| Gustard A26 Below is a link to a forum post that asked the same question. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/comparisons-gustard-a26-vs-r26-discrete-dac.968200/ I don’t consider Gustard to be poor quality junk. Nor do a lot of other happy owners. There h... | |
| Should I add a DDC? @pbecker128 That's good to know. Thanks for the info. | |
| Should I add a DDC? @kingbr My DH Labs cable is an older 2.0b and it works fine. The Wyred for Sound cable doesn't even say what it is, but it's supposedly optimized for I2S. I'm sure you'll be able to get the ddc to work with the dac. There's surely plenty of peop... | |
| Should I add a DDC? @kingbr The connection between my ddc and dac is very simple because they are both Gustard and they have the same pinout. My dac will work with other I2s pinout connections, but I didn't have to figure out which one. Since you're going Denefrips... | |
| Should I add a DDC? @kingbr I'm able to keep my ddc very close to my dac, so I can get by with 0.5M. I just got an I2s cable made by Wyred 4 Sound. In 0.5M, it was half price for $99. I'm using it just now for the first time. I'm very impressed. Their 2M length is ... | |
| Should I add a DDC? @kingbr Nice savings. I saved $48 on the ethernet cable. I'm not sure it will make a noticeable difference, but I needed a shorter cable, so I figured it was worth a shot. What length of HDMI cable are you ordering? I was told to make them shor... | |
| Should I add a DDC? @kingbr Thanks for the heads up on the DH Labs sale. I was eyeballing their ethernet cable. | |
| Music Hall Classic Turntable What is your budget for a cartridge? What do you use for a phono preamp? The one built into the TT or a separate phono preamp? | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Kalle Wallner - Voices. He's the guitarist for RPWL. | |
| Phono stage for second system Another vote for Sutherland. If you're using a low output moving coil cartridge, the TZ Vibe is excellent and a small form factor. I'm using it with a Hana ML moving coil cartridge. https://sutherlandengineering.com/tz-vibe/ | |
| Gustard X30 DAC I apologize if I've offended you. That was not my intent. I'm not like that. We have had different experiences with products and that's fine. | |
| Gustard X30 DAC Make excuses for my rudeness? Right. I've tried really hard to not be rude. How was my last post rude? I'm not bothered by the term Chi-fi. I never said that. | |
| Gustard X30 DAC I’m not a big Chinese buyer. My amp, preamp, speakers, and phono preamp are made in the USA. Streamer in Portugal and turntable in Germany. SACD player and phono cartridge in Japan. Cabling is made in USA and Germany. | |
| Gustard X30 DAC That's fair. It's also fair to say that thousands of people have had positive results from well reviewed Chinese gear. Especially dacs. As an owner of "Chi", I find your comments disturbing much like you do my "idfk". | |
| Gustard X30 DAC I'm not talking about the review. I'm referring to your comment about Chi gear. |
