| What was the most impactful addition to your system? Lucas Audio LDMS Music server. It took my Lampi Pacific and increased my overall SQ by a lot. | |
| Which Streamer is a Major Upgrade over PS Audio Bridge II in a DSD DAC Lumin X-1. End of story. | |
| Townshend Pods - How many do I actually need per component for max effectiveness? @drack1 4 for Lucas Audio LDMS music server 4 Lampizator Pacific DAC 8 for my Canary Audio Grand Reference 300B mono amps I sold my Preamp and do not need one. | |
| Townshend Pods - How many do I actually need per component for max effectiveness? I just ordered 16 today . | |
| Is it me? Will I ever be satisfied? It will never end if you enjoy music. You will be sucked in like the rest of us until you die. No matter how good it sounds you will always ask, can it be better? Enjoy the journey! | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses @joelberger1 I would but you may want to ask Lampi NA. | |
| Tried just my DAC as Preamp and started something. I have a higher-cost system that includes 300B mono amps, Pre, Lampizator Pacific and Lucas Audio Music server. Many of the Lampi people told me I should try running the Lampi direct to my amps. I finally did about 3 months ago. The results wer... | |
| Tax Returns: Nothing, a new DAC or... ? You have a decent DAC already. The Manhattan and Bricasti are not worth the investment from what you have. Pay off the credit cards then save for an even better DAC. You can get a Lumin X-1 used for around 8k. Or even consider one of the Lamp... | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... I recently was doing an A/B comparison on Preamps. One was $50k and the other $20k. The difference was so minute that I said even though the $50k was ever so slightly better, it would not warrant me to want to buy it. On the other hand, I did t... | |
| High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260 I would think Synergistic Research would be interested in the Q45 product to sell with all of their other tweaks. | |
| Best streamer/DAC for up to $1500 @cakyol I am really sorry to say that a budget of $1.5k won't get you much in sound quality. So in reality just go with your Cambridge and then save your money to go up the line. I started with a Lumin D-2. Then went to the Lumin A-1 and thei... | |
| Praise for Dave of the Audiodoctor and Audio intellect I have purchased 4 Lumin DAC's from Dave and multiple cables and I live in Arizona. Dave has always been a gentleman and has provided me a lot of sage wisdom over the last 7 years. Both of us have gone through some extreme medical issues at the ... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread @macdude ---once you try SR purple please report your findings. I appreciate your honest personal feedback. | |
| NAS/Streamer or server/player? I have experience in both. I had a 4tb Synology NAS tied to a Lumin D-2, then A-1 and then X-1. From a system perspective, I had my files and tidal and Qobuz so I was happy with the sound and performance. It was a real nice system. Then my w... | |
| Streamer/DAC I had the Lumin D-2, A-1, U-1 mini (transport) and the flagship X-1. Each step up was worth the money in SQ. I love Lumin. I had a Synology NAS connected to it with Tidal, Qobuz, MQA and Roon. It is a very easy app to use. You can find them o... |
