| Bryston BDP-2 Zd542,No need to apologize, I understand it was your humor. I'm at the point that I want to complete my system and be done for awhile. | |
| Bryston BDP-2 Ozzy,First, thanks for the response. I looked at your system and see you have a Pass amp. My next purchase will be either a Pass 250.5, 250.8, or a pair of Parasound JC1s.I already have a 2TB external drive and a new Ipad mini to control the BDP-2... | |
| Bryston BDP-2 Zd542,The BDP-2 isn't a DAC? My DAC is a PS Audio DirectStream. I didn't pay anywhere close to $4100 for my speaker cables and ICs!I submit it's great that you're concerned about my marriage, but I post questions on Audiogon with the purpose of re... | |
| PS AUDIO PERFECT WAVE MKII I had a Perfectwave DAC MKII and tried it direct into my amp. I preferred to have the preamp in. At that time a had a Parasound P5 preamp. I decided to upgrade and purchased a Parasound JC2 preamp and PS Audio Directstream DAC. I tried the Directs... | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference I hate this hobby:)! I disconnected my Parasound JC2 and went from the PS Audio Directstream strait into the Parasound A21 amp via balanced cables and it sounds slightly better direct! I tried direct with the PS Audio Perfectwave DAC II and it was... | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference I should add, no transport. My next step is to try using a Mac mini and ipad. I need to read a little more regarding the best approach, because the last time I tried using a computer to download music I didn't like it. | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference I always like to close the loop when I ask a question. I decided to purchase a Parasound JC2 preamp and PS Audio Directstream DAC. I received both of them a week ago. Improvements, YES; unfortunately I can't tell you what component has had the mos... | |
| D-Sonic amp vs Halo A31 Runnin,I glad someone else said it, because Parasound is considered to be very reliable! | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference Knghifi,Thanks for your response. | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference Should I upgrade from the Perfectwave DAC II to the Directstream or keep the Perfectwave DAC II and upgrade my transport from a NAD 565bee CD player to a PS Audio PerfectWave Transport? I just upgraded my preamp and this will be my last upgrade fo... | |
| D-Sonic amp vs Halo A31 I'm hesitant to respond because I've never listened to D-Sonic amps. I owned the Peachtree 220SE and their Grand Integrated, both of them are Class D amps. It's my understanding that D-Sonics amps sound much better than Peachtree, but based on my ... | |
| Wilson Sophia 2 I've owned Wilson Sophia 2s, 3s, and Sashas. There aren't any absolutes in Audio and everyone has their own preferences; however based on my experience I would strongly encourage you to listen to Rockport Atrias, Revel, and Aerial speakers. I curr... | |
| Krell S300i vs Hegel H100 vs Parasound I've never heard the Parasound Integrated, but based on my experience I find it hard to believe that the treble would sound hot. I currently own a Parasound A21 and have owned and heard other Parasound amps. I submit Parasound is on the "warm" sid... | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference Nothing is/was wrong with the preamp. I don't have a "new preamp yet"; I'm currently running the PS Audio PWD through the P5. Prior to receiving the new DAC, I was going from my CD player to the preamp. Now I'm going from my CD player via a digita... | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference Raymonda,Okay you win...I'm not going to argue with you about what I hear in my system. I try to be very careful about not exaggerating my findings. The facts are the soundstage has opened up and there is more spacing between instruments. I look f... |
