| Best DAC for $500 I agree with Gumbydammit. The Emotiva is an excellent dac with 6 digital inputs. Buy that for 249.00 and add a Musical Fidelity V-Link for around 90 from Amazon and you will have one heck of a digital set up. You will be able to decode all files o... | |
| Questions about Musical Fidelity V-Link USB/SPDIF The V Link brought the XDA-1 to the next level. Music sounded much more relaxed and I could listen for many hours at a time. Bass was good, mids and highs were smooth. I recently moved up to the Wyred4Sound DAC1 and using in conjunction with the V... | |
| VTI audio rack, any good? I bought a Salamander Synergy S40 s shelf audio rack with a 7th shelf that pulls out for my laptop. I also added the perforated metal sides and the rack looks stunning in my living room. It is extremely well made and very sturdy. The shelf spacing... | |
| long speaker cables or IC's for budget system I have a pair of MIT T2 speaker cables which are 19.4 feet in length. If interested, send me a pm, it will be worth your while. I will be listing them here tomorrow as soon as I take pictures of them. | |
| Do I need a DAC? Your cd player already has a built in dac so the answer would be no. | |
| Marantz 2245 & Rega Brio It sounds like you may have a cold solder connection or two on the Marantz. I had the same problem with a Classe cap150 integrated amp. I had a tech go over all the soldered connections and all was fine after that. | |
| Best audio purchase of 2011 Bought an Emotiva DAC and Musical Fidelity V-Link usb/spdif converter. Replaced the bulk of my interconnects with Groneberg Quattro Reference cables and upgraded my speaker cables to Groneberg Quattreo Reference as well. Just ordered a new Salaman... | |
| Any Caviar Fans Here? what does this have to do with audio? | |
| What is the best DAC under $500? Right now you can get the Emotiva dac on closeout for 250.00 At that price, it's a steal. I am using one in conjunction with a Musical Fidelity V-Link and couldn't be happier. The dac offers a lot of bang for the buck and is very musical. It is no... | |
| What did you get for Christmas? My wonderful wife gave me a complete Groneberg Cable set consisting of 2 one meter pairs of interconnects, a 1.5 meter pair of interconnects, and a pair of 20 foot speaker cables. I am in audio heaven. | |
| Jaton or Emotiva Preamp? I have never heard Emotiva's preamp, but I do have their XDA-1 DAC in my system which also includes an Odyssey Stratos Extreme amp. The sound is heavenly. Emotiva gives a lot of bang for the buck because it is manufactured in China and sold factor... | |
| Replacing Audible Illusion Preamp Feet I removed the feet on my preamp and replaced them with gold cones held in place with 3m double sided tape. Works like a charm | |
| Replacing Audible Illusion Preamp Feet yes you can, there are no locknuts above. | |
| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" I am in the all the same brand category. I use various Shunyata powercords and conditioners throughout my system. I am a firm believer in synergy. | |
| Good DAC with two optical inputs Emotiva XDA-1 dac. 2 optical, 2 coaxial, 1 usb. Closeout price of 200.00 Comparable to dac's costing up to 1,000.00. |
