| SmoothLan Regenerator from Stack Audio Anyone know how well this thing works with higher quality streaming transports? It makes sense to me that it would be helpful on a modest device, but the higher end stuff should theoretically have jitter and noise reduction built in. But maybe I'm... | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour V I was always curious about the Audio Mirror DACs. They have been around for a long time, have a small but devoted following, and seem well designed. When I was changing my gear out a few years ago I really wanted to get one in for demo but just co... | |
| Holo May KTE vs Lampizator? Agree with the above, very different presentations between each brand. I really enjoyed the May KTE when I had one in for demo, it was crisp and clean, very immediate but not in a bad way. I guess that would be called transient snap? Really lifeli... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @charliee I’m not sure what noisy would mean either but we all describe sound differently. I have the Magnus XLR and Argentum RCA and I would not call either of them noisy. Both are fantastic. | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found I see the Aperta Special Edition now for $899 https://veritascables.com/products/aperta-se-speaker-cable Also found a BNC cable that I don’t remember seeing before https://veritascables.com/products/nexum-b-digital-cable | |
| The new dCS Varese DAC...it is so good that all others are now relegated to history?? I would never buy a product from a company that did that. dCS or MSB? Hmmm. They made it easy for me. Are you aware of the history when it comes to MSB? Maybe not a great example in this context. | |
| LAIV uDDC Arrived I would love to see a shootout between the Laiv and one or more of the Denafrips DDC models. Bonus points for adding the Musician Audio Phoenix and Leo which seem all but identical to the Denafrips counterparts. | |
| Any comments on Presto Music Streaming Services? Presto looks interesting and they have a nice catalog with some rare stuff that isn't easy to find elsewhere. However their Android app is very basic and crashed several times on my Pixel 8 Pro smartphone, just on the very first day I started usin... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Wanted to add an update about the Aeris power cables I've been using for a few weeks now. Still really impressed, I feel like they have opened up even more with use. They did sound excellent straight from the box though. A friend loaned me his A... | |
| HDMI cable to utilize I2s Connection from LAIV uddc to Denafrips Terminator 2 The I2S over HDMI format is frustrating because there really isn't a set standard for the pinouts that is adopted and used by every brand. Instead we get a bunch of different configurations to the point where you are only guaranteed compatibility ... | |
| HiFi Rose RS150B vs. Eversolo DMP-A10 We can’t have a thread mentioning Eversolo without a certain forum member showing up to trash talk them. Not discounting the seemingly poor experience that member had, but it all still feels a little overdone. Many of us have had flawless performa... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @t_ramey I've been using the Veritas Audax USB for a while now and really enjoy it. Excellent articulation and the always elusive musicality that we all want. I did a comparison with a bunch of other quality cables, and I ended up liking the Auda... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @charliee They have always been really fast with replies, sometimes within the hour but not always. I notice the new "contact us" page has a line about how they are still fine tuning the settings for the new site. That line wasn't there when I in... | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 400 v Cary SLI-100 PrimaLuna doesn't seem to get as much love around here compared to many other brands. Not sure why that is. I tried almost a dozen integrated amps (mostly tube based) not too long ago and ended up buying the Evo 300. It just sounded "right" in my ... | |
| Accuphase Design Concepts Great watch, thanks for posting it. I always forget about Accuphase but they really do make exceptional gear. |
