| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? Again, for perspective, the Terminator + costs $8850, and if you add the GAIA it ups the total cost to $11,300. The Aquarius costs like $3135 all in. | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? I have to say, problem #3 is probably specific to certain equipment. Why not work with iFi and Musician to see if there is a fix? Plus, if I’m hearing you right, the solution is simply turn the Aquarius off and on and then it works. Is that really... | |
| Preamp/DAC Suggestions Lots of really good recommendations here and I don’t envy you having to weed through them all. I’ll just chime in that it seems to me by and large many people find benefit by using an active preamp in their system. While I know there are also lots... | |
| Preamp/DAC Suggestions I’d be all over this like a cheap suit if I were you... https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649880165-linear-tube-audio-microzotl-preamplifier-with-level-2-upgrade/ With the money left over and selling the Sphinx you can probably swing a Denafri... | |
| Name this wonderful system OP, you should get to know Qobuz rather than messing with YouTube or Amazon. Just sayin’. Do a free trial. | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? Got it. So how far are your speakers pulled out from the front wall? | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? How far are your speakers pulled out from the wall? And if you’re looking for more transparency you might think about replacing the Macs as they’re probably the bottleneck there. Just IMHO. | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? I have the Musician Pegasus in my HeadFi rig and like it a lot. Depends totally on what sound characteristics you’re looking for, but I’d recommend reading the review of the Aquarius on stereonews.net to see if it might be a good fit. It’s one o... | |
| Name this wonderful system I don’t listen to music on YouTube, but the system is B&W N805s with Accuphase electronics. | |
| Avalon Teseeract $327,000 Speakers with 4.5 Kilowatts per Channel I was ready to buy the one pair slated for the US, but for some reason my wife said no. | |
| Time to upgrade the pre-amp. though I am definitely looking for that full mid-range and "musicality" typically associated with all tube architectures. Not sure ARC would be my choice for this type of sound. You’ve got other better recommendations for that above, and I’ll ... | |
| Moving from integrated to separates I totally agree it’s a worthwhile experiment to try a higher-powered amp as, as good as it may still sound, if you’re pushing an amp to the higher end of its limits you’re not hearing it at its best. That said, I have to say I’d be sorely tempted... | |
| VTL information Good thing you have a good tech because VTL’s customer service seems to be among the worst in the business. | |
| Moving from integrated to separates I’d add VAC to the list. Definitely not the modern tube sound but neither overly warm or syrupy. Atmasphere would be another one. Best of luck. | |
| Modwright LS100 vs LTA MicroZOTL @pdreher ok I will let u know my thoughts. I’ll have my amp back around mid August and then I’ll need a week or so to let them both burn in properly. BTW, I got the upgraded linear power supply just so you know. I don’t consider it optional as ... |
