| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Bill,Thanks for the info and you are correct, the only way to know is to try it. I have decided to sell my DSD and purchase a M1. | |
| Parasound halo JC2 what a joke RunninDon't get me wrong, I submit that Parasound offers outstanding value | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC I'm guilty! I'm the one who reached out to Fsmithjack regarding the Bricasti M1. I'm currently using my DSD connected directly to my amplifier. I had a Parasound JC2 preamp, but I thought the DSD direct was more transparent and sold the JC2. In hi... | |
| Parasound halo JC2 what a joke Runnin,"If one can spend $10-15,000 on amps, more power to you. Recently in another forum a Parasound owner said he's upgrading to some super expensive brand because "after a while, you just want to move on to something better". Good for him, but ... | |
| Jeff Rowland I moved the bass traps out of the room, put them stacked back in the corner, put two behind the listening position, with two in the front corners and after a whole day of listening decided that one in each front corner and two behind the listening... | |
| Jeff Rowland Almarg,I just want to reiterate how much you have helped. Simply moving bass traps solved my problem, that many people would simply blame on the electronics. You have indeed saved me from spending money on another JR 525 or a new preamp. I'm still... | |
| Jeff Rowland Almarg,My other question is about the volume control on my PS Audio DSD DAC. I guess it operates as a passive preamp; consequently I need to turn the volume up to 70-80 for it to be adequate(70 normal listening, 75-80 loud). How does that affect t... | |
| Jeff Rowland Almarg,Thanks for taking the time to provide assistance. You are a smarter man than me!!!I moved the bass traps from out of the corner and put them behind my listening position. I promise I'm not exaggerating...my wife was downstairs and game upst... | |
| Jeff Rowland Stringreen,I just had a discussion yesterday with a friend regarding adding a sub. The thought was to add a JL F112. Unfortunately it would cost more than I currently want to spend...I don't have a preamp; therefore I would need to purchase the JL... | |
| Jeff Rowland Almarg,Speakers are as follows:the rear of the speakers are 4' 2" from the front wall8' apart, 4' 8" from sidewalls, I sit 10'away, my head is 6'away from the rear wallI have 2 GIK Soffit Bass traps in each front corner from floor to ceiling, 6 GI... | |
| Jeff Rowland G.,I take everything I read with a "grain of salt." I understand that everyone has their biases. I love the Rowland sound, but I'm lacking bottom end and I'm trying to find the most cost effective way to correct it. It could be the Rowland or a co... | |
| Jeff Rowland Jon2020,Yes, I sent you an email and didn't "post" my question. If you feel the need to post my "Private Message", you should post all of it. In addition, I said,"The JR M525 is very detailed, I compared it to a bryston 4bsst2 and parasound A21...... | |
| Jeff Rowland G.,Slightly warmer is fine, I don't want to loose detail, imaging, or the three dimensional soundstage. I already have a PS Audio Directstream DAC; therefore I don't need the DAC card. If your suggesting the DAC card is as good as my DAC, I would ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Well I'm 95% sure I'm going to get a Capri S2. I love my current sound, but I go direct from my Directstream DAC to the M525. I need the additional gain from adding a preamp. I just hope adding the S2 doesn't degrade the sound. | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Bill_k,You didn't upset me. This is only audio; not life and death. My guarantee was somewhat "tongue-in-cheek", meaning in this hobby someone else will declare the Bricasti is inferior to the DAC they prefer. |
