| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns My issue is having too many boxes in the system. My son is already sitting on my office audio rack (with my blessing) and accidently kicking some of my streaming gear. @sirnui I also have the Benchmark DAC3B (owned the DAC3 HGC, the DAC2, D... | |
| Rogue RP-1 or Schiit Freya I was reading the review of the Topping pre90 on Stereophile ($599 preamp) and I saw that Stereophile will be reviewing the Freya+. I got the impression that the measurements of the Freya+ will be very good. @ejlif What tubes would you recommend... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns As I posted earlier, I put my EtherRegen in front of my OpticalRendu. I removed the Fibre connection from my Ubiquiti Network Switch and used the EtherRegen’s Fibre (so B > A on the ER). This setup was an improvement from direct Network Sw... | |
| How critical is streamer hardware to SQ when it feeds a good DAC? @sfseay Maybe there is a reason people post a certain way. I wish this site had an ignore feature to avoid weasel like post as yours. | |
| Paypal Restrictions and Withholding Funds If you do a lot of transactions PayPal starts to think you are a business and holds funds for a while. I had a buyer pay me by e-check into PayPal and all hell broke lose. PP though I was a business and I had a lot of sales and purchase of audio g... | |
| Coda CB vs 2016 07X Congrats on the CB. Going separates is better than the integrated. I have the CODA 07x and #8 now and had the CSiB (from 2019) before. Let's hear your impressions of the CB once you have the gear broken in. Last night, I moved my Schitt Freya+ of... | |
| Rogue RP-1 or Schiit Freya I am listening to the following budget system in a big room as I type this, and I recommend you do a home demo of the Freya+ just to save money. - KEF LS50 + KEF KC62 sub - Schitt Freya+ - Benchmark DAC3B - Benchmark AHB2 - Fibre optical stre... | |
| Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all? I got a RAD electric bike to take my son to school. He sits in the back and I peddle the total of 325lbs. In the 5 months, we have been doing this we have done 1600 miles and I have gained a ton of fitness. I highly recommend these new electric bi... | |
| Wywires Silver to Platinum interconnects. How big an upgrade would that be ? Anybody compare the WyWire Platinum or Diamond speaker cables to anything else. I have Audience and WyWire RCA + XLR interconnects on 2 systems. I am trying to decide between getting a second Audience FrontRow speaker cable (using with a CODA #8 a... | |
| Coda CB vs 2016 07X I would like to try a 07x or a higher end tube preamp for a bit more warmth, but I’m also considering a change to less bright speakers instead to get the same effect while maintaining the crystal clear transparency of the LA4. I had the LA4 and... | |
| Coda CB vs 2016 07X I am using a tube preamp some days with the office setup. At the moment the CODA #8 is my headphone amp. In a week or 2, I will change it up so that the CODA #8 becomes my speaker amp and my KRELL 175XD is my headphone amp. I rotate these amps eve... | |
| KEF Blade 2 What is the META treatment? Last year the LS50's were upgraded with a new driver tech called META. This tech was going to be moved UP the lineup to the Reference and Blades. The only question is when this will happen since KEF announced they pl... | |
| Coda CB vs 2016 07X The Freya+ is OK with the CODA #8. I forgot if this applies to the CODA#8 but with the KRELL Duo 175XD the Freya+ does not go silent when the volume is turned all the way down. I had the same thing happen with my Topping pre90 (Stereophile review ... | |
| Speakers for daughter KEF LS50 wireless. One set of speakers with built-in amplification. Another option is used KEF LS50 passive ($600 - $800) with a PeachTree NOVA 150 or 300. The NOVA 300 is on sale now for $1500. I had the NOVA 150 with my passive LS50s. Pretty goo... |
