| Berkeley Audio Design Alpha DAC Series 3 If there’s a more appropriate thread, please provide a link. What’s the most costly known DAC AB tested vs. BADA Series 3 in which users preferred the latter? If known: did the AB test include BAD’s USB to SPDIF convertor? My streamer/music p... | |
| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer Dr. Patrick Gleeson personally tutored me in analog synthesizer programming at Different Fur Trading Company in San Francisco, the studio Patrick co-owned with Chief Engineer John Vieira. John upgraded their Studer half-track half-inch 15 ips mast... | |
| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer @lalitk @Roon users have a clear understanding on how to maximize ROON potential beyond the SOTA interface. I’m a minimalist, so I prefer a one box ROON system and IS-1 is clearly not a one box solution for ROON users. For most people, this may... | |
| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer @lalitk “But there are some guys that will shoot it down without hearing it.” There is a valid reason to do so, IS-1 is a half-baked product for ROON users. It appears to be designed targeted for audiences who prefers Audirvana. And that’s ok!... | |
| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer @lalitk I am in Texas and I appreciate the demo offer but any Roon based streamer with a requirement to maintain external CORE hardware is a non-starter for me. I don’t see any valid argument why core + renderer can’t be properly implemented ... | |
| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer My Infigo IS-1 (Infigo Streamer 1) drives my Infigo Method 4 DAC. I am an 80 minute drive NE of Salt Lake City. I’d love someone to bring their $20k Antipodes K50 streamer or $30k Taiko Extreme streamer to AB vs. IS-1. Ditto, any cost no object DA... | |
| My Comments on the Infigo Audio IS-1 Signature Streamer Someone above suggested comparing IS-1 with Aurender's N200, approximately $6300. The OP later typed the IS-1 replaced a $12k Aurender N20; an N200 comparison seems moot. Based on my European friend's experience who AB tested a Mele-based DI... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? Audiogon Discussion Forum The best and better performing dedicated streamers outperform any known consumer over the counter computer including cost-no-object Mac. Search results on this subject including appropriate AB tests supports this opinio... | |
| SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II Thanks, laginz. Those are powerful comments Re. Son II. For those familiar with SST Son/Bongiorno: how long do you estimate it takes (playing music) for a very cold Son to achieve about 80% of its best potential sound quality? It is mind-bogg... | |
| SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II Laginz: thanks for your comment. If possible, please list a brief note comparing your Son II to any other amp readers may find interesting. Did you ever AB test Son/Bongo vs. your Son II/Sarmento? If anyone has done that, please post your thoughts... | |
| SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II I was an assembler for a certain speaker brand; the CEO of that speaker company was one of Bongo’s biggest industry supporters. Bongo premiered his new SST/Ampzilla 2000 V1 mono at THE Show with this speaker company, IIRC in the year 2000. I owne... | |
| SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II I find it quite strange to read such detailed comments about certain amplifiers when the amplifiers mentioned by name do not exist. All "Son of Ampzilla" amplifiers under the SST and/or "Ampzilla 2000" badge are stereo amplifiers with absolutely ... | |
| Upsampling PCM or DSD in 2022 I cannot and shall not have any general conclusion. I shall say though that HQ Player upscaling all PCM to DSD only using HQ Player author Miska's specific recommended modulator (requires high power dedicated computer) > T+A DAC 200 ($7150 USD... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 My system comprises only world-class components; the speaker system is 2 levels beyond a model that AV Showrooms and Enjoy the Music awarded Best of Show @ 2022 FLAX. I have heard the $100k dCS rack and also the $85k MSB rack. IMO HQ Player (abou... |
