| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC Removing the tube is the way to go. My friend found it superior in the midrange even after trying some nice borrowed tubes. In our estimation there was something "thick" sounding in the tube stage and changing tubes did not alter it.He sold it bec... | |
| Bose 901 series VI & Yamaha A-S2000 Russ69, with all due respect this is not "back in the day." It's now and I've never heard anyone comment that the original 901's were best until now. The versions I heard sounded a good deal better than I remembered and I was impressed. Stereophil... | |
| Any word from anyone on AudiogoN about the new Rega Apollo R CDP? You're asking questions that really can't be answered yet. I had no trouble with the Apollo and less than perfect discs. The new R Version is likely to have improvements, but it won't be a vast improvement as in digital we get very small changes/i... | |
| Bose 901 series VI & Yamaha A-S2000 Rrog, there's more than "Bose bashing" when it comes to this sort of thing. Believe your ears first and everyone else second. When it comes to audio people either rave or rant and often without feet planted firmly.Years ago I heard about a speaker... | |
| Bose 901 series VI & Yamaha A-S2000 +1 on the Bose 901's. For years I read in forums as audiophiles bashed these famous speakers, but had not heard a new pair until recently.FYI, I run Merlin TSM-MXr speakers with Manley tube amp, so I'm certainly nowhere near the "Bose mindset."BUT... | |
| Any word from anyone on AudiogoN about the new Rega Apollo R CDP? +1 on the Rega DAC. I also tried the Apollo and it's a good player. But the Rega DAC opens the soundstage and air around instruments, mated with the Mac Mini or an old Oppo DVD player. I might consider the Apollo R as a better transport, but I do ... | |
| Musical Fidelity V-Link with Rega DAC REVIEW Sorry...meant SPDIF coax instead of optical. Rob | |
| spdif from win 7 laptop to rega dac. No sound. Sounds like the issue is a setting on your laptop. Look at the settings.Good luck,Rob | |
| Musical Fidelity V-Link with Rega DAC REVIEW I do have the latest Mac Mini, but I was told that it's optical was not the best way to go. I admit that I never tried it...guilty!I was also under the impression that the Rega DAC did best with SPDIF.Rob | |
| Any word from anyone on AudiogoN about the new Rega Apollo R CDP? I have not heard it, but the price is going to be 1095.00 according to Rich at Signature Sound. I have not heard one yet!Rob | |
| What is the best DAC under $500? Seekburk....Observations like mine are rarely popular. Especially for those who paid a lot for certain components that are quickly eclipsed by stuff costing much less. In the world of digital things move fast and plenty of audiophiles focus their ... | |
| Finally saved 3000 what is a good setup. I also like organ music. Currently I own a pair of TSM-MXr speakers, which continue to amaze me. I have a sub for the low notes!We all tend to like what we own. There are some great choices out there, but if tonal excellence and image/soundstage a... | |
| amarra or pure music..? Before making a final choice I listened to both Amarra and PM on my friends system, which consists of Vandersteen 5a speakers, ARC power and a Rega DAC which recently replaced the EE Minimax Plus DAC.Using either interface was easy, so I don't rea... | |
| Which DAC w/ More Top to Bottom Extension? I have heard the Centrance Dacmini, EE Minimax Plus, W4S 2, Dacmagic and I own the Rega DAC. I have heard all in the same system and several in mine. The Centrance is among my favorites along with the Rega, but for bass, this is how I rank them:1)... | |
| What is the best DAC under $500? Seeburk,I'm officially calling "the emperor has no clothes" on the Minimax Plus. It's a fine DAC, but really no better than many others overall. I feel that most people don't have the chance to compare these DACs against others in a conclusive way... |
