| Add External DAC or Upgrade to a New Streamer / DAC? Yeah, the ESS SABRE DAC in your Rose is doing you no favors whatsoever. Sounds like a good R2R DAC is in your future. Here’s a nice example and would be a huge upgrade in what you’re looking for… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650001299-dena... | |
| Amps for Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene's? That said, Joseph Audio speakers can be quite warm and refined @blisshifi While JA speakers are definitely refined sounding, I completely and wholeheartedly disagree that they should ever be categorized as “warm” sounding unless they’re being d... | |

| Amps for Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene's? If you’re liking the mids/highs with the BC I’d try to demo a Hegel amp that’ll preserve the good stuff but may well add some bottom-end oomph you seem to be looking for. Krell would be right up there as well but might be just a little more polit... | |
| NuPrime Customer Service Thanks for sharing and sorry you’re going through this. I had a very similar experience with iFi with useless and archaic “help” tickets that were no help whatsoever. I enlisted the US distributor and even he couldn’t get any help for me. Reall... | |

| Perplexed on how single driver speakers can cover such a large Hz range EVERY speaker design has to compromise somewhere, and this is certainly no exception. In forgoing multiple drivers and crossovers the single driver will have limitations/distortions — it’s just physics. But, any skillful designer can effectively ... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? If I’m you I’d do all the research I can and then buy used as others have said. If they don’t work out you can sell and move on for little/no loss if you buy wisely. Also hard to see going wrong with Fritz if he offers a return policy. @phishhhh... | |
