| Does the 'Buck' Start with the DAC? That’s spot on. I totally agree. I think of the digital chain as ONE body comprised of four elements:1) Server 2) Streamer 3) DAC4) Peripherals (power supplies, Internet transmission, cables)Often times, two or more of these combined in one unit (... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? Let me blunt: I will no longer feed YOU | |
| Lunim T2 vs Cary Audio DMS 600 About DMS-550? I don't know. I used to have the DMS-500, the version before the 550. To my ears, the 500 was better than the Lumin T1 I had at that time, at the same time. That was a couple of years ago. I have never hear the 550, the 600, or the T2. | |
| Another Streamer Recommendation Question I am definitely seriously considering just using the NUC as the source using an LPS and good USB cable. Even if I ultimately purchase a high-quality USB streamer, the LPS and USB cable are not lost investments, so it seems like this is a good st... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? I learned a long time ago that feeding the trolls is bad. It empowers them. And yet, I keep doing it. I should not. | |
| Lunim T2 vs Cary Audio DMS 600 @bwguy --- because it is out of stock! check the rest of the digital sources: https://carydirect.com/shop-now/digital-sources.html Can you notice a pattern on pricing? ;-) | |
| Another Streamer Recommendation Question I would say ZENith MK3 but it is way over your budget. Or a ZEN MK3 plus PhoenixUSB, but that combo is also way over your budget.The path of least resistance for you is to get a good LPS to feed your fanless case NUC and stream from it. For good U... | |
| Lunim T2 vs Cary Audio DMS 600 bwguy52 posts04-30-2020 3:00pm I have the Lumin T2 and really like it. Big improvement coming from streaming from my computer. Of course it will be big improvement coming from streaming from a computer. Were you using your computer as a DAC t... | |
| What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems? I am using the Sonore by Cardas USB cable with great success: https://www.sonore.us/USB.html In my system, it does a better job than other, more expensive options. | |
| Lunim T2 vs Cary Audio DMS 600 I know this is not what you were looking for, but I used to own the previous versions of them both, the Lumin T1 and Cary DMS-500. I had them in my system at the same time for a month or so. I much preferred Cary than Lumin, and not simply because... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? OP -- I am very sorry the thread is hijacked (again) from the naysayers. Unfortunately this is the state of affairs in audio, every single thread gets hijacked from people who have zero interest in the subject. Yet, for some reason, they all flock... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? Hey Glupson: on your ice cream analogy, those people have tried them both, have eaten both vanilla and chocolate ice cream, and they decided which one they like. I don’t think a vanilla ice cream lover never tried chocolate ice cream before decidi... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? @boxer12: what is the opposite of Audiophile? I am guessing Audiohater? I would agree in this case | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? You are calling Dow Jones an audiophile? LOL! It’s like calling a drunken homeless from the street a wine connoisseur.Dow Jones just posted a brand new thread with a link “proving” why a $2 (yes, two American dollars, like two dollar bills, or eig... |
