| Happy Birthday Bob Marley I am listening to the KCRW.com tribute to Bob Marley and it was fun to hear John Lennon talk about one of Marley compositions. It sounded like he was in a studio with some other musicians. Lennon was in awe. | |
| Looking for small active STEREO speakers I can throw in a carry on bag and travel with If you have space to the front wall the Audience 1 + 1 is good (owned it). There is a Magnaoan desktop speaker that is also good and needs similar space up front. The Audioengine A2+ is not that great but easy to move. I have this in the house bu... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Thanks for the responses. I am very happy with the USB input that I am using. I was just curious about the direct toslink I am that I am using from my computer that could be improved with a GAIA. That would also give me the option of hearing AES ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I was wondering if the Denafrips DDC GAIA would work via I2S on the Musetec 005. I have great connectivity right now with my Sonore Optical Rendu and the EtherRegen via USB. However, I have a computer that is also going direct into my 005 via Tosl... | |
| Computer to DAC with no USB Do you not have a sound card on your computer with a optical output. I connected my Benchmark DAC3B to my computer this way. This is not the ideal way to listen to music, but OK for watching my hockey and baseball games via the computer. For musi... | |

| Schiit Freya plus preamp , very impressive preamps? I was reading on a Sterophile comments section that the Freya+ will be reviewed by the mag. I think the reviewer hinted that the Freya+ measured well. I use the Freya+ with a Benchmark AHB2 and this combo has grown on me. I am going to keep the F... | |
| Valhalla2 vs Freya+ as a preamp Price is not always indicative of quality. Topping Pre90 line preamplifier | Stereophile.com BTW - I owned the Topping pre90 preamp for a while, along with my current Benchmark LA4, CODA 07x, and Schitt Freya+ | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui A FYI, another company that had an excellent implementation of the ESS chip was Resonessence Labs INVICTA Mirus Pro review | Darko.Audio They are no longer in business as the CEO retired. The principles used to work at ESS and knew the DAC bette... | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui GTT Audio out of NJ is the Mola Mola distributer. When I was looking to get the Tambaqui I was offered a home demo by them but I never took it because I changed my mind due to cost. They still may offer that. The USA Musetec 005 dealer should con... | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui @dbb The Benchmark HPA4/LA4 preamps (I had both) are amazing to hear OTHER gear. It usually is something else at fault if the sound is problematic. | |
| Emm Labs DV2 versus Tambaqui I think most are not aware that Bruno made the design for the Tambaqui around 2006. Of course, he is no longer part of Mola Mola. They first put this DAC design in the Makua preamp and then the standalone Tambaqui. At one time, I was really inter... | |
| Have you upgraded from a Freya? I have the CODA #8 and also LS50’s. I have the Freya+ with the Benchmark AHB2 amp and KEF LS50 + KC62 sub. I mainly use the tube setting and have grown fond of this pairing. The CODA #8 sounds incredible with the Benchmark LA4 preamp. Each wee... | |
| Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP in Cincinnati has signed off :-( Loved the show and have the DVDs of the old episodes somewhere. Did anyone realize that Les Nesman always had a bandage somewhere. It seems he did that to make himself look tough or macho. My favorite episode is when Les is reading the sport... | |
| Your method for discovering great music. KCRW.com from Santa Monica CA. Though I listen via FM. My TIDAL and Qobuz library has grown a lot when I hear music on KCRW. The newish TIDAL deep dive playlists are also something I like to discover old music/ |
