| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @audioguy85 I’m not on here all that much anyhow. That was post 1881 since 2018. That’s a lot of contributing to this forum, but you do seem a bit frustrated. Personally, I don’t expect much and my expectations are usually exceeded. I agree ... | |
| Can you have too much speaker presence? @soix Ops system is on his/her profile. Already has pretty impressive speakers. | |
| Help this old rookie with speakers I see this is your first post…welcome! It would be helpful if you would provide a budget and post your system with a photo and size of the room on your profile. You can click on a members handle to see their profile. It would also be helpful to... | |
| Your experiences with system synergy @bluethinker Please post your system and room on your profile. This might be useful to others given that what your post seems to say is that your system in your room sounds great to you. In other words, your components play nicely with each ot... | |
| Can you have too much speaker presence? Will the dealer allow you to take both the smaller and the larger speakers home and judge for yourself? Your current speakers must be a pretty high hurdle for any speaker to surpass. | |
| External DAC? Are you wanting some improvement in the sound, or are you trying to maximize your system’s performance? Do you have a set budget? If you are trying to maximize your system, then please let us know what components you are using. Generally, addin... | |
| USB CD Transports +1 ghdprentice My Aurender reads from SSD, or from stream and caches data. All data is played from cache and the design minimizes internal noise. My ripped files sound great. At least they sound great if the recording engineers and musicians did ... | |
| USB CD Transports @grigory Looks like your first post. Welcome. What does your system consist of? Why not just rip your CDs to SSD? | |
| DAC UPGRADE QUESTION I really don’t know much about your setup in that I haven’t heard any of the components, but based on price, your speakers and power amplifier seems to be at a higher price point than your streamer, or DAC and that it will take way more than $3000... | |
| It this a decent Phono setup? Yes, decent… | |
| Luxman L-509Z Integrated Amplifier Ask Japanese dealers. | |
| Lumin U2 vs Aurender N200 @milo0812 Have you heard the N200 + DAC2 vs A200? If you have an A200 and want to improve upon what you have, what do you buy and what do you dispose of? If you have a N200, you can easily upgrade the DAC. Of course you can just not use the i... | |
| Lumin U2 vs Aurender N200 However I will say that the post by lalitk mentioning the questionable thought process of OP wanting to upgrade his streamer but staying with the McIntosh dac is something worth paying attention to. Of course, but staying with it as an interim ... | |
| Lumin U2 vs Aurender N200 I purchased the MA12000 because the Sabrina X has a 2.6 ohm dip at 135Hz, but with a bit easier to drive speaker, I would expect our integrated amps to sound much the same and these guys really praised the DAC2, so leave upgrading the DAC for the ... | |
| Lumin U2 vs Aurender N200 @lalitk @john1629 Regarding the McIntosh DAC2. Mine malfunctioned and I really didn’t go back once I got it repaired. I moved to the Aurender and Holo May DAC KTE during the long down time of my DAC2 and the combination Aurender/May DAC were... |
