| DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ?? The hype is hard to keep up with, but there are many great DACs depending on what you want to spend (and what you want to hear.) First I wanted a Weis, then a T+A, but bought a LaIV Harmony which I love. I briefly had buyer’s remorse when I heard ... | |
| New Eversolo DMP-A10 I just connected a LAiV Harmony DAC via I2S to my A8 and I’ve never had a system that sounded so good. I often forget I’m listening to digital because I’m so lost in the music and realism. I’m even listening to types of music I wouldn’t normally l... | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? @testpilot After getting my unit back from the Ultimate Upgrade I listened to it for about a week before one V/U light burned out. I specifically told them to put in new bulbs at the time of the upgrade. Sent it back and then never re-opened the b... | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? If you like the way it looks take a photo because it probably won’t last. My V/U lights were constantly burning out. Customer service was rude, arrogant, stupid & expensive. I’ll never buy another Cary. My comment from 2018: https://forum.au... | |
| Streamer, Dac,with Pre Amp If you use the analog out to your new integrate amp you’ll be using both pre-amps. That’s ok. You won’t have the sound of just your new integrated preamp. You’ll have two gain (volume) controls. That’s my current configuration and it’s fine. I’m g... | |
| Streamer, Dac,with Pre Amp The only way to by pass the A8 pre-amp is to use one of the digital outputs. Use the USB or the IIS because they are higher quality. If you want to use your t.v. with A8 or another DAC use the ARC connection from your t.v. to the DAC or A8. | |
| Streamer, Dac,with Pre Amp I haven’t had any problems with my A8 and I recently updated the software without any trouble. The latest update added support for Apple Music & Podcasts. I’m using an older CJ PV-12 for a preamp, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong wit... | |
| Wanna take it to the next level? Buy MORE speakers! With regard to holographic sound I once own a very rare piece of equipment that was used to master the first Starwars movie. It was a Bedini with a couple of nobs that could expand or center the sound. Carver then mass marketed a holographic gener... | |
| Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary Eversolo A8. You can turn the screen off if you don’t like it. DAC out if you don’t like the internal one (which is very good.) Integrates with every streaming source I’ve ever heard of and more. You can rip CDs to it, ARC hdmi to your T.V., netwo... | |
| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS I bought a Pioneer RT-707 and am having it restored at J-Coder It’s supposed to be a good sounding entry level R2R Moving up from there are the Technics 1500 or 1720 decks | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album Elvis Back in Nashville. I’ve only herd the digital version, but if you like Elvis it’s interesting to listing to him joking around in the studio. Produced from the original Studio Master Tapes & available on LP. https://www.elvispresleysho... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album @mijostyn Hi, thanks for the recommendation. I’ve already started doing that. For a year or so I was only streaming lossless from my iPhone over Bluetooth, but have recently purchased an Eversolo A8 and signed up with Qobuz. Then I imported my App... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album @mijostyn No, I haven’t ever heard a super high end player, but have owned some lo-fi/mid-fi players. And I’ve only heard reel-to-reel and few times. The first was in the ‘70s playing Fleetwood Mac and I was so blown away by the sound, it left an ... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album @mgattmch wow, great link! Thank you. |
