| USB to SPDIF Converters I posted a short review of the v-link in the digital section. It's a sweet unit used with my rega DAC.Rob | |
| What is the best DAC under $500? CONTRARY to what many people claim, differences between DACs are much smaller than what you'd gather from all of the "This DAC blew away that DAC" threads.After hearing a DacMagic for 429 bucks go up against my Rega, EE Minimax Plus and an ARC Dac... | |
| Musical Fidelity V-Link with Rega DAC REVIEW Drdennis,So far as I understand, the only way to get hi res via the Rega DAC is with the converter. The USB on the Rega is only 16 bit, so the USB out from the Mac, through the V-Link to the Rega DAC was the best route.I am so pleased with the sou... | |
| Rega Dac USB vs Toslink I did not try the Toslink, so pardon me if I'm wasting your time. However some suggested that the Rega DAC is best when using the SPDIF connection. I added the 99 dollar Musical Fidelity V-link and found that the Rega's sound was improved even fur... | |
| Important Re Opamp Rolling Plus Version of EE DAC Doug,My friend sold his EE Minimax and also the Minimax Plus just a couple of days ago. He just didn't want to mess around and could not dial out a midbass hump or bloated quality. He borrowed a couple of pricey tubes and got nowhere.He's going to... | |
| Can best optical player rival best computer source Just two months ago I would have said that computer based audio was a notch behind the better CD players. After adding a mac/Rega DAC to my system and hearing some other systems I've learned that the CDP is now a notch below. On average they are o... | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC Foster 9,I think that most people buying tube components expect a certain level of DIY. My friend has, for now, abandoned the Minimax Plus and is using the ARC and Centrance DACs. He continues to report that the Centrance midrange is the best of a... | |
| Is theRega Saturn a major upgrade over the Apollo Rega dac with old oppo DVD player bested the 840c in my comparison.Rob | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC Mrtennis....agreed it will cost you nothing. The issue I and my friends have is that the tube DAC's having nothing "tube-like" in their character that we can hear. All of that tube sound comes from the amps and pre amps. Try pulling the tube (late... | |
| Hi-rez using Rega and E. Electric Plus DAC So far I'm not a true believer in hi res and here's why....1) I hear minimal differences in the best cases2) There's a good deal of science pointing to the fact that 24 bit differences are inaudible using the same recordings. Often the difference ... | |
| Hi-rez using Rega and E. Electric Plus DAC I'm using the Rega with a Musical Fidelity V-Link converter, which cost all of 99 dollars. A new version out costs 189 dollars. So far no issues, but the unit is on loan. I'm getting one on Christmas day and will review carefully. But based on my ... | |
| Too many DAC decisions I have had the entertaining chance to listen to the following DACs in my system (Manley Stingray II and Merlin TSM-MXr speakers) and with my friends system, Vandy 5a speakers with mostly all ARC power.DACs we've listened to...Rega, W4S 2 Minimax, ... | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC MrTennis....great that you are enjoying your system and I have no doubt that it's excellent sounding. I think most of the systems owned by members here vary from very good to outstanding. But we all have different goals with our systems. Some seek... | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC MrTennis,I do agree that the tube DACs sound different, but I do not find them Euphonic in any manner consistant with what I expect from tubes. Mainly what I hear from them is a midrange that is LESS transparent and thicker to the point that it is... | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC Mr. Tennis,I've heard a lot of tube gear recently. I'm on board with the "tube sound" fully (that's why I own a tube amp and will never go back to SS power), but I don't buy or hear it's advantages in a DAC, quite the opposite. I have heard two ot... |
