| B&W Nautilus 804 - how good are they Agree with the above — given your tastes you’re barking up the wrong tree here. Buy these and you’ll be much happier… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649920381-joseph-audio-perspective2-sapele-finish-graphene-woofer/ | |
| USB reclocker vs DDC? I think you’re potentially getting more benefit out of a DDC especially if it allows you to take advantage if your DAC’s i2S or AES/EBU input that often provide significant sonic advantages. Especially if the DDC also re-clocks the data and using ... | |
| Qubuz membership issues Yeah, that sounds very frustrating and sorry you’re having to put up with this. I’d only say I’ve never had a billing problem with Qobuz and stick with it because I switched from Tidal to Qobuz and never looked back. Best of luck with this. | |
| Cambridge CXN V2 or Innuos Pulse Mini? Thanks for the feedback - I read in a review of the Innous Pulsemini that some higher-res file formats required an external DAC - can you comment on that and do you know would that be the same with Cambridge Yes, I believe I read the onboard DA... | |
| DSD Remastering Software Experience @designsfx Im using a Musician Pegasus that is very similar to the Denafrips Pontus II that I assume would have the same capability. | |
| Cambridge CXN V2 or Innuos Pulse Mini? Go with Innuos. They filter down a lot of tech from their big $$$ streamers, and the newest version of their Sense app is getting great reviews and is free. | |
| Changes in my life, new system, need new speakers @audiotroy I didn’t say the Mini Utopias don’t sound amazing. Have you even heard the JA RM7XL monitors? I have heard both. You can’t say anything if you haven’t heard the speakers. | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House AGD was tops on my list for an amp upgrade, but, alas, the budget just wasn’t there. Instead I went for full upgrades on my McCormack DNA-0.5 Rev A when it died because I knew I liked the sound qualities in the context of my particular system and ... | |
| Changes in my life, new system, need new speakers Get these. They’ll blow you away. Seriously special speakers and $1000 below your budget, and my guess is you’ll end up preferring them to your Utopias in many areas… https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisb28a6-joseph-audio-rm7xl-monitors | |
| DSD Remastering Software Experience @lalitk +1 — I’m now using an R2R DAC that can upsample or I can use in NOS mode and I prefer the latter. The differences aren’t huge, but they’re there so to my ears less is sometimes more. I do recognize that in audio there’s almost always mor... | |
| AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House haven't heard ralph/atmasphere's amps @jjss49 You took the words outta my mouth, and it’d be very interesting to hear a comparo between these two. If I had the scratch I’d go with AGD just because the designer made his amps upgradeable, whic... | |
| Hegel H160 and Focal Electra 1008Be sounding bass-less Sounds like it could be a room/speaker placement issue assuming there’s nothing wrong with the amp or speakers. | |
| Direct to consumer and retail I was surprised to see SVS subs being sold in Best Buy/Magnolia. Not sure how that works as a business model and seems unnecessary. | |
| Power Amp Recommendations for B&W 803 Nautilus Stick a crowbar in your wallet and get an Atma-Sphere GaN amp. You’ll never look back. | |
| Help - Opinions - Amp for Sonas Faber Olympica III Speakers The ARC REF75SE sounds like an awesome choice. I’d also look at the newer GaN amps from Atma-Sphere and AGD. Or, buy a used McCormack DNA-1 and have SMcAudio do their full mods on it. All are awesome options. |
