| DACs With Killer Built-In Preamps How about a killer preamp with built-in killer DAC and other nice things like biamping, subwoofer crossover, room correction, etc.? The Classé CP-800. | |
| Anthem 225 integrated: Anyone knows anything ? I own an Anthem 225 for about two years now and I'm pleased with it. As Frazeur1 says, very neutral and doesn't call attention to itself. | |
| Breakout DAC for 2013? Cheap meaning inexpensive (relatively, of course). | |
| Breakout DAC for 2013? Yet another cheap new DAC is the new HRT Music Streamer HD. Alan Sircom goes gaga over it in the latest Hi-Fi+, saying that "correctly fettled," meaning with something like Elijah Audio's BPM connector to a KingRex U Power battery power supply, it... | |
| Levinson 326s or McIntosh C200 ? I agree with Hk_fan. The 326S is a classic, as in one of the top preamps ever, IMHO. | |
| Breakout DAC for 2013? I disagree with Elizabeth. With the continuous development of computer audio, and HD and DSD downloads slowly but surely replacing CDs and SACDs, there have been advances in DAC quality, features and price lately: 24/192 and DSD capability, asynch... | |
| Breakout DAC for 2013? Another new one to watch is the South Korean SOtM SDP-1000 with built-in battery supply and super clock. Check the 6moons review of the SOtM separates. | |
| Isolation Platform for my Sota Cosmos? How about just replacing the factory feet with Stillpoints Ultra SS or Ultra 5? | |
| Question: Does ATC have the best midrange driver? What is most important is that for many years ATC's SM75-150 midrange driver was considered the best and it was ahead of its time. There are many good midrange drivers nowadays, but the fact that ProAc chose it for its expensive Carbon series says... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Abletec? Pascal? Isn't the OP reflecting about the sound re the great 6moons review? How about the biggest bang for your buck? | |
| Wyred 4 Sound STP SE and ST-1000 Yes, I know the STP-SE preamp is as good as any out there; it's sad some people will pass them by because not expensive enough! | |
| Is the ''entry level'' DAC becoming extinct ? Computer Audiophile is reviewing the new pocket-size Meridian Explorer DAC with asynchronous USB, audiophile-quality capacitors, 24-bit/384kHz, customization via firmware, detachable USB cable, etc., for $299! | |
| Is the ''entry level'' DAC becoming extinct ? On the other hand, giant-killer DACs like the Micromega MyDAC and tiny, portable ones like the Audioquest Dragonfly keep appearing. | |
| Computer/DAC combo sugestions Sgr, I expect the Zuma to be better sounding than the CAPS 2, the previous CA design because of better isolated USB, cleaner power supply and especially because of battery power. Chris Connaker and others have said that CAPS 2 was better than Mac ... | |
| Computer/DAC combo sugestions Sorry, I pressed the wrong key ... over straight USB, S/PDIF or Firewire connection. You can build your own computer on the cheap (I have done it for years) and have a totally silent, fanless one dedicated exclusively to audio and thus stripped do... |
