| Why not? I completely disagree with ‘deserve your attention’ notion. When I am shopping for electronics, I am considering its features, design, implementation and how it’s going to sound in my system. I didn’t buy my $25K EMM Labs DAC because they include... | |
| How to connect my Cell Phone to my DAC?!?! Make sure you have the right USB input selected on the DAC and try running the DAC’s output to the Hegel and see if it works. Best of luck. | |
| Power cords or power conditioner +1 @marco1 that your speaker placement is probably playing a large part in this as your equipment seems perfectly capable of throwing a large, 3D soundstage. I know you’ve played with placement already, but try this — pull speakers out another 2 ... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @charles1dad How are the LavriCables working out for you? Still liking them? | |
| Best Dedicated Streamer Budget would be helpful. | |
| can i get a significant dac upgrade over my Lumin d2 for 2k? @sgreg1 Ugh. Sorry man, but I have a feeling it’s gonna be well worth the wait. BTW, and not to point this thread in a different direction, but does anyone else think China is dealing with the virus foolishly by continually locking things down? ... | |
| Most Extensive State-of-the-Art DAC Survey Ever! Not saying my vinyl and CDs are lacking but the streamer takes it even higher. BTW, now using bluos with Quobuz since I have given up on Tidal's MQA. All that to say how this streaming journey has reached such incredible levels with such a reason... | |
| Looking for a streamer/DAC Just get a separate streamer and DAC (without volume control) and don’t mess with having to bypass a volume control you don’t need anyway since you have an integrated amp. Combo DAC/streamers are a gamble as both technologies are evolving rapidly... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing I’ll call you on your claim that you heard the Atmaspere class d amp and find the Peachtree superior, even dollar for dollar. I dont believe you. @ghasley +1. I don’t believe for a second that @mbmi has heard the Atmasphere Class D amp and is ... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? Cable lifters and vibration isolation are two areas I’m also gonna attack soon too, so I’m in the same boat. For cable lifters, before buying something I might just cut out some rectangular pieces if cardboard, fold them in half and cut a notch i... | |
| Anthem MRX 720 Question Yamaha and Anthem are my two fave AVRs for both sound and reliability, but if I had your speakers I’d definitely go with Anthem because I think they’d appreciate the the higher level of performance and refinement. Issues seem to be hit or miss, b... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? I agree @pinthrift that the Cable Company is good way to demo different cables. Sorry, but I disagree unless you can’t find the cable you’re looking for on the used market. The discount on used cables is 50% or more, they cost very little to sh... | |
| Backert Rhumba 1.3 OR Modwright LS 100 ? @twoleftears Thanks so much for that link — looks like a very valuable treasure trove of great info rooted in experience, which is the best kind of info. I’ve bookmarked it and look forward to thoroughly reading through it and learning a ton. | |
| Need help deciding on a new amp Given what you’re looking for I’d dump the Emotiva preamp and look at a used Bryston B135 cubed or B135SST2. The cubed can be had around $4k ($3k discount of MSRP) and the SST2 at about half that and is sonically not far off. I’d go for the cubed ... | |
| Why not? Wouldn’t they be in the best position to test or design the optimum cable for their component? Yes and no. They could pick the best PC that works IN THEIR SYSTEM, but that’s in no way a guarantee that it would synergize best with a customer’s s... |
