| New Eversolo DMP-A10 Oh that's interesting. I was not aware of that. Seems like it should have been an easy fix with firmware updates so not sure how the ball got dropped so badly there. Especially since McIntosh is not some fringe tiny brand with few users. I've used... | |
| New Eversolo DMP-A10 @jjtarnow The A8 already sounds excellent, so there's nothing wrong with sticking to that one. I think the room correction in the A10 might be a big deal for some people and totally unwelcome for other people, so that really depends. Build quality... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @samureyex That's tempting but probably won't happen until 2025. I already have some Cerious Technology Graphene Extreme that I'm pretty happy with. Is that enough though? Of course not. Which is why I also have a few different speaker cables th... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @samureyex Thank you, I don't always know how to describe what I hear but it's still fun to try. Hopefully my ramblings are useful to someone. I can see how some systems would favor the WyWires Diamond over the Veritas Argentum R. I actually fe... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 Loving my A8 as well! I find the internal DAC to be very satisfying if not quite the best thing ever. I had a $4.5k Wyred 4 Sound 10th Anniversary DAC in that system and I did notice the difference in character, but it wasn't drastic. Sold the Wyr... | |
| Merason dac MK1 on audio mart Sorry for your bad experience, scammers are the worst. Don’t let it sour you on 2nd hand purchases in general or especially on the Merason which is a fantastic device. Sounds like you did all the usual things to be responsible so I wouldn’t feel t... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Now that I’ve spent some time with the Veritas Argentum R, I wanted to share my thoughts in a bit more detail. To start, I was originally using the Eversolo DMP-A8 paired with a Holo Audio Bliss headphone amp, driving the Raal Requisite CA-1a head... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @denon1 What gear are you using it with? Just out of curiosity. | |
| Who puts their speakers right up against the back wall and why? Another vote for the Larsens, or the older Sjofn HiFi Clue standmounts, or Audio Note, or some of the Gradient models, and a bunch more I am forgetting. | |
| Kef Blade to Blade meta? Haven't heard the Blades but when it comes to the little LS50 compared to the newer LS50 Meta... I felt like the Meta was just a bit different, not really any better or worse. Not sure how that translates to the Blade though. I like the idea post... | |
| Are the Anthony Gallo Reference 3.5 still up to it? I know someone who still rocks the Gallo 3.5 after all these years. He has switched up every other component probably 5-10 times over the years. All of it is wildly more expensive by now. But the Gallo 3.5 speakers stay anchored in the system, I d... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @denon1 So far I've got about 50 hours on my Argentum R but I do hear notable improvement compared to right out of the box. And most of that improvement actually does seem related to midrange being more palpable. Also I hear a more open sound, not... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs Haven't tried these exact players. But my experience with Marantz SA-series players had them sounding a little warm, sort of on the musical side, not dull but just a little toned down on the top end. Esoteric seemed much more lit up which is eithe... | |
| Problems with lost Qobus Playlists? Qobuz is my favorite for sound quality. But I don't love their interface or some of the quirks. I don't really make many playlists so haven't had this exact problem. But I've experienced other odd behavior on both a PC and on the phone app. Like ... | |
| Favorite mid-tier streamer Another vote for Eversolo. I thought it would be a compromise with all those features I didn't need or wouldn't use. After trying an A6 and later an A8 as transport only, I am sold on the brand. Even if I don't use most of the features. Innuos i... |
