| USB Cable being held hostage…Suggestions? I would post the name here and let the court of public opinion rule on it. Send the company a link to the discussion so they can see how it is going. Do the same on any other forums you frequent. I bet that magically gets them to spring into actio... | |
| Emm labs DAC2x v2 or Meitner MA3i or ? @rays19 I heard both at the home of a friend who uses a slightly older middle of the range Antipodes server which feeds a Berkeley Alpha USB series 2 USB to SPDIF converter, then out to the DAC using AES/EBU cable. Not the most current server but ... | |
| Replace my Auraliti I used to have the Auraliti PK90 back in the day. Great player for that era, made even better when I added a linear power supply. On the downside it could be fussy and didn't always work 100%, even with the simplistic functionality it offered. I p... | |
| Finally! I Made An Informed Choice Nice, Lumin makes excellent gear so you really can't go wrong. | |
| Finally Bought Chord Qutest Congrats, the Qutest is probably my favorite of all the Chord DACs. The most affordable is the little Mojo 2 which I also really enjoy, but the Qutest seems to have the best balance of detail to musicality. The bigger models don't really appeal to... | |
| Emm labs DAC2x v2 or Meitner MA3i or ? I've heard both and have a slight preference for the Meitner. Even though it is the "lower" of the two in terms of original positioning. To my ears the Meitner sounded a little more natural and organic. They are both excellent though. | |
| Laiv Audio µDAC + µDDR — Exceptional Early Performance @papasaws Sorry when you write µDDR do you mean the µDDC? Or is there another new model that I missed? Because it seems like you are talking about the µDDC but these things move so fast that I can't quite be sure. | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @tksteingraber Nice, I was the same way. Started with just one pair and ended up with most of my system being Veritas now. I don’t remember if I posted about it but I picked up a Connexa and Mirus network cables over the past month. Very pleased ... | |
| Thoughts on Iconoclast interconnects? Iconoclast makes really nice cables. Not the most flashy or the best marketing out there, but quality cables regardless. They are a bit overpriced in my opinion (along with many other brands), but nobody can argue they don't make exceptional cable... | |
| Can anyone verify that the Integra DRX 5.4 "Direct Mode" is indeed "Direct? @flash56 Well that's good, I'm glad they got back to you with the confirmation. I agree that you should be aware of what is happening in this mode. Even if it doesn't lead to a night and day change in sound, it's still good to know you are doing t... | |
| You can't hear dialogue because it doesn't matter Embrace the subtitles! I did years ago and haven't looked back since. Even on the rare content with has great dialogue, I still appreciate having the subs there to confirm things. | |
| Can anyone verify that the Integra DRX 5.4 "Direct Mode" is indeed "Direct? I think your quoted section is out of context. The focus should be on "sound closer to the original is reproduced". As in, sound (which is) closer to the original. Or put another way, the sound that is being reproduced is closer to the original so... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Veritas sends out an email newsletter of sorts about once a month with updates about new products and other things. I just read the latest, it is all about pricing. I anticipated it being an explanation of why they must increase pricing either now... | |
| Muzishare R100 300B 805 ... My Review and opinion @jcarcopo sorry to hear that. A great cautionary tale as to why some of these Chinese wonder products might not be such a good buy after all. I have been tempted myself, no doubt, and then I always think about the support aspect and quickly move o... | |
| 3 channel amps As others mentioned, a 3 channel amplifier has three separate channels or amps on board. This would be handy for example when powering your front stereo pair plus a center channel speaker. Then you could power your surround channels with lesser am... |
