| any current integrated amps in market have great dacs? Forgot to mention the Bel Canto e1X. They make damn good DACs so the one in the e1X is probably very good. | |
| any current integrated amps in market have great dacs? I’d take a look at the Hegel H390. Here’s a review where they found its internal DAC compared favorably to Hegel’s $4800 HD30 standalone DAC, which I thought was pretty impressive. https://www.soundstagehifi.com/index.php/equipment-reviews/1365... | |
| Help settle a streaming argument! Is there a 3,000 dollar streamer that's as easy to use as a Node? @mbmi The Innuos Pulse is usually $3800 but Audio Advisor currently has it discounted to $2355 (not sure why). Much better performance than the Node and comes with their Sense a... | |

And I agree you s... | |

| dropout streaming There are settings in Qobuz you can adjust if you’re getting dropouts. Can’t remember what they are but definitely worth looking into. And I disagree with everything @czarivey said regarding Qobuz and think he’s in the extreme minority here in h... | |

| Campfire Trifecta cable recommendations Maybe it’s worth trying the Amp 13 card with the iBasso (if you’re not already using it of course)? This review seems to indicate it might be a better fit for something like the Trifecta. Frankly I find the reviewer to be a bit confusing as he s... | |
