| Best DACs under $7,000.00 I also subscribe to Stereophile and have not seen a review on the Audio GD R-7HE. Also, an R2R DAC cannot do DSD by itself. My Audio Holo May R2R DAC has a Separate built in DAC just for DSD processing. | |
| Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why .... Excellent sounding streaming can be achieved with your PC in the right circumstances. If using USB, make sure your DAC has a good USB implementation and has Galvanic isolation. I’m streaming through Roon and Tidal/Qobuz and upsampling PCM as High ... | |
| 5 Dumb Things Audiophiles Believes. I actually like Ron from NRD and have been watching him for a long time. I have yet to find ANY Audio Reviewer that I really like, and arrogance seems to be a COMMON TRAIT amongst all audiophiles, even in these forums. | |
| Triode Wire Labs Own 3 of their current model power cables. Good company! | |
| To ROON or not to ROON ? Roon by itself does nothing for sound quality versus streaming direct to say Qobuz or Tidal. If you have lots of music to organize it could be helpful. I use it to stream directly to HqPlayer so I can upsample everything to DSD. | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them I subscribe to Stereophile, I prefer them over TAS by far. | |
| $5K DAC OPTIONS The Rose is more than just a DAC as I'm sure you know. Are you looking for a combo box or just a DAC? The Holo Audio May KTE is very good and also popular. | |
| Looking for a streamer/DAC Rose RS250 if your limit is 5K and are looking for an all in one. | |
| Is this a audioquest cable counterfeit fake? This is one reason I like Triode wire labs cables. Each cable has a serial number. | |
| We Can Make Classic Cars Outperform Today's "SuperCars": Why Not Vintage Audio? Some things on vintage cars can’t be changed such as aerodynamics and built-in technology and safety devices. In my opinion it would never be worth it to spend crazy money to match performance of a modern supercar and in the end, it may be cheaper... | |
| Zavfino ARCADIA MK2 vs FUSION MK2 I have the Fusions but have never compared them to the ARCADIA. | |
| SQ difference XLR vs RCA ? Another factor, some equipment's XLR inputs/outputs are not really truly balanced. The XLR connections were just added for convenience. Unless absolutely necessary I would never use those and would go RCA in that circumstance. This is a question y... | |
| Streamer creates a Wow experience @p05129 Complete nonsense that USB is flawed! It’s quality is very dependent on the implementation. My Holo Audio MAY KTE DAC has Galvanic Isolation on the USB and I will tell you it sounds VERY GOOD! | |
| Looking for a preamp with XLR connections Consider an Holo Audio Serene KTE for around $3200. Outstanding measurements to satisfy ASR and extremely neutral. Parts and build quality are top notch! | |
| Your thoughts on selling I don't think this is a good idea. You're assuming MOST people are honest and will do the right thing. If you are willing to take the risks then I say fine, however it's not something I would do. |
