| Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh I'm all for your enthusiasm but do try to put in the work yourself and to think critically about what he or anyone else says before you post. That is not in this OP’s DNA. | |
| Is there any fan of Mettalica here? Here’s a different take. Quite beautiful I think… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrT41v6lYTw | |
| Suggestions on Ethernet cables for Accuphase digital separates.. I don’t pick cables based on equipment, I base the decision on what cable provides the sound characteristics I’m looking for. Just because one person likes XYZ cable with their equipment in their system for their tastes doesn’t mean it’ll work for... | |
| Streamer/DAC combinations Are even "better" external clocks available for those so inclined? @moonwatcher Yeah, there’s alway better. The Hermes that’s the next model up uses an upgraded OCXO clock and also offers an SPDIF input, but it’s also much more expensive. All I... | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume I’d add the Joseph Audio Pulsars to your list. Here’s a nice pair at a good price complete with stands if you need/want them. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650081867-joseph-audio-pulsars-with-custom-sound-anchor-stands-and-upgraded-twl-jum... | |
| Streamer/DAC combinations If I were to buy a Denafrips Pontus II - 12th DAC, how much will I be leaving on the table if I can’t use the I2S connection? @moonwatcher I’d ask @vthokie83 to chime in here as he has the Pontus 2 with the Iris, and we both realized very simil... | |
| Top 3 BT Earbuds?? If you can’t at least be bothered to share your budget I can’t be bothered making recommendations. Good luck. | |
| Top 3 BT Earbuds?? Budget? | |
| Streamer/DAC combinations There’s no doubt you’ll hear a significant improvement with the Pontus over the DAC in the Node (you’ll need a good digital cable BTW). You should notice better tonality and much better imaging/soundstage. The thing is, and with pretty much ever... | |
| Streamer/DAC combinations With your budget and what you’re looking for I’d recommend the Innuos Pulse Mini streamer and Denafrips Pontus II DAC. When budget allows you can add an external linear power supply to the Innuos for a significant performance bump — they can read... | |
| Searching for a little more warmth Don’t get just one sub — two are significantly better. You can get something like a pair of the SVS SB1000 Pros for like $1100 with a generous trial period including shipping both ways so no risk. Innuos Pulse Mini is a good streamer and even be... | |
| Streamer/DAC combinations What improvements/sound characteristics are you looking for? | |
| Searching for a little more warmth I like your idea of the DeVores and think they’ll get you much if not all of what you’re looking for. Agree also that the Node needs to go asap. Aurender is excellent, but I think I read the warranty is not transferable if you buy used so defini... | |
| Streamer and DDC (I need AES/SpDif output) If you go with Innuos the Iris or Hermes DDC would be obvious/synergistic choices. The Iris provided a significant performance boost in my system. BTW, you definitely want to use AES/EBU over SPDIF if possible. Best of luck. | |
| Innuos Mini Zen mk3 with LPS VS ZEN MK 3 soix you seem to always be extoling joseph's equally shameless @audiotroy Unlike you I don’t sell audio equipment. What about that don’t you get? Man you are so obtuse. |
