| Burson composer 3xp The Burson Composer uses a digital volume control. If set as DAC out the volume out is much louder than even with the volume control at 99. | |
| Headband replacement for AQ Nighthawk Headphones They wrote me that they've no replacements. | |
| Review: Audio Mirror D-1 DA converter As the original reviewer, some 2.5 years back, I'd have to say that a more recent Scott Nixon tube dac or even non-tube dac improve upon the Audio Mirror. | |
| DAC-AH - upgrade to Audio Mirror? Have had a DAC-AH and a Audio Mirror D-1. Almost the same. The Audio Mirror, using a different output cap, merely sounded warmer. If warmth is what you need, it is good. | |
| audio mirror dac Respecting this DAC so much, I've two. One is using a Sony DVP s7700 as transport and another using a computer harddrive. The later is much the superior. I've had these DACs for about two months. I have only grown in appreciation. Lots of detail p... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? Why the back and forth on Apple vs. MS. I use Linux with a USB sound card and USB hard drives, the sound card is only to connect to my very satisfactory Audio Mirror DAC. This Linux system runs on a fanless VIA chip (mini itx). No virus possibilit... | |
| Mid-priced warm sounding DAC? Three weeks have passed since first listening with the Audio Mirror D-1 NOS DAC. This DAC uses four NOS DAC chips in parrellel per channel. During these few weeks, the sound has grown warmer and sweeter as can be expected with burn-in. It is a ver... | |
| Review: Audio Mirror D-1 DA converter Finally, I do like all 3 of these DACs very much. Each have there own distinctive virtures. The Ack!'s virtues: with the battery supply, it seems that there is a bottomless well of power to draw from, crescendos never feel the least bit of strain;... | |
| Review: Audio Mirror D-1 DA converter Some thoughts from last night while listening to the Audio Mirror D-1 in comparison to the Ack! 1.3 and Nixon TubeDAC+.Timing: Audio Mirror and Ack! agile to tempo changes; Nixon slow in bass and treble.Sweep: Audio Mirror and Ack! convey the swee... | |
| ACK dac or Muse 2 / older dac to replace Sa8260 I would not say that the dAck! has soft highs, but sweet and extened. The mid is not half so rounded as the tube DAC by Scott Nixon or the cj DACs--the dAck! having a more transistory mid. The bass is deep and impacting, but not midbass bumped lik... | |
| Battery powered DAC For 11 months I've been listening with the Scott Nixon tube dac+ and for about 2 weeks with the Ack dAck! The transport and the amp have been the 47 Labs Shigaraki, though sometimes I stick in my Decware Zen Zen amp or my Consonance 2a3 push push.... | |
| Oversampling/Increased dither: a lot of hype? In the past couple of years I moved from an Ah!Tjoeb 99 to Sony SACD-777es to Cary 308 to cj Premier 9 to a Scott Nixon non-oversampling/non-analogue filter tube dac. The Scott Nixon is the purest clearest easyest to listen through. | |
| Review: Scott-Nixon Tube DAC, upgrade parts DA converter I too love the Scott Nixon TUBEDAC+. It replaced a cj Premier 9, which replaced a Cary 308, which replaced a Sony SACD 777ES, which replaced an AH!Tjoeb 99. The Scott Nixon is is far above all these others, with or without a high quality transport. | |
| Scott Nixon outboard DAC's, any good? I've the 47 Labs Shigaraki transport hooked to a Scott Nixon TUBEDAC+. This combo is sooooo smoooooth, with detail and rhythm. The Scott Nixon seems to allow dynamic nuances to really drip with emotion. | |
| Scott nixon dac.... I'v a Scott Nixon TUBEDAC+ & a conrad-johnson Premeir 9 DAC. The later is also a 16 bit non-oversampling DAC. I've owned numerous players over the past year: Ah!Tjoeb99, Sony 777es, Cary 308. Both these DACs are far more musical than any of th... |
