| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC Tubegroover....agree 100%The W4S DAC 2 and Centrance were in my system for about 3-4 hours. How much time was spent with each I couldn't say. The original Minimax was played for about a solid hour against the Rega, also in my system.The Rega was t... | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC One thing is for certain. I've certainly come to doubt the idea that you can walk into a shop and seriously compare these DACs. Even with two hours of careful listening in a system we know well, the differences between the Rega and Minimax were ve... | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC MrTennis, this is not a small group of people reporting this in their systems. Even before he got the Minimax Plus we had both read numerous forum comments from folks who felt it was a better SS DAC than with the tube. Why have it? You like it wit... | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC Charles,I don't know many people who assume a tube DAC is best. In fact most shy away from them in my experience. I do think think there's a bit of expected "mojo" from tubes, but I think it's usually to be found with amps and pre-amps. I find my ... | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC Well said, Bill. I'm not a fan of tube DACs but plenty of people seem to love them. Mt friend is not happy that the Minimax Plus works best sans tube, but my answer to that is SO WHAT? It's still a great DAC and he could also try some tube rolling... | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC I agree with Tubegroover. Check first.Rob | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC Try this link at Audiocircle (If the link is allowed)http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=98695.0That's one of several I remembered reading, with at least a couple of people pulling the tube entirely and running in SS. Does this void the war... | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC I think EE believes they do tubes best. But in the case of their DAC, the SS mode is incredibly good. Some folks are removing the tube and reporting that the unit is even better that way-not sure why. My friend is going to try some different tubes... | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC The Mimimax Plus is a SS component with a tube that can be employed. As with the original Minimax we found the SS mode superior, though by the slimmest of margins. Swapping the tubes could change that, but the main point is that there was nothing ... | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC I really liked the Minimax Plus. I do wish EE would abandon the tube or dedicate themselves to it 100%, instead of making it a switch. Most people don't get the chance to audition DACs in their own homes back-to-back. This has been very interestin... | |
| How do you rip CDs on a new version mac mini? Apple's move to cut the built in drive wasn't a smart one. I own the newest Mini and it's certainly less elegant to have to add the the external drive. For 70 bucks you can add the matching Apple drive or a generic one for 35 bucks. The people I s... | |
| Can Vandy's get along with cats? Just an update: The story about an owner putting his can down after it did damage to his speakers (and other items) is 100% true. It wasn't my cat. They weren't my speakers. I'm simply relating a story. If it angers you I'm sorry.Calling me names ... | |
| Can Vandy's get along with cats? My friend had Vandy 3a and a pair of Paradigm subs. There were no problems...until one day he came home to find one of the speakers and both subs "clawed." Though the cat was probably not aware of what was going on, it is now buried behind his hou... | |
| Rega DAC vs. EE Minimax vs. Centrance vs. W4S 2 MrTennis, It's true that some DACS have tubes and others do not, but this means little if the overall synergy is not there. The owner of the Minimax prefers it without the tube. And I also seem to recall a great review of the unit also finding it ... | |
| ShengYa CD-10 Interesting. Though this is only related in part. I recently tested out a EE Minimax and we felt it sounded best without the tube setting. Last week my friend got the new EE Minimax Plus. Though it is still breaking in he's already reporting that ... |
