| Wireworld Platinum Starlight 48 i2s over HDMI @magnussen In my system/room, I found the Silver Sphere to be a bit shouty. The Concentus was very extended on top and bottom, and the Platinum Starlight seems the most detailed and balanced. | |
| NewOnTech Dac07 - Any Users Out There? @rockadanny Compared to what dac(s)? | |
| Wireworld Platinum Starlight 48 i2s over HDMI Just an update... I ended up getting the Platinum Starlight 48, and compared to the Tubulus, it is more detailed but gives up some warmth. I plan on keeping both! | |
| Benchmark DAC3 vs. Denafrips Pontus II @audphile1 Will the xp-12 handle the full output of the dac3? Or do you have to use the jumpers to attenuate -10db? | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k If you value detail and transparency, I would avoid the R2R DACs you have listed. Try a Benchmark or even an SMSL D400es or SU-10. | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @yyzsantabarbara can you expound on what you mean by "buttoned up" and "wild child'? I currently have an OpticalRendu and was wondering how it compares to the Lumin streamers. "The Sonore OpticalRendu is also incredible and is now discontinued un... | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had Iconoclast SPTPC Series 2 | |
| Wireworld Platinum Starlight 48 i2s over HDMI I've tried the Wireworld Silver Sphere (the one below the Platinum Starlight). It was good, but did not surpass the Concentus. | |
| Digital Dilemma @bigshutterbug How did the D400EX compare to the Dac3? | |
| Denafrips Athena- is damn good @gochurchgo I also have Odyssey Kismet monoblocks and am looking at the Athena to pair with them. I currently use a Pass XP-12, but I think it's a bit too detailed sounding. It sounds like the Athena may work well. I'm assuming you went single-end... | |
| Neotech NEI-3001 Mk III balanced interconnect cable @jaytor May I ask what you didn't like about the Neotech? Also agree on the Iconoclast - very good! I have their speaker cables. | |
| Neotech NEI-3001 Mk III balanced interconnect cable I know this is an old post, but did you end up getting the Neotech cable? Thoughts? | |
| Denafrips Terminator II and Gaia DDC @jpayne Did you ever get this figured out? I recently tried clock syncing my Gaia and T2. With both units set to the "000" pinout configuration, it's very distorted. | |
| Denafrips Terminator II and Gaia DDC Check out the Vinshine Youtube channel. It has good directions. Although I wouldn't recommend syncing the TII clock with the Gaia. You'd be using the lesser quality TII clock and bypassing the Gaia's better clocks. | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? This thread is really old - BUT - Are the Pass monoblocks bridged stereo amps? They have two sets of binding posts. |
