| 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... | |

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... |
