| Preamp Upgrade I picked up a Rhumba 1.3 recently. Really love what the Rhumba is doing in my system. The bass is well extended and there is a lush midrange coupled with smooth extended highs along with a wide and deep soundstage. I have been through many pre-a... | |
| Top CD transports vs USB converter shootout Ok, mainly based on the excellent write up by Eleberoth2, I ordered the M2tech Evo psu and clock. Undoubtedly my system performace has taken a leap forward. Through my Ayon Skylla II dac, FLAC & WAV's are now sounding superior to CD playback f... | |
| Top CD transports vs USB converter shootout Thanks Greg, yes I read the other review where the triple stack of m2 tech boxes was rated 100. Consequently I have decided to stick with M2 tech, as I have the same limitations as yourself in trying to compare the many converters available in the... | |
| Top CD transports vs USB converter shootout I am currently using the m2tech hi-face evo. Was considering the off-ramp. What is your opinion on the off-ramp vs the BADA Alpha USB.Cheers,Sid | |
| Playback designs MPD-3 vs Ayon Skylla Thank you Doggiehowser & Melbguy1. @Doggiehowser, I believe that the SkyllaII has an analog volume control, however I have a Lamm ll2.1 deluxe pre, so unless, in the unlikely event that the skylla beats the lamm in SQ, I will continue using th... | |
| Playback designs MPD-3 vs Ayon Skylla I have decided on the Skylla II. This will be the third Ayon source I will own in the past 3 years, having owned the Cd1s,2s and now the skylla. Hopefully this will be my last upgrade for a bit where the source is concerned.Cheers,Sid | |
| Ayon Skylla II vs Lampizator 4 or 5 I am considering the Skylla II as an upgrade from the Ayon Cd2s. I have not the heard Lamp., so cannot answer the OP's question but FWIW I compared the Cd2s to the highly regarded Prism Orpheus Pro DAC and to me the Cd2s DAC was better. So now I a... | |
| Playback designs MPD-3 vs Ayon Skylla Thanks a lot Bill. My majority usage will be PCM, not even sure where to get DSD, and not sure that I can rip my SACD's (read some methods of doing this using a Sony ps2 but not very clear about it - I have about 25 sacds) so I will have to consid... | |
| Comparing ARC, Lamm and Modwright Preamps I may be late by couple of years but wanted to post my observations regardless.I have had a modwright 9.0se (with the tube power supply upgrade), ARC LS26 and now the Lamm ll2.1. Unquestionably the Lamm is the best of the three. It has significant... |
