| need advice Russman,Your room is about the size of mine. Are you a bass nut? How loud do you listen? Are you going to be running a sub? Is this going to be a dedicated listening room or a family room/den? How much freedom are you going to have in setting up t... | |
| Squeezebox Touch with an Oppo BDP-105 Tuneman, really, I don't even remember if the Touch will play 24/192 files without the "Enhanced Digital Out" third party application. If you are getting an unsupported file error with 24/192 files, you should try installing the "Enhanced Digital ... | |
| Budget DAC - Have AE D2 If you're thinking about the uDAC, check out their website. They have a try it before you buy it program. | |
| Speakers 12.5" or shorter, $1K new or used Magnum, the Supreme Plus model is what I have.I appreciate all of the suggestions and have gained some food for thought, but it appears that for the $1K range, I'm probably doing about the best that I can, especially considering my space constrain... | |
| Squeezebox Touch with an Oppo BDP-105 Tuneman,You can use the USB as an output, but you have to install a third party app to make it work. It isn't a bad deal, though. From what I understand, the third party app was written by a guy that was on Logitech Squeezebox team. The app is cal... | |
| Budget DAC - Have AE D2 Oh man.Emotiva XDA-1 or XDA-2, Arcam rDAC, Peachtree DACit, Wyred4Sound uDAC, Schiit Bifrost, etc. | |
| Closest DAC to Vinyl Sound? I think that the OP WAS looking for something that didn't produce a fatiguing or overly analytical sound.In any case, the question being almost two years old, I wonder what the OP settled on. | |
| How much are beats headphones and the sound? I should have added above that they are fairly well built. I only say that because I know how hard my son is on his portable stuff. He's on his fifth or sixth iPod, but the same pair of Beats. | |
| Speakers 12.5" or shorter, $1K new or used Thanks, guys. Like I said, I've tried the LS50s, but a couple of things have changed since I tried them. If I get the opportunity to, I'll give them another shot.I also googled the Gallo Strada. That looks like an interesting little speaker. I'll ... | |
| How to select a subwoofer Salevick,Is that bottom end being reported as 25hz according to the manufacturer's specs or some measurements that were published in a magazine?I'm asking because manufacturer's specs are usually on the optimistic side and magazine specs show what... | |
| Speakers 12.5" or shorter, $1K new or used Donjr,Go for it. I've tried them and in my room, they are nothing special. From what I've seen, they need some room to breathe and I can't provide that. Right now, I'm thinking about checking out the ATCs mentioned above and Dynaudio Excite X12s.K... | |
| Audio Research LS2B MKll vs Emotiva XSP-1 I don't own any Audio Research gear, but have always wanted to get into it and continue to wait for when the time is right. I do, however, sort of keep up with Audio Research gear through my local high end shop. The owner is a big fan of Audio Res... | |
| Sonos to Amp - is simplicity better? Without more information about the rest of your system, it's going to be impossible to tell if the rest of your system will be resolving enough to be able to tell the difference between using an internal or external DAC, or using a preamp.My syste... | |
| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? lowrider,In a late night daze, I ordered a pair of Fmods, made by Harrison Labs. I got them in a couple of weeks ago and they've been sitting in my truck ever since. With all of the talk of crossovers and such, I guess I thought I'd give them a tr... | |
| Odd shaped Amps and preamps Maybe a bit off of the beaten path, but perhaps you could look into the Hypex NC400 amplifier modules. They are class D and seem to be what the people want these days, in terms of class D.What sort of package you put them into is up to you and the... |
