| good quality multi-disc CDP? SonyStyle SCD-CE595 refurbished for $60 (a suggestion from Buconero). I use it with a separate DAC but it is a good player. A little different flavor from the Emotiva which is more refined and deeper. The 595 has the advantage of SACD if you have ... | |
| Eastern Electric's new tube DAC using ESS Sabre?? My experience with using an Oppo 80 as a transport, as well as my MacMini>Hiface, showed the Oppo to be a decent transport except the EE didn't like the optical out from the Oppo. I experienced drop-outs. The EE liked the coaxial. I don't know ... | |
| Does Bi-amping really make a difference in sound? I've got to back up Kal on this one. Search the posts. There are 382 posts in the search for "biamp". Nothing new here. | |
| von schweikert vr 4 You problems here. I don't adjust it very often, though. | |
| Replacing Optical Drive on I-Mac G5 I had great experience with a company called Myservice. They send you a box for shipping if you don't have one, have quick turnaround times, reasonable prices and professional work. They work on all Macs for replacement parts and upgrades. Highly ... | |
| Fun Little Project for improving Dynamics All this time I thought it was Hedley Lamar! Oops. By the way thanks to Ozzy for giving us such an entertaining thread. I'm glad you are a good sport about it. This is a tough room to work sometimes. At least it wasn't a thread about which blue je... | |
| PC audio with S/pdif input only Laptop-USB-M2Tech Hiface-digital coax cable. Cost$200. | |
| Eastern Electric DAC USB input vs asynchronous Yes, I have. Using the M2Tech Hiface vs the stock USB there is a difference. It is not night and day but I hear a clearer separation of instruments, more life-like tone of the instruments and voices, and it will pass through 192K if you have any h... | |
| Creek 5350 SE vs YBA YA 201 Rel2, I think your choice was correct, even more so because you will now pick up your Martin. There was a thread about musical instruments in the room where the stereo is played and how this may cause problems with the sound. I say, music is music... | |
| Review: Eastern Electric Minimax DAC DA converter Using a M2Tech Hiface USB-digital converter to the EE Dac is a superb listening experience. I moved from a Cambridge and a PS Audio DLIII to the EE tubed DAC. This is a great DAC. The voices are clear and the stringed instruments are so palpable. ... | |
| Eastern Electric DAC does not have XLR outs?? Only if you have long runs that are likely to have interference problems. My EE Dac is a great unit with a beautiful sound. My preamp accepts only RCA inputs so it is not an issue with me. Others will have different opinion. If the distance is sho... | |
| Plugging Amp into Power Conditioner??? It depends on the amp and how much instantaneous current it can draw from your outlet. Some amps need a lot of current while others, perhaps switching amps, need less. I didn't notice any difference when my Bel Canto M300s were plugged into my sur... | |
| Creek 5350 SE vs YBA YA 201 What would it cost in money and time to fix the Creek? You like the sound, it is currently unsellable, and you take a chance on any other amp. I certainly love mine. | |
| PS audio digital link 3 or similiar Dac I recently replaced the stock DLIII with an Eastern Electric Tube DAC. So much better. I can't compare to the W4S. Return fee is too high. I can say that this is the best digital sound I have ever had in my system, and the critics all agree. Check... | |
