| PS Audio Direct Stream Mattnshilp,You stated "Emm labs has been doing what the DS claims since the beginning." My DS DAC just arrived. I used to own the EMM CDSA SE. The latter is a joke -- and a very expensive one -- compared to the DS DAC.You also stated ÂI want to s... | |
| perfect speakers for atmasphere amp and preamp My Atma-Sphere S-30 and Raidho C1.1s are, perhaps surprising to many, a perfect match using Paul Speltz auto-transformers. Lots of headroom. Now that I have the PS Audio DS DAC I have an extra 10db to 20db gain for tons of head room on all recordi... | |
| which preamp Nglazer,I am feeding it organic grain-fed beef. That's why the harmonics are superior.Actually, I am using my own DIY cables in series with Shunyata. | |
| How does a step up transormer affect sound- Fluffers,It may actually improve the sound. I used a step-down for a long time and the SQ was excellent for the kind of system I had at that time. | |

| which preamp Smokenjo,The TP 2.3 fully loaded was a huge improvement in my system even before the DS DAC arrived. I cannot imagine my system without it. Regarding sound stage, it is a wide and deep 3D stage with great imagining. But you must know that sound st... | |

If you have any questions about how to use the auto-transformers with your own speakers I am sure Paul Speltz and ... | |
| which preamp Nglazer and Smokenjo,I just took the NAD M51 out and put the DS DAC into the system. Powered up with the old firmware. Nothing spectacular right out of the box -- slightly ahead of the NAD, perhaps. Then I put the new 1.2.1 firmware to work. Power... | |
