| Positive experience with Ayre Wait until you get the QX-5 Twenty. If you like Codex, you will be blown away by the QX-5!And Gary @ Ayre is a class act guy! | |
| How good is MSB Discrete Dac? It totally smokes / blows Bricasti out of the water! I guarantee you that. | |
| Denafrips Terminator vs other dacs I have the dual Discrete Power supplies. It comes with one, included in base price. I paid $1,450 for the second. Well worth it.Have only heard DAVE at local headphones meet ups. Never owned one. I know it needs the M-Scaler to really shine. Two f... | |
| How good is MSB Discrete Dac? Add one module, either Renderer (Ethernet streaming) at $1,950, ProUSB module with Converter Dongle (also $1,950 for the set that includes the fiber cable), and with the optional second PS you are looking at $13,400. Not cheap, but well worth it.I... | |
| How good is MSB Discrete Dac? Email Vince from MSB: vince@msbtechnology.comThey have a mobile demo service, and may be able to let you borrow one for in-home audition | |
| Denafrips Terminator vs other dacs Oh, and as an owner of the Holo Spring KTE Level 3, which is also r2r tech like Denafpris and MSB, I can tell you that Ayre QX-5 Twenty was much better. So, it's not just matter of technology. It is more a matter of implementation of the technology | |
| Denafrips Terminator vs other dacs I have the Ayre QX-5 Twenty up for sale now @shkong78 . That says a lot. Ayre was my favorite DAC for over a year, and I have tried many DACs.The MSB does something to the music that I have a hard time to explain. It has a kind of "liquid" present... | |
| Denafrips Terminator vs other dacs No @smodtactical --- the second power supply is less than $1,500. It already comes with one. if you add (let's say) the Renderer module for Ethernet streaming, it will add another $1995 to the price. So about $13K to $14K tops MSRP give or take. T... | |
| Denafrips Terminator vs other dacs @smodractical base price of the Discrete DAC starts just under $10K. Not sure how you came up with ten times that | |
| Denafrips Terminator vs other dacs If you like R2R DACs, MSB is best out there. Period. I used to own the Holo Spring KTE (Kitsune Tuned Edition Level 3), and my MSB Discrete DAC is in a total different league. Sublime! | |
| Where to rent 4K DVD's? Here: https://www.store-3d-blurayrental.com/default.aspI have been using them for about 3 years now | |
| Sablon Ethernet / LAN Cable Sorry @jim204 but I no longer stream from a computer | |
| Integrated Amps - Ayre vs Pass Labs @denon1 You don’t have the Gryphon Diablo 300? You kept Pass INT-250?You had a long running thread during 2017 replacing the Pass with Gryphon @den | |
| Aurender vs. Roon I just find it interesting that a post via video by someone with experience in the audio field can be so intimidating... I would think A) if it has merit then that much the better. B) if it does not have any merit than so be it.. C) this post wa... | |
| Aurender vs. Roon So, question is, was the video accurate in determining the cost ($600-$700.00) of the innards and or production of unit? If it's in the Internet, it must be true, right? |
