Are DAC's overpriced?
When my trusty warhorse and high moded  Pioneer PS65 (stable platter) died, I went into a deep search mode as my budget was/is limited. after days of searching and reading, I settled on a Marantz HD CD 1.(MSRP $650) In addition to being a player i...

why would anyone turn off their amps after listening, especially class D amps 
Preamp Choice... a hard call for me.

slimpikinsI haave owned 6+ class Ds oer the last decade, and owned a Parasound A23. I MHO the Audio Alchemy class D comes closest in warmth but is much more open

toetapI don't think anyone here is suggesting that Nord, or most sub $4K class Ds compare to some of the super expensive class Ds, BUT* we all don't have trust fund accounts* it seems no matter the tech (Ill use racing engines) getting that extra ...

Beware of SACD Transports -- they probably will not work with your favorite DAC
SACD is a proprietary format. It must be played using an SACD player or a transport with SACD outputs. Not many player/transports have that, if they do they are $$$$$.I have a Oppo 105, which I can use as a transport(bypassing the internal dacs) B...

noble/TimFYI: I had 2 EP 100.2SEs (with upgraded fuses) for well over a year. I got the bug and bought a Audio Alchemy DPA-1 stereo amp. It is much richer in the midrange and bass, deeper and more holographic sound stage= much closer to real music

Ric, I found it, but I don't see anything specific about mono v stereo. That said, my last 4 class Ds were monos. Only my current AA PA -1 is stereo. Too bd your amps aren't readyI have a chance to do a swap with a guy who has the AA monos for my ...

The Future of Audio Amplification
plga, I just checked Nords site. It would cost > $2.2k for the Mk IIs. I don't mind the wait, but I can get a pair of AA monos for ~ $1500 (MSRP $3990) and that extra $700 I would need to spend now is a big stretch. I realize that the perceived...
