| i2S clock question @curiousjim Yes, but it’s not just the reclocking but also the ability to take advantage of your DAC’s superior i2S input with an HDMI cable, so it’s really like two benefits in one. On my Musician Pegasus DAC, which has a strong resemblance to t... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers with Rel 212se Subwoofer What speakers do you have now, and what improvements/sound characteristics are you looking for? | |
| Speaker Cables for FRITZ Carbon 7 SE mk2 Get these — you won’t be disappointed… https://www.ebay.com/itm/234920746324 Also, lose those BJC interconnects and replace with a pair of Acoustic Zen Silver Reference interconnects when they come up used. Put that between your DAC and pream... | |
| Help in new processor purchase While I respect JL Labs subs a lot, I’m not sure you need to go to that level of expense for great sound. These SVS SB1000 Pro subs get you down to 20Hz (-3dB) and are very room friendly at what are basically only 13” cubes, and you can get two fo... | |
| Gustard R26 @zeusodin Im sorry, I’m not familiar with your DAC so I can’t say. I’d certainly reach out to Esoteric and ask them what input is best and go from there. If they say their DAC works best with an i2S input I wouldn’t hesitate to get a good DDC, b... | |
| Best Way four Bass Array Audiokinesis Swarm is the standard. Look them up. | |
| i2S clock question @designsfx To be honest, I haven’t yet tried the SPDIF out from the Iris because I went right to the i2S connection. I recently significantly upgraded my SPDIF digital cable so I’ll have to do a comparison and I’ll get back with my results. My g... | |
| going from tube preamp to solid state If you are looking for a straight wire with gain kinda preamp that projects a huge, transparent, and open 3D soundstage, look no further than this. If it doesn’t work you can turn around and sell it with little/no loss. I owned their BP-6 with a... | |
| Cumulative Effect of cables question There is nothing in your system that seems like your mid bass or lower mids should be bloated at all. I’d say these PCs just aren’t a good fit for your system and adding another will only make it worse. Try these. Several members here, includin... | |
| going from tube preamp to solid state I think you’re gonna find this tough. I’m now going the opposite direction and switching from a SS pre to a tube pre, and I’m not expecting to be disappointed. With the generally long tube life in most tubed preamps I can much easier embrace a t... | |
| New Class D amplifiers If the AGD Audions are too pricey you should consider their Tempo stereo amp that probably offers a good bit of the Audions for a lot less, and like the Audions the Tempo is upgradeable as technology advances, which I view as a huge plus. Best of... | |
| Subwoofer for Tidal Amea (like Focal Sopra) Budget? | |
| Newbie question - dedicated headphone amp or is my McIntosh MA352 sufficient @overthemoon Wine clubs and audio definitely a good pairing. | |
| i2S clock question @lordmelton My source is an iFi Zen Stream that I quite like for the price. So, from what you’re saying, my Musician Pegasus DAC clock is still working with the i2S connection? That’s really what I’m trying to nail down here, and after doing a p... | |
| Installing rear ported floor standing speaker in a front wall: will it impact performance? Bad idea. Just get in-wall speakers. |
