Gigafoil (w/LPS) and just ordered another for my second system. Also had an EtherRegen upstream just ahead of the router. I recently added the ENO Ag after the Gigfoil and right before my Streamer. I felt I didn't need the Ether... | |
| A Very Useful New Discovery--EON Digital Filter from Network Acoustics I just received my ENO Ag from Rich. My Ethernet chain consisted of EtherRegen and Gigafoil V4 closest to my Streamer. After some A/B tests the best combo for me was router-Gigafoil-ENO-Streamer. The biggest change was larger soundstage and micro ... | |
| Best DAC for around $2,500 or less I received both the Schiit Bifrost 2 and Border Patrol SE-i recently to compare a couple of well reviewed DACs. I have to say that the Schiit was not very impressive to my ears so that is going to be returned. Sure it sounds nice but overall not a... | |
| Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner?? @milpai I was and still very happy with the unit but as I mentioned my amplifier started to exhibit a louder hum coming from the transformers. I thought it was an issue with my amp and didn’t relate it to the conditioner. I accidentally stumbled u... | |
| Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner?? @dvdboulet It was very easy and no soldering required. Just need to remove the screws and slide the top plate off the unit. The IEC AC Inlet connecters are clipped in so it was a simple swap and we were done.-Alex |
