| Need help choosing a new DAC @marlin38 I'm actually thinking about getting a HDCD compliant CD player because I have so many Dead CDs. My CXC V2 isn't HDCD compliant. And the Dead CDs are about the only discs that get played in my system. | |
| Need help choosing a new DAC @arafiq I'm not 100% certain I'm going with a tube DAC. In fact, tube DACs only recently came on my radar as I have been doing research. The other components in my system aren't leaving anytime soon. Just trying to find the right DAC for my... | |
| Need help choosing a new DAC @scottya118 I will check out the Sonnet Morpheus, but it is slightly more than I want to spend at this time | |
| Need help choosing a new DAC @charles1dad I will look into the Merason Frerot. | |
| Need help choosing a new DAC @jimob My max budget is $2500 | |
| Need help choosing a new DAC @arafiq I'm going to audition the DACs before I buy. As for a tube DAC paired with a tube preamp, I've read a few posts on the forums where the Audio Mirror was used with the same preamp I have. They loved it! | |
| Need help choosing a new DAC @mresseguie Thanks for the reply! I definitely don't need MQA or DSD. I went on a few sites to see what was available in DSD and nothing I listen to is in that format. I'm leaning towards auditioning the Orchid since it costs less than the othe... | |
| Need help choosing a new DAC @arafiq is there a good site on the internet for DSD? I haven't seen any DSD files on Qobuz, but TBH, I haven't looked for them either. | |
| Need help choosing a new DAC @fuzztone The Don Sachs preamp has a balance input but the output is RCA. I don't think I have ever listened to a DSD file so that isn't a concern for me. | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition Don Sachs tube preamp | |
| Magnepan Mylar Repair @mofimadness Thanks for the info! Use the hair dryer on the whole mylar or just the area that's slapping? And overall, how long should I run the hair dryer? | |
| I'm looking for a pair of interconnects that won't shatter the bank.... Ice Age Audio makes excellent cables at very reasonable prices. | |
| Dedicated Circuit Thanks for the info!! Since I don't need to tear up any walls to run the wire, my thoughts were might as well run a dedicated line. It certainly won't be detrimental. Also, just found my dad has 100 ft of 12 gauge Romex at his house. My only ex... | |
| Dedicated Circuit @yogiboy Thanks for the link. I was actually looking at that exact wire on HD's website a few hours ago. | |
| Dedicated Circuit @millercarbon I'm only planning to run one dedicated line. Don't need anything more than that. I recently got some power cables from Ice Age Audio on the recommendation of Don Sachs. A good power conditioner is on my list of future upgrades. ... |
