| Aurender I’ll throw out one more thought because I like to complicate things. Depending on the quality of your Gustard’s inputs it might be worth considering adding a DDC to take advantage of its i2S input. I’ve got a Musician Pegasus R2R DAC and bought ... | |
| Aurender IMHO you’ve got a very nice DAC that’ll convey the benefits of a great streamer, so I’d go for the Aurender, EVO, etc. and upgrade the DAC later as funds permit. Just my $0.02 FWIW. | |
| Problems with the IFI Zen Stream.. What's a better Alternative? Thanks for the update — very interesting. | |
| Bacch Dsp, True stereo? As noted in a common above it's a pain in the ass to work with. That's the biggest marketing problem. It's a confusing product that's glitchy. A user above said it took him an hour to set up, and once it’s set up you’re done so not sure what yo... | |
| Bacch Dsp, True stereo? Would it not be better to have heard a BACCH system and formulated an intelligent option about it? @curiousjim Its clear the OP has already formulated his completely uninformed opinion and is now just cherry-picking responses that reinforce ... | |
| Bacch Dsp, True stereo? I’m not sure what to make of all this marketing stuff from Princeton. An ongoing science project? Seems to be in the development stage and not ready for prime time. If it can’t be easily understood, that’s a problem No, it’s more just your prob... | |
| Bacch Dsp, True stereo? It sounds like a glorified DSP system. Subject to all kinds of tweaking. Has anyone seen the interface? Seems installation would be somewhat problematic. You’re so far off base it’s downright silly and you’re now embarrassing yourself. Maybe g... | |
| Bacch Dsp, True stereo? They have several levels. I think you can do the base level for under $2k. | |
| Integrated Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution Forgot to mention the place that’s selling the Vitus I recommended above (TMR) allows for an in-home trial period. Not sure of the terms, but especially at these prices it’s very nice to have the opportunity to hear it in your system and have an ... | |
| Bacch Dsp, True stereo? Everything I’ve read from reviews to actual user/owner experience say this is a true game-changer experience. I’m actually afraid to try it for fear of being wrecked forever. It’s also available for headphones that also seems to provide a mind-b... | |
| 3.2 Channel with upgraded L/R or 5.2 channel? +1 @loomisjohnson I’d sorely miss the immersive experience provided by surround speakers with movies, and your 2-channel setup seems more than fine. | |
| Integrated Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution Take a look at this Vitus that’ll definitely cure your dynamics and thin sound. And with the $$$ left over you can upgrade your streamer to something from Aurender, Innuos, etc. and your DAC, both of which would then be holding your sound back. ... | |
| HT Bypass Vs Input selection Integrated Amp Totally get it on the analog input switcher and may well be the best way to go for now although I’ve never used one so can’t say much, but you’d need a way to control volume when running the DAC unless it has its own volume control. If you get an ... | |
| Leave system on or power everything down? @bigtwin You are indeed funny Sir! Thanks for the giggle. | |
| Leave system on or power everything down? @bigtwin Not saying I’m right — just wanted to share the info so the OP can make his own decision. That other manufacturers, who obviously know a helluva lot more than I do, advocate turning stuff off just shows there are likely pluses and minuse... |
