| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? @gryphongryph I managed to solve the issue by adding absorption to the room. I had too much echo in the room, which made it sound bright, harsh and messy at high volumes. All good now :) | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? @eagle3333 earlier in this thread I wrote how room acoustics solved the entire problem. It’s no longer bright/harsh at louder volumes. Adding enough absorption did the trick. I received my Boulder 3010 and 3060 and they’re amazing. I’ve also upg... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui or Denafrips Terminator Plus? @darkknight8586 I now have the Boulder 3010 pre amp and 3060 power amp. And a Lampizator Horizon on order :) | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui or Denafrips Terminator Plus? @darkknight8586 The Tambaqui is a great combo with Focal. It's a very neutral DAC and definitely not bright. | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? Thanks again @verdantaudio Where does the Grimm MU1 fit in? Grimm MU1 reviewed as: Neutral, clean, fast, transparent, resolving with high resolution. More convincing than K50 with more precise imaging. K50 reviewed as: Full, smooth, liquid, lush... | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? @verdantaudio Thanks for your input. Between Antipodes Oladra and Pink Faun Ultra, do yo feel there's a clear winner? Or more or less at the same level, making it about taste and preference? Is Pink Faun's clock better than Oladra's? But then Ola... | |
| Busted! Reviewer copies manufacturers sales page in review? @roxy54 Means they didn't even listen to the cable? Anyway, can't really trust reviewers if they listen and then simply "agree" with the manufacturer and copy the sales page. Is Mono and Stereo part of TAS? | |
| Cullen or Triode Wire Labs power cord? @rob_wray what graphene brand/product did you buy? Any link or website to share? | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? @dlcockrum Thanks for your input. A few posts ago I elaborated on how I dragged my system from the living room to my 13ft x 20ft bedroom. This room is very well padded and it's RT60 is only a third of my living room. This made ALL the difference. ... | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? Big learning moment! To see what the impact of my large, mostly untreated living room is, I decided to drag my 374lbs / 170kg Stella Utopia speakers to my bed room :) I put a few mattresses and diffusers up against the wall, rug on the floor, thi... | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? @wokeuptobose thanks for sharing your journey, very valuable lessons. Could you elaborate on what the Pacific does better than other DACs you've had? What do you like about it? And what are any weak points or trade-offs? | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? Thanks for all the input guys. Apart from all the advise on equipment, I start to realise: — When a system is highly resolving, it will expose recordings that are bright and harsh. It's actually a good thing. Over 95% of recordings sound wonderfu... | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? @parker65310 When playing loud, cymbals become harsh and bright for this recording of Californication by Red Hot Chili Pepper: View post on imgur.com | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? @x5owner1 I don't use USB. The Nucleus connects to a wireless access point via ethernet. The Tambaqui DAC is a Roon endpoint and connected via ethernet to the same wireless access point. The Nucleus acts as a server only, the playing/rendering hap... | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? @deludedaudiophile that audiophiles are more interested in throwing money and stuff on the wall and hoping it will stick than delving into the source of their problems so that they can intelligently fix them Me posting here and asking for fee... |
