| BEST CD TRANSPORT As I understand it, the Urd also uses the Pro-8 (or a variant of it). I've been in contact with other Urd users who have had similar issues as mine and different issues such as what you're experiencing. I've found these users on many of the other ... | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT Just to add to this: I bought an Urd a year ago (running it into Dac3 B via coax). The combo sounds quite good (comparing it to my Wadia 830 and a modded Oppo 105D). I also use the USB input of the Urd to run my streaming through to the Benchmark ... | |
| Needing DAC Advice As I continued to research and ponder whether to re-dac or not, I made another change to this system that produced rather unexpected but very welcome results. I came across another Pass X150 at an attractive price and, well, you can never have too... | |
| Needing DAC Advice (Took the week off to do a little skiing...) Thanks for all the input, much appreciated. To update, I just replaced the preamp-amp interconnects from Signal Silver Resolution to Mogami 2549 Y cables, added a second Pass X150 amp, and vertically b... | |
| Needing DAC Advice @g2the2nd Border Patrol does not appear to have a balanced output option. | |
| Needing DAC Advice @oddiofyl thanks for your advice. For ref, I'm not quick to spend any amount for anything. I research, I demo, I study, I seek advice, and then I think about it some more. I don't 'roll' gear. I tend to stick with my main stuff for extended period... | |
| Needing DAC Advice @yage I won't be changing my speakers. I like the sound of the SL3's. They've been rebuilt and they agree favorably with my Pass amps. @big_greg I looked hard at Jays transport before buying the Urd. I convinced myself I wouldn't like the top loa... | |
| Needing DAC Advice zlone I've read others posts who've mentioned the buffered stage was the preferred output on the Freya. I guess I need to try it. I've conspicuously avoided playing around with the preamp, just because it goes against my grain - graduate of the s... | |
| Needing DAC Advice Budget is relative but let’s say $5k, new or used. As far as what I’m looking for in sound…rounder, richer, fuller? I have no shortage of detail now (and I like detail). But there’s a lack of character, for lack of a better term. Bass and mid bass... | |
| Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping? The potential (and real) benefit of going to passive bi-amping is solely about power - as it is the only characteristic of the system being changed. In my case, I have speakers (passive bi-ample) whose sonic character I prefer. Likewise, I have an... | |
| upgrade player or use modified oppo bdp 105 as transport First, the Schiit is very well-built. The tray is solid, more like my Wadia, not the plastic-y feel of the Oppo 105. The relief for CD placement is a little shallow so you have to feel around a bit to make sure the CD is properly placed - this wil... | |
| upgrade player or use modified oppo bdp 105 as transport I'm going to try a Schiit Urd (arriving today) into a Benchmark DAC3 (arrived yesterday) to replace my heavily modified 105D going into a Primaluna Dialogue Premium integrated driving rebuilt ML SL3s in my 'house' system. With the 105D this system... |
