| First Watt Sit-3 paired with Klipsch Cornwall lV? I have an analagous setup with Nelson’s First Watt clone Aleph J and Crites B speakers which I have enjoyed for several years now. Better than stuff costing 1000s more, collecting dust now :-( | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? It started with Napster ~20 yrs ago Record companies lost control over the product and the loss of money followed. Now there is a mountain of garbage that nobody has time to sift through. Similar to what’s been happening to the US over the las... | |
| AKM makes the best DACs Disagree with the thread title. Erik is usually not one of the closed minded types ;-) Would rather say AKM makes ONE on the best DACs. My preferance is for ESS Sabre. | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II I would agree with you in that many situations the BS DAC sounds great without an outboard modern edition of DAC. I have found that in many cases, the fewer components in the chain sound better than more high quality components. IE a minimalist f... | |

| Different R2R DACs Yes Agree with Charles and Big Kid | |
| Different R2R DACs Auditioned the MHDT Orchid and was not too impressed. Although it didn’t have any flaws either. Returned it and took the 10% penalty. Right now I’m content with RME ADI2 followed by a tube buffer(Ifi itube2). Equipment: AtmaM60, Zu DruidV | |
| Audio Mirror vs Prima Luna tube DAC Re Primaluna gear... Some general comments with regard to gear: Their stuff is well built, solid, and reliable, akin to the automobile industry of today. So reliable and well designed, your inclined to take it for granted. Very clean build. If ... | |
| $39K for the Linn Klimax DAC/streamer? Would it be too much to ask for some transparency on the cost? Have the seller list parts, labor, patent, shipping etc, with corresponding cost. If it can't be produced, then stay away. Problem solved. | |
| Audio Mirror vs Prima Luna tube DAC Agree with just about everything Jerry has said here.Re : (warm & lush VS detailed & analytical or whatever)....will also add that often in my experience I am giving up one of these qualities for another , usually in the dacs implementation. | |
| Bluesound Vault Combined with Node 2 Anyone know if my extensive classical collection can be categorized by *last* name rather than first? | |
