| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality I have reached the same conclusion. I use tidal master streaming the highest tier service they provide and listen to what they call the master tracks. Using the same DAC with my CD player ( ARCAM CDS50) I can tell subtle detail that is more presen... | |
| amp upgrade Thanks for the review article it does echo my experience. I recently got an Arcam sa20 amp and st60 streamer with DAC and sound quality improver noticeably. Including low volumes. The other amp was just not a good match for my speakers. | |
| New KEF R11 META : The Real Giant Killers ! I listened to these side by side to B&W 702 s3 as well as the ML x100 mentioned in this review. Between these 3 the KEFs had the most neutral cleanest sound. The bass was not as strong as the B&W or the ML which had the strongest bass but ... | |
| amp upgrade I looked at AVR I have ceiling speakers that can function as 4 channel, the issue is that I want the integrated amp to drive the tower speakers (most cheap AVR sound awful, I had a pioneer "elite" and ditched ditched it a while back). furthermore... | |
| amp upgrade thanks, sorry I was not clear. the movie source is not blue ray, they are mostly streaming 4K from the smart TV which is connected to the amp via optical. The TV converts from DTS5.1 to 2CH PCM stereo. Maybe the issue is the TV DSP and downsamplin... | |
| Best headphone amp under $400 thanks all ended up with dragon fly cobalt, sounds really good. had seen mojo pretty nice too but a bit too large (want to fit in a pocket without feeling it!) | |
| Best headphone amp under $400 I am looking for AMP + DAC in one package. I have read very good reviews of the AQ dragonfly. was looking at cobalt. DO you mean barely enough for high impedance headphones or just any headphone ?thanks | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables I have the flat cables they are white. my speakers are B&W 683S2 hooked up to CA CXA80 amp if that helps. these cables are good but they are too short now give the new furniture I got 2m, I need to get 3m now... thanks | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables Thanks are these better than nordost or Audio quest ? | |
| Entry level amp it only has a single optical input? | |
| Entry level amp thanks, I want to keep it below $1000. NAD is nice but it doesn't have digital inputs and gets pricey.what are your thoughts about Cambridge Audi CX-A80 https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/products/cx/cxa80 | |
| B&W 683S2 for entery level speakers After listening to alternatives including ML and Sonus Faber I went with the B&W's. they sounded the best in this range IMO. thanks everyone | |
| B&W 683S2 for entery level speakers true, but they sounded good so I may be able to place them about a ft. from the wall and add a sub | |
| B&W 683S2 for entery level speakers I listened to a few more speakers, one other option that caught my ear! was the Martin Logan motion 40, they are a bit more expensive than the B&W's but the cabinet build felt better and they also sounded a bit more clear when playing busy roc... | |
| B&W 683S2 for entery level speakers Yes, I understand the B&W are 3-way speakers. I was actually looking at Klipsch reference premier too (2-way) , but they are rear-ported and need a subwoofer too. |
