| New to DAC, need advice. @mahler123 thanks for the response. I replaced the Zdac with the Pro-ject Pre Box S2 Digital ($400) and it's been great. | |
| New to DAC, need advice. @crock442 I'm using the Windows app for streaming. | |
| Screaming bargains in DSD-capable DACs? Pro-ject Pre Box S2 Digital is crazy inexpensive and sounds amazing to my ears. | |
| New to DAC, need advice. @2psyop Well I got the Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital. I appreciate everyone's input. I can say without hesitation this DAC is FAR superior to the Parasound Zdac whether playing MQA files or anything else. I could not be happier with my choice. To my... | |
| Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital: MQA HW decoding at reasonable cost -Anyone have this? @stoks and @azthu I just got one and it refuses to recognize MQA files from Tidal. It sounds far better than the Parasound Zdac I had but I can't seem to get the MQA display in the upper right corner. Any thoughts? | |
| New to DAC, need advice. @2psyop Thank you very much. I appreciate you educating me without being condescending to my lack of knowledge. You wouldn't have an Ayre lying around that you'd sell to me for the price of the Pro-ject would you? Figured I'd ask... | |
| New to DAC, need advice. @2psyop I'm streaming Tidal HiFi from my Windows 10 PC to the ZDac via USB then into a Micromega IA-100 integrated. So I'm ok with USB to the Pro-ject. I like the dual mono as well and it's certainly in my price range. I'm curious about your comme... | |
| New to DAC, need advice. @2psyop I'm definitely playing HiFi and MQA files and did not consider that the ZDac could not handle those correctly. Well I did discover in my troubleshooting that MQA files are out but didn't know about HiFi. That may be my decision right there... | |
| New to DAC, need advice. @kalali and @ amg56 I’m using my Windows 10 PC as the source with USB. I’ll check out the Bluesound, thank you both. | |
| New to DAC, need advice. @gdnrbob unfortunately the Gugnir and Yggy are out of my price range for now. But thank you for the suggestion. | |
| New to DAC, need advice. @jond i'm fairly new to Tidal and I don't see where you can determine the resolution of the song you are streaming. I have the HiFi membership and play Master recordings when available. But I'm fairly certain the files it acted up on were not Mast... | |
| New to DAC, need advice. Thanks for the input. I was leaning that way as well for the MQA but wanted to see if anyone felt very strongly about repairing the ZDac or had a third option/suggestion. | |
| New to DAC, need advice. Erik thanks for the reply. I really like the ZDAC as well but I'm hesitant to listen to anything at volume because when the static kicks in it's REALLY loud and I'm afraid of damaging my new speakers. Everyone seems to agree Mytek (well out of my ... |
