| Innuos Mini Zen mk3 with LPS VS ZEN MK 3 Shameless. | |
| Cables for BW 805D4, JC5, Prima Luna 400 Budget? Are you looking for new or used? | |
| Innuos Mini Zen mk3 with LPS VS ZEN MK 3 I’d buy a used Zen Mk3 and be done with it. One box, probably some higher-quality parts inside, and no unnecessary electronics (DAC) in the same box as the streamer. No brainer to me. | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker I listened to Alta Audio Alyssa at an audio dealer (that I highly respect). I found them thick sounding... too much mid-bass for my liking. @audiojan The reviews I’ve read of Alta speakers indicate they are a bit polite sounding up top that ma... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @blisshifi That’s very kind, but I actually still have the CD. I think Usher made several demo CDs so odds are yours may be different, but ya never know. | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @blisshifi Interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience. I heard one of their top models at a show years ago and was one of the most memorable demos I’ve heard, but those speakers had the Be tweeter and I’ve never heard the DMD tweet. Incid... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker The Alyssa will have a much bigger sound and reach lower, and its high frequency performance will surely surpass that of the Usher. @blisshifi I’m not so sure about that. The Mini-X uses the same diamond tweeter used in Usher’s $40k flagship ... | |
| Upgrade from BluNode 2i with a new DAC or Integrated Streamer DAC? Used fer sure. A used Pontus with a used Iris DDC would still be in your price range and be pretty killer and is a combo that some even prefer to the Venus. That’s what I’d do. | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker I’d add the Joseph Audio Prism and Usher Dancer Mini-X to your list, both of which are a bit cheaper than the Alyssa. | |
| Ethernet cables No, no it's not worth it. Ones and zeroes don't know nor care how they travel and all the stupidly expensive cables absolutely will not change that. And here they are. Well, it was a good thread while it lasted. | |
| Upgrade from BluNode 2i with a new DAC or Integrated Streamer DAC? Any opinion on the Matrix Audio X Sabre PRO? How would might it compare to the Denefrips Pontus II. These aren’t the specific models you’re asking about, but if you skip to the Comparisons section I think you’ll get a useful glimpse into the d... | |
| SabrinaX vs JA Perspective2 Graphene @joc3021 How would you compare the bass, mids, highs, and especially the soundstage/imaging with the Spatials? Thanks for any thoughts. | |
| Company headquarters and warranty repairs I agree that at those prices I’d ensure each has some US-based repair facility. If they don’t I’d cross it off the list immediately because overseas shipping is very expensive these days, and who needs that when there are plenty of excellent DACs... | |
| Bryston 7B3 vs 4B3: Extra Cost Worthwhile? How warm does the Pass 350.8 get? Don’t want something hot to the touch or warming the room.. The 350.8 is absurd for your speakers, and the 150.8 would be more than adequate. Moreover, Pass has a different sound signature from Bryston — they... | |
| Upgrade from BluNode 2i with a new DAC or Integrated Streamer DAC? At your price point I’d recommend looking at the Denafrips Pontus II DAC as it will greatly reduce your listening fatigue and provide significant performance benefits across the board. Also, it’s been well documented that adding a LPS to a Node al... |
