| 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. | |
| Jeff Rowland A sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to respond. This thread is representative of how posting a question can be of value...at least to me! I asked the same question to Jeff Rowland technical support and a dealer. I'm disappointed that th... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Ok, so what's better? Soundstage, bass, midrange? I'll have a M1 shortly and if I agree with your assessment, I'll be sure to post it! Listening always makes it clear. | |
| Jeff Rowland Stringreen,Do I detect a little sarcasm in your comments? | |
| Jeff Rowland Al,Thanks for the technical information. Now it makes sense why Rowland was hesitant to say for sure bridged 525s would work. | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC If you read my comments, I didn't say a particular DAC was better. My point was this is all subjective and no matter how good we submit something is, there is always better. The most recent DAC I listened to was the Esoteric. I didn't compare it t... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Fsmithjack,Reading your comments highlights what's wrong with highend. I compared the M1 two days ago to a directstream in my friends system. Yes, the M1 is better, but to my ears to say now that the Directstream is a piece a junk is laughable. I ... |
