| Benchmark DAC-1 Get The Most Out Of Your DAC-1 I had my DAC-1 modified by Chris Johnson (of Conrad-Johnson fame), in which the mod focused on the RCA outputs. Frankly, it's because I have Kimber Select 1036 interconnects that I didn't feel like replacing with 1136's. So it's Locus Design Cynos... | |
| Is there a qulaity DAC that has USB and coaxial. Now that you mention your budget, perhaps PS Audio PWD could be a possibility. Please note, though, that it's a full sized component in width and depth at around 17". Not sure if form factor is an issue as opposed to physically smaller units such ... | |
| Is there a qulaity DAC that has USB and coaxial. Jafox has a sound approach here, if you'll forgive them pun. Sonicweld Diverter does an excellent job as well. | |
| Anyone using a USB DSD DAC? God love this thread if it comes true. I'm sorry I don't have anything substantive to provide, but I wanted to be attached so I could follow along as people comment. I have over 100 SACDs, and they're not all hybrids, and I still don't have a viab... | |
| USB cable..what do you have. I'm in for a Locus Design Cynosure. I've worked my way through their line and have noticed leaps and bounds improvements all the way up. I'm thrilled with the product, and with Lee's generous upgrade policy. | |
| One Super high end cable or mid level set? Just for the sake of the "one great cable" argument...If you have a brand you like a lot, I think it's OK to buy one pair now if you think you might be able to budget for an additional pair in the reasonably forseeable future. For example, I'm a b... | |
| SS amps for merlin vsm I'm workin' a Sim Audio i7...certainly under that price point used. Very happy with the setup. | |
| Need USB cable recommendation I've worked my way up the Locus Design chain, and am now up to the Cynosure. They have one for every budget, and I really liked the performance of every single one, relative to price point. Lee is terrific about trade-ins (will give you 100% of th... | |
| usb cable quality and sound For what it's worth, I settled on $1149 for a Locus Design Nucleus. I tried cables in the price ranges of the other commenters, but I wasn't fully satisfied until the Locus came into my life...although I don't deny that the cables mentioned are of... | |
| IPOD CLASSIC 7th Gen, Apple or WAV? I just bought a used car and am in the same boat. 120 GB iPod with all Apple Lossless, and the cable that plugs into the bottom of the iPod, not the earbud input. That's important, because it means the crappy iPod amplifier isn't doing the work; t... | |

| Benchmark Dac1 Versions One other point for you to accept or discard: my Benchmark DAC1 USB opened up a bit when I tried a Furutech power cord. I'm personally a big believer in Furutech products, so I may be hearing what I want to hear. But for me, the improvement was in... | |
| Kimber Select IC's Judging from your remarks, I'd give the 1026's a whirl. The copper-silver hybrid wasn't forward in my system; the copper gave it some weight and the silver gave it some accuracy without being bright (again...my gear and my ear, your mileage may va... | |
| About Wireless Audio This is my first encounter with AudiogoN spam. I must ask...has the world come to this? | |
| Speakers for Simaudio Well, I can tell you that I'm using Merlin VSM-MM with my Sim i7. I'm pleased witht he results, and I would say rock and jazz comprise 80% of my listening. Therefore, maybe a pair of Merlin TSM's would be appropriate in cost/quality to the i1?Just... |
