| Sony CDP-XA7ES vs CEC TL-1 transport @alex_bolotnikov Alex, do you still own CEC or moved somewhere?Looking at TL1 or Esoteric P0: lots of thought. On one hand, we have completely analogue sound, while countless reliability issues, on the other hand, a deep, transparent and sharp sou... | |
| Selling speakers to a buyer in Russia? @levap not entirely thrue since it is a country of bears and hackers, also, vodka, babushka, ak47 and us Audiophiles. | |
| Selling speakers to a buyer in Russia? Gentlemen,I live in Russia and pretty frequently getting stuff from US.There are strict rules on our customs and sometimes they work pretty poorly (it could take up to one month sometimes, but mostly (9.7 of 10 times) it could be delivered in 2 we... | |
| The most transparent speaker cable Great thread! Thanks everyone for your input!Yes, most of the cables are out of my price range but it's always interesting to know where are the skies located. Mostly I'm interested in under 3k range for a used cable, better is 2k :)Any thoughts o... | |
| Next step after Benchmark DAC1 Meanwhile I've received my DAC1 Pre and at the same time the Acrolink 1400 speaker cable. Have to say, the Pre version is definately sounds more refined and no way harsh as it was in regular version. I really love the sound of my system now and th... | |
| Radiotehnika S90 A, and now what? S90 are rubbish speakers believe me since I'm from russia too. Sadly but your friend have nothing to do with high-end, so please stop trying. | |
| Next step after Benchmark DAC1 I actually have an ability to a/b those dacs by myself as soon as I'll get my DAC1 Pre. Hope soon. | |
| Power cord recommendation for DAC Hey man, what was your impressions on those cables? | |
| Next step after Benchmark DAC1 @Dne, just to clarify my previous experience with DAC1, I've had non USB version and fed it from Apple TV/MacBook Pro via Toslink. So maybe that was an issue source?Right now, I'm waiting for the PRE version of the DAC1 and gonna feed it via stock... | |
| Next step after Benchmark DAC1 Lately, 've listened Mytek, Electrocompaniet EMC1, MCD500 upgraded and T+A 3000 CD player. Across them all, liked more MCD500 and Mytek, but overall, it wasn't my type of sound at all. MCD500 and Mytek were like twins.Still waiting my DAC1 PRE... | |
| Sony SCD-777ES vs current Players Hey Ecosse!First of all, you have a great player and if you like the sound of it, stick to it. Second and in terms of audio, there possibly a wide range of what's you gonna like more, but it may be not. The universal players like OPPO mostly are u... | |
| Next step after Benchmark DAC1 @Dne, ...and a warmer smoother overall sound... that's what I wouldn't like to hear. The DAC1 that I was using was connected via toslink only to variety of sources. Maybe that was the reason. But I've sold the DAC1 a year ago. Right now I'm buying... | |
| Next step after Benchmark DAC1 To be honest, I don't have the DAC1 already and the USB to SPDIF is some clever guess! Never thought of that as possible improvement. Yes I plan to use the DAC with MacMini (USB) and/or with my Apple TV (toslink) to line in in my amp. | |
| Next step after Benchmark DAC1 Uh, thanks guys but the downside of the whole story is that I'm in Russia, that means no 30 days trial and no DAC2 available anywhere. One that I possibly can audition is Chord. BTW, why are you directing me towards the Chord, is that sounds like ... | |
| What to connect with my system? Lloydelee21 thanks, gonna start with some Transparent Refs |
