| Dedicated headphone amp vs Headphone socket on amp The upcoming challenge will be to replicate as accurately as possible the reference system sound albeit at higher volume levels on headphones. Hardly possible to ensure 100% fidelity to the reference system sound. With that in mind, the headphones... | |
| Dedicated headphone amp vs Headphone socket on amp Ultimately, I am now going in the direction of choosing a new set of headphones. Given the strong performance level of the existing headphone socket in the Rega Aethos. A sensible option would be to build upon it. My overall preference is for open... | |
| Dedicated headphone amp vs Headphone socket on amp All really good insights and input provided to the topic at hand. It really does beg the question if the desire is sufficient enough to go down a second rabbit hole with a bespoke headphone system. Just like my reference audio setup, which took th... | |
| Power Cord for Rega Saturn-R and Elex-R @akg_ca Can you elaborate a bit further on the subjective improvements using the Rega Ref Power Cord in your system ?. As you have/had Rega components , this thread is several years old by now. It would be interesting to consider the possible bene... | |
| How rare is an audiophile @ezstreams In no way attempting to diminish your sincere intent as displayed in your opening post. Possibly, your definition of "audiophile" is not in the strictest form as we have grown accustomed to expect. You appear to be a "music lover" and "... | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. @toddcowles Can you elaborate more on your previously owned "beloved 2 channel system" i.e price paid , why not just replace with some upgrades ? I know this is the route I would take , with little to no hesitation. Unless you are looking into a m... | |
| Rega Aethos vs Aavik i-180 comparison I concluded, the Aavik dac and Rega integrated amp are quite an impressive pairing. The immediate increase in forward momentum, transient attack and better sound staging over the Pontus II is quite evident. While the Rega Aethos provides a counter... | |
| Rega Aethos vs Aavik i-180 comparison Thx for jumping in audiotroy. I recently purchased the d-180 dac from Aavik & immediately impressed with the sheer drive and delivery of this dac. Although richness of tonality is a forte of the Rega Aethos , it seems to be limited in terms o... | |
| Sonnet Audio Morpheus Srajan, writer of the review on 6moons, eventually bought the Sonnet Pasithea. So good it was, he replaced the termi + in his downstairs system with the Pasithea. Obviously, he is a fan. | |
| Can This Really Matter? @goofyfoot Alas, the good ole fashioned way of usb port on pc straight to dac. Now, when using the cheaper Better Cables Blue Truth, all of the existing arguments about the limitations of the usb port did seem accurate. Then , after introducing th... | |
| Can This Really Matter? Cables matter more than one would ever expect or in many cases, hope, as a means to save on unnecessary expenditure. When in reality, a well designed cable tested with good rapport results with other components in the chain , can in fact make a ap... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired Thank you both for the generous and above all gracious response to my initial concerns as outlined earlier in the latter part of this thread. After much research and analysis, the two contenders for my next dac purchase will be the Denafrips Venus... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired @melm..So, it does appear the OP and youself were already discussing the da005 on other online forums prior to the @dbb review. I appreciate clearing that much up. Also, apparently no affiliation to the Musetec company on your part or the OP, My ... | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired Quite a well written review it must be said & most if not everyone would be in agreement. Just recently I came across this review while doing some research into various dac offerings in the marketplace at this price point. Then while looking a... | |
| AAVIK THE BEST KEPT Sereat IN DIGITAL The Aavik focuses more on the purity of sound and lets you peer into the music and present every bit of detail albeit in a very layered, smooth and non-fatiguing way. Last night I listened for 4 hours straight and had to force myself to turn it o... |
