| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @kren0006 Regarding the Weiss - It is incredibly resolving. One of the most detailed DACs I have heard. I would guess that it is more detailed than the M1 SE, not sure how it will compare to the Rockna Wavedream Signature SE which is the most d... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @dankef I have never heard a Sonnet product. I have no idea how it performs. I would start your own thread asking that question as the best chance to get a good answer from someone who is familiar with it. | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @bigkidz Yep. JC, NJ. This weekend is quite busy with family stuff but will be in touch. | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @treebeard I would do my best to get as far back as you can. Can you maybe use the adjustable studs to compensate for different depth with carpet or are you using spikes? If you are using spikes, I get the limitations completely. | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend My Weiss comparison is going to be delayed. Another customer requested a demo and the DAC is on its way to them. Should be back next week | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @treebeard1 - I took a look at your room. It is a very nice setup. It looks like you are trying to maintain an equilateral triangle. I have only a little experience with Tektons. I have a customer I am working with who has the Ulfbehrts. I am... | |
| Rank the top reference DACs you've heard I would also add Rockna Wavedream Signature and particularly the with the Wavedream NET Server.Weiss 501/502 belong on any list of top DACs and it should rank higher if you need it for headphone use along with tons of features and a built in rende... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @rja I have listened to the M1 SE and M3 via a renderer plugged into the USB. I also listened to the M1 SE via USB and the Ethernet. In the end, I think it very much depends on your musical tastes and how much precision matters. Via the USB the... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend No swapping of cards. For the two units during the testing, I strictly used the 2Go/2Yu as the input. I did test the M1 SE separately with the two inputs and found I like Ethernet slightly better. Theoretically the network card could be much be... | |
| Class A amps Kurumuka gave a great explanation. Class A and AB can be both balanced and single ended. Both are push pull and can be tube or ss. There are some Class A SETs - single ended triode or single ended transistors where the +/- is handled by one tub... | |
| More Roon Questions Okay, Roon and any digital system requires three parts. A server, a renderer player and DAC. Any device that is "roon ready" is a renderer player. Additionally, your Lyngdorf has a DAC. You only need a server.The benefit of a Server is that it ... | |
| Building a new system…looking for thoughtful recommendations Check out the AVM PA 5.2. It has an optional DAC Card and Phono stage that can be included. The DAC is good. The Phono stage is very good. This has a tube stage and is a first rate unit. It is fully balanced, has a variable output to increase matc... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend yyzsantabarbara - all of the DACs tested produced what sounded like a clear bass line. It was only in comparison that I realized that it could be better than what I was hearing.I am not saying that either your Gustard or Benchmark can't do this. ... | |
| Rank the top reference DACs you've heard MSB - I have spent time with the reference and it is insanely good. I have never heard the select, but I can imagine how incredible it is. Playback Design DreamDAC - everything is upscale to to 512k DSD. Not only is it smooth and detailed, it is ... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @treebeard1 - I have never heard the DSD Jr. I had the DSD which is definitely competitive with this range. I sold that DAC about 15 months ago so I am going on distant memory. The DSD sounded pretty big to me and extended well beyond the bound... |
