| Auralic Vega G2 or Denafrips Pontus II 12th + streamer? Great info! Given what you’re looking for my first thought was an R2R DAC and was gonna recommend the Pontus but you beat me to it. With your budget, and to borrow a phrase from Emeril, you can kick it up several notches by adding a DDC (like the ... | |
| System advice @thecarpathian +1. Now let’s see if he spells “base” correctly, and curious what manufacture he goes with. Ugh. | |
| Speaker Recommendations What improvements are you looking for over what you have now, and what sound characteristics are most important to you? | |
| Auralic Vega G2 or Denafrips Pontus II 12th + streamer? Highly recommend keeping them separate for all the reasons you raised and more. Put it this way — would you buy a turntable with the phono pre built in? Why not? Because they’re both critical components and just because you might like the turnt... | |
| anyone else getting phishing popups ? You just missed my last post, but I am on a Macbook running Monteray 12.6.9. Ah, thanks for that helpful info and for sharing your experience here so we’re aware. It takes a village. | |
| Advice on using a dac with my avr Several other very experienced members gave you the same feedback and advice on your previous thread on the same topic in a different category — you just apparently fail to accept or comprehend it. You know you just wanna use your AVR as a preamp,... | |
| new to streaming- help! If I am not connecting the Node X into external DAC, will I notice a difference between cd quality level and the premium (hi res) membership? Good question, and it has a lot to do with the quality of the rest of your system and if it’s resolvin... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? @atmasphere , From what i’ve experienced thus far, the type of stuff you do could work for guys who mostly roll with midfi (they may think it’s hifi) or don’t have a high enough "point of reference". But, that shouldn’t worry you. You could still... | |
| System advice Given what you’re looking for and budget I’d take a hard look at the Joseph Audio Perspective 2 speakers paired with a Hegel integrated amp that includes both a very good DAC and streamer so everything works together in one box, which is really ni... | |
| System advice What sound characteristics are most important to you? Tough to make meaningful recommendations without that info as the possibilities are endless. | |
| anyone else getting phishing popups ? I have been seeing advertisements "drop-down" from the top or "creep-up" from the bottom. And sometimes there is a box in the middle of the screen with a X button to close it Yeah, I find these types of ads intrusive and very annoying. Just do ... | |
| Advice on using a dac with my avr Does it make sense to place a dac between my preouts and my amp and use pure or pure direct mode for music? We’ve been through this already on your previous post but you seem to just not get it. You’ve got a $2700 amp and $5200 speakers and you... | |
| Isolation platforms for Cube Audio Jazzon speakers Ha. Shocked you already have them! I’d be very interested in your thoughts on how they work with your speakers. Honestly, the cynical part of me thinks springs kinda work the same way (differing tensions notwithstanding) and that these should c... | |
| A-Pod for Magico A5 Yeah, they seem expensive at $1700 for your speakers. By comparison you could get highly-rated Townshend Isolation Pods for $1000 but looks like even their Platform or Speaker Bars would be around $1200 and their flagship Podiums would be around t... | |
| USB Cable Ah yet another flat earther rears his head. Wonderful. |
