| Considering Zu Dirty Weekend over my current B&w 702s2 Another thing to consider if you’re using the DAC in the Node would be to upgrade your DAC and digital cable. The newer R2R DACs tend to have a more natural and organic sound that may yield the improvements you’re looking for. Here’s a nice revi... | |
| Upgrade Cables or Just Upgrade Equipment & Live in Shame? +1 @jayctoy Read about the Audiokinesis SWARM. | |
| Integrating HT and 2-channel systems Can the ML 332 live with both inputs connected at once? This is unnecessary and there’s a much better and more elegant way to do this where the Denon is completely out of the signal path for 2-channel, which is what you want, and you switch be... | |
| Topping A90 What headphones are you using, and do you need a remote for using as a stereo preamp? | |
| Please help with setting up a streaming system Innuos just came out with their Pulse Mini that comes in at $1249 and would be a great choice. Their new Sense software is free and gets great reviews from both a performance a sound perspective, and they’re constantly improving it for free. Plu... | |
| Paradigm Studio 100 v3/tweeter assembly down to the screws Call them. They’re a very reputable company and I’d be surprised if they can’t help you out. | |
| Jeff Rowland Model 8 or Plinius SA 103 @daveyf Fair point my friend. If the OP is looking for something warmer it’d seem the Rowland might be a better choice, but if he might like something refined but maybe with a little more detail up top he might like the 103. In the end, it’s all ... | |
| Topping A90 At only $100 more I’d definitely go for the A90D, but in the end it really matters what sound characteristics you’re looking for. The A90s definitely skew to more neutral and highly detailed realm — if you’re looking for any warmth or tonal richn... | |
| Paradigm Studio 100 v3/tweeter assembly down to the screws Man, if there’s one thing you wouldn’t wanna lose. That sucks. Did u try calling Paradigm? Wouldn’t surprise me if they had replacement parts. Might have to pay up a bit, but still much cheaper than buying new speakers, although it’s a great e... | |
| Master Clock for the SOtM SMS-200 Ultra Neo SE I think there are better ways to improve sound for the money as I would also need to spend on a clock with more outputs. I think so too. What DDC and DAC are you using and what connection between them? | |
| Gustard R26 @zeusodin Yes, very. Wireworld Starlight 7 Ethernet cable > iFi Zen Stream (w/ iPowerX PS) > LavriCables Ultimate Silver Dual USB cable > Denafrips Iris DDC > 6” Monoprice HDMI cable > Musician Pegasus R2R DAC It’s important to... | |
| transport/dac vs integrated player But the narrow question I have is for playing my cd collection: whether having an all in one player alleviates the concerns with the connection from the transport to the dac Well, if you’re going the streaming route anyway you could consider ge... | |
| STREAMER @dougthebiker Can you share which PC you ultimately chose and maybe what the others were? | |
| Gustard R26 I want to replace with the same streamer with a 50 MHz clock input and get a new DAC with 50 MHz input as well. Or simply forgo SoTM altogether and replace with the Gustard R26 streamer / DAC in one unit. @zeusodin If going with the R26 I’d sug... |
