| How To Connect a DAC? Well, I bought the SMSL M400 thinking, ‘it costs more than the entire NODE, and is bigger that the NODE, so as a DAC only it must be better than the little DAC in the NODE.’ This is what my untrained ear noticed with the new DAC: More bass - too... | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now Reminds me of a car salesman telling me, “you’d be surprised at how many people pick a car by its color.” Also, I always note when a review starts with a critique of the looks of a piece of audio equipment…it’s AUDIO equipment! | |
| Recommendations for good sounding streamer I have a Node 3 and am very pleased with the sound quality. I haven’t compared it to anything else though. I upgraded the power supply for a positive improvement and will next try a separate SMSL DAC. I like controlling it from an iPad. Audio ... | |
| How To Connect a DAC? I seriously considered the Gustard R26 on sale - but it is a lot of money for me. Also a return either because it was faulty or I didn’t like it would be to China, and no way am I going to take a risk on international shipping of an expensive ele... | |
| How To Connect a DAC? @soix You make some very good points! As to some degree I’m taking a shot in the dark, I never thought about buying new and returning if it’s not worthwhile. I’ll have to see if the ‘return’ is to China, as shipping could get expensive. | |
| How To Connect a DAC? Here’s what Topping technical assistance recommended: ‘You could use the XLR output of the D90SE to the subwoofers. 1 subwoofer be connected to R and the other to L” Then I would connect the active/powered speakers to the R and L RCA outputs on ... | |
| How To Connect a DAC? @holmz Oh, I’m in Duluth. But I don’t know anyone who has expertise in audio. We have a Best Buy, but I don’t think they have a music listening setup. | |
| How To Connect a DAC? Ha! I guess I was surprised that someone noticed my sound system when it was playing in the background. I don’t live near an audio store, so next time I get to Minneapolis I’ll have to stop at one to see what really good systems sound like. I’v... | |
| Gustard R26 on sale I was looking at the sale. The 2 comments were very brief and didn’t elaborate. If the R26’s are defective, can you explain how? On the Musitec, was it defective? If so, what was wrong with it? Did you pay duty to receive it, send it back or ... | |
| How To Connect a DAC? Hmmmm….maybe my component choices so far have been pretty good. I had a guy over buying a projector, and he was about 3/4 of the way back in my room. He stopped and said, “what kind of music system is that? It sounds really good.” I told him ... | |
| How To Connect a DAC? A bit more information that might help explain things: I’m hearing deficient in higher frequencies. Sometimes I can hear the sound of the hammer on a piano high note, but not the note itself. If high frequency problems are in my room, I don’t h... | |
| How To Connect a DAC? @painter24 Yes, that is a good upgrade. I recently added a CD Creative board with Pardo LPS and I confirm the improvement! @holmz Thx! I can tell that you are really trying to understand my whole system to help me! The BeoLab 8000 speakers wer... | |
| How To Connect a DAC? @hoimz We have 7 4’x6’ utility rugs on the floor. A carpeted stairway comes into the space. Upholstered couch and 12 chairs/stools. 6 bookshelves. 3 plants. Etc. I don’t notice it being echoey. I have read many comments by people with a No... | |
| How To Connect a DAC? designsfx OK, got it! I didn’t understand what @audiotroy was suggesting. Worth a try! | |
| How To Connect a DAC? designsfx OK, the DAC’s I mentioned have 2 unbalanced RCA Outs, a R and a L. I have 2 speakers and 2 subs to connect to them. That was my question….how do I do that? Are you suggesting that I connect the 2 speakers to the DAC, and leave the 2 sub... |
