| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I submit at this level it's about preference and component synergy. My friend compared the Aurrender N1O to the Antipodes DX and preferred the DX in his system(Absolare amp and preamp, Raidho C3.1 speakers, and the Chord Dave DAC). I have the Anti... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Guido,I believe he's referring to the fact that Matt has his Antipodes DX for sale. | |
| AVR vs. reasonable seperates Look into the new ATI amplifiers. They can be configured for 2 or more channels depending on your needs. | |
| Which server / renderer to buy? The bottom line is, "we" don't know what we don't know. I'm fortunate to have access to a lot of equipment. A couple months ago I compared Absolare mono-amps to Jeff Rowland 725 mono-amps and the Bricasti amplifier. In addition, a comparion betwee... | |
| Which server / renderer to buy? I see several comments regarding wasting money. Who determines if something is a waste of money? Of course the individual does. We can't put value on something for someone else. I enjoy my Antipodes DS GT. It has contributed to my overall enjoymen... | |
| How to add center channel to stereo I 2nd the ZVOX. I just added one to my television in my living room due to the poor sound quality. I'm really happy with the results. | |
| Marantz Community infinitydff,I had a Marantz SR5011 and MM7055 power amplifier. I sold them and purchased an ATI AT523NC 3-channel amplifier and Marantz AV 7702 mkii. There is a significant difference and I submit a better option than adding another Marantz amplif... | |
| 2017 amps - $10K to $15K who is on your short list? Jeff Rowland 625 S2, but the list price is 16K. | |
| Which server / renderer to buy? cjk5933,"You agree with those who suggest a configuration by passing the USB port." Have you directly compared a music server that's designed to utilize the USB port to one that used a different output? If not, what do you base your opinion on? | |
| Which server / renderer to buy? To try to simply all of your options, you need to determine your budget. My other advice is to look at components through the lens of preference, as opposed to better. Many components are system/room dependent and the user’s ear. My favorite sayin... | |
| Which server / renderer to buy? rbstehno,I use USB from my Antipodes DS GT to my Rowland Aeris DAC. I prefer it over my previous Bryston BDP2 and Aeris DAC connected via AES. Antipodes prefers a USG connection, so in my case I don't understand the issue with USB from music serve... | |
| Which server / renderer to buy? Look into Antipodes. I have the DS GT, that replaced my Bryston BDP2. I recently listened to the Antipodes DX in my system. I submit their music servers are simply outstanding. | |
| DAC or Music Server I had the opportunity to compare a couple of things in my system over the past few days. I’ve decided the best way forward is to purchase the new Jeff Rowland PSU. As I try to mature in this hobby, I realize that different doesn’t equate to prefer... | |

| $10k DAC in a 3k system? In my humble opinion one part doesn't equal same performance. Based on my understanding, the power supply is very important with so many components, including digital. Maybe Al can chime in, he has way more technical knowledge than I have. |
