| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Fsmithjack,Thanks for letting me know. I didn't realize this about Mcondon. Just as the Bricasti software improves its level so too does the software for the DS DAC. I am sure there will be improvements with DAC technology in the future, just as t... | |
| Hegel Amplifier There is one available on Audiogon at the moment:http://app.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-hegel-h300-integrated-w-dac-black-finish-like-new-condition-2015-02-18-integrateds-60103-hanover-park-il | |
| Hegel Amplifier You should contact Hegel about voltage conversion. I imagine the unit would have to go back to them. | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Mcondon,I also note you have stated, "I doubt the Direct Stream will hold its value either, especially since it seems to get somewhat mixed reviews from people who have heard it or own it. It seems to need 1000 hours of break-in to sound its best ... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Mcondon,I note your comment about the PS Audio DS DAC not being "universally loved". Frankly, I have never seen a piece of gear that was universally loved because that means 100%. But I have rarely seen another piece of gear that has been as nearl... | |
| too much acoustic treatment suck mids, shrill highs Zd542,In my experience, trial and error in your dedicated room with careful testing usually brings the answer, along with possible remedies. | |
| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? Jmcgrogan2,I wonder why you keep coming back to a thread that you say you do not like to read. | |
| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? Jmcgrogan2,Some may appreciate the humor, others may not. It's like food, music and women -- a matter of taste. No problem. Each to his own. But no need to get upset. This is not the Audio Grand Jury. It's just a Forum. If you lighten up you may b... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Ozzy,What effects are you noticing with these new Bybee products? | |
| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? Jwpstayman.I found the Forum post I was referring to earlier. Here is an excerpt from my 2012 post that refers to SR's uptrade program requiring you to purchase SR products double the value of the SR product you want to trade back for 70% credit."... | |
| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? Jwpstayman,The SR program is called an uptrade program. As I pointed out in another thread a long time ago, if you continually run on the SR treadmill and continue to trade up you end up with nothing and SR ends up with everything. Just do the mat... | |
| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? Ozzy,You stated, "... I found many other cables for far less money that provided much more audio enjoyment." I believe many people feel as you do. I was upgrading SR cables for quite a while then gave up when I discovered other cables delivered mu... | |
| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? Jmcgrogan2,IMO, some of us need to lighten up and take comments as they come -- and enjoy the humor. "Transgressors" do not have to be met with the "audio guillotine" falling each time someone steps over an imaginary line. Let's keep things friend... | |
| Grover Huffman GH RCA ZX+ cables vs... Regarding Grover Huffman co-opting my cable design, I note that he felt it necessary to deny he was co-opting Michael Wolff's cable design when they were partners. Since I live overseas and have no recourse and no leverage he obviously felt free t... | |
| Grover Huffman GH RCA ZX+ cables vs... Paulcreed,The only changes I have made in the last while are room treatments -- some additions and some placement changes. The only components I have changed in the past 2 years are my PS Audio DS DirectStream DAC and my Shunyata Triton power cond... |
