| SQ difference XLR vs RCA ? I can only speak for my experience. I have a Denafrips stack DAC, Pre-Amp, and amplifier that are all true balanced designs throughout.....I have Morrow Audio MA4 RCA and XLR cables.....same cables, different connections. My Denafrips Thallo ampl... | |
| Am I Better Off With Limited Low Frequency Speaker In A Small Room? If that were my room, I'd certainly go with a great pair of bookshelf speakers.....and if you find later you need more bass, then you can add a small sub. My first thought would be to find speakers that are comfortable being placed nearer the the ... | |
| What Digital to Digital Converter Do You Use? Why? I purchased the Denafrips Iris DDC (installing later this week), but I will be outputting to a Denafrips Pontus II DAC.....which has configurable I2S inputs as well. If you're considering the Iris to the Holo Audio, I'd reach out to Alvin Chee of ... | |
| Help fine-tune my speaker search Philharmonic BMRs or Buchardt Audio S400 Mk II, I ended up buying the Buchardts….and am more than satisfied, but the BMRs were truly excellent speakers You didn’t mention price cap (or I missed it), but the KEF LS60s are getting rave reviews and ... | |
| Speakers need to be placed close to back wall. Help If you do go the Buchardt speaker and amp route, make sure to buy the speakers first.....before the i150 amp. If you do that, then the i150 is 2,000 Euros instead of 2,500 Euros.....customer loyalty discount | |
| Has Anyone Compared the DAC On a Bluesound NODE 3rd Gen to a Separate DAC? Singere, Denafrips products in the US are only sold by Vinshine Audio, and their amazing owner Alvin Chee. He and Vinshine are based in Singapore, and their US repair center is Tech Specialists in Buda, Texas. All Denafrips products sold by Vins... | |
| A rookie with 10K, seeking advise llid2, lot's if different recommendations here, here's another for $10K Keep the Denafrips DAC, it's not a limiting factor for you. Bluesound Node latest model 130 I think) is a good streamer as long as bypass the internal DAC and go to the Term... | |
| Need recommendations for a streamer Since you have the Terminator Plus, I’d certainly talk to Alvin Chee at Vinshine…..pretty sure he’d recommend a Denafrips DDC. As long as you bypass the internal DAC, you might be satisfied with the new Node (130). I am with a Pontus II, though I ... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? Gladmo, Exact same boat here, the Pontus offers a sound signature that is near perfect to my ears. I talked to Alvin, and he suggested the Iris DDC would take the Pontus to a new level…..and he mention that some are finding the Pontus plus DDC pr... | |
| Musician pegasus DAC or Denafrips Aries 2 Alvin at Vinshine hinted at such. I've got a complete Denafrips stack; Pontus II DAC, Hades Pre-Amp, and Thallo amplifier......all connected via Morrow Audio MA4 XLR cables that I LOVE, but he thought this might take it to the next level. Will rep... | |
| Musician pegasus DAC or Denafrips Aries 2 Soix, I understand, I too own a Pontus II instead of the Terminator Plus or the Holo Audio May DAC Kitsune edition, in large part because I am a "bang for the buck" guy, without unlimited resources. Funny you should mention the DDC with Pontus I... | |
| Musician pegasus DAC or Denafrips Aries 2 Soix, the reviewer you mentioned only states "This is exactly where Musician didn’t spare a dime and put the highest grade 0.005% precision resistors, the same ones you will find in the flagship Denafrips Terminator (~$4500) and Venus DACs (~$300... | |
| Has Anyone Compared the DAC On a Bluesound NODE 3rd Gen to a Separate DAC? Bobbyloans, Yes the Burr Brown PCM 5242 32 bit / 384 kHz DAC chipset in the Node does leave a lot to be desired. Dual Mono, R2R dual ladder, and FPGA DACs will greatly improve on the Node DAC | |
| Denafrips Pontus II vs Venus II Stevebohnii, I haven't connected the Iris DDC yet. I've got two cables that I'm still breaking in: Audioquest Vodka 48 8K and a Supra 2.1 8K cables, and then I'll start testing them between the Iris and Pontus II. I have read nothing but positiv... | |
| Has Anyone Compared the DAC On a Bluesound NODE 3rd Gen to a Separate DAC? Tcotruvo, I have the 3rd generation node, and did A/B testing with my Denafrips Ponuts II DAC......absolutely no comparison; the Denafrips improves the sound on every single measurable I can think of. Also though the Denafrips Pontus II ($1,825 U... |
