| Higher powered but efficient amp with the imaging of a Pass XA-25? Maybe Luxman? I’d be on the phone with Clayton Audio to see if they build a balanced version of their S100 amp. Probably as good or better than Pass, and although it’s a Class A design there’s a high/low bias switch so you can leave the amp on w... | |
| black cat 110 digit aes/ebu vs snake river boomslang aes/ebu vs kimber orchid aes/ebu Why are you focusing on the digital cable for this? What about interconnects, speaker cables, etc.? | |
| Higher powered but efficient amp with the imaging of a Pass XA-25? I’d take a look at the AGD Audion or the LSA Voyager GaN amps as I think they might give you everything you’re looking for. | |
| Digital power cord for tube amp? IMO, better to just focus on the sonic properties you’re looking for more than size, especially for lower power level components. | |
| Basement 7.2 recommendation SVS Ultra will sound great and probably save you $$$, and they offer a risk-free in home trial. Add an SB2000 Pro sub (or better yet, 2) and you’ll be very happy. Best of luck. https://www.svsound.com/collections/ultra-systems | |
| Streaming 102 What improvements are you looking for and what sound characteristics are most important to you? This is important in choosing the right DAC (or anything really). IMO both streamer and DAC are important, but I think you’re on the right track upgrad... | |
| Building my 1st real system. Need advice. Hoping to pair Luxman507uxii/Dyaudio Evoke20. For your music I’d highly recommend the ATC SCM7 or SCM19 if you can stretch a bit. They’ll blow you away with rock, electronic, etc., and although they’re more in the neutral camp pairing them with the Luxman and a good R2R DAC would likely prod... | |
| What is the best USB cable under $500 for a natural presentation and good detail ? I just bought the Lavri Ultimate Silver USB cable that splits data and power and “only” cost $134 for 1m. Haven’t received it yet, but it got some very positive user reviews and I wasn’t willing to spend more as this is for my headphone rig. Jus... | |
| Cullen or Audio Envy PC? Thanks @lalitk — while I’d definitely put these on the shortlist for my big rig, it’s a bit more than I’d like to spend on my headphone setup, especially since I need two PCs. Between the Cullen and AE do you have any thoughts/feedback or other s... | |
| Best “gaming” headset under $200 I got the PC38x for my 15yo son , who is an active gamer and pretty picky, last Christmas and he’s been very happy with them. He said it’s easier to tell where things are coming from in the games. Anyway, if these can please my son I’m pretty su... | |
| AVR in a HT Bypass setup Anthem, or Yamaha if Anthem isn’t in the budget. | |
| Convert 3-pin to 4-pin XLR? Never mind , my bad. XLR inputs on the amp are 3-pin. Duh. Sorry. | |
| Matching streamer/DAC combination to SQ of my system. Here’s a pretty thorough review in case it helps... https://soundnews.net/sources/dacs/musician-audio-pegasus-r2r-dac-review/ | |
| Matching streamer/DAC combination to SQ of my system. So if I wanted to buy a streamer/dac unit Don’t. Buy a separate streamer and DAC so as tech in either progresses you have the flexibility to upgrade one as needed. One combo you might look at is the Innuos Zen Mk3 streamer/server that you can... | |
| Seeking A New DAC - Recommendations +1 Chord, and the Gustard X26 would also be worth a good look. Best of luck. |
