| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Your setup sounds more audiophile level than mine. I am leveraging the fact that analog noise cannot travel through fibre. I use the fibre just before the DAC and do not care about anything prior to the fibre. My ROON Core is running on a noisy DE... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I bought the "audiophile" LPS from Sonore for 1 of the OpticalRendu's and the cheaper LPS from them for the second one. I could not tell a difference between the 2. Sonore Audiophile Linear Power Supply and DC4X Cable – Small Green Computer SGC ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns You are going to love the opticalRendu with the 005. That is what I use, and it is something that I have zero desire to improve upon. It has been about a year now since I bought 2 opticalRendu's and it has been a great choice. My fibre comes ... | |
| Krell Vanguard Integrated @mofojo Congrats on the MF. I also got a can't lose trad-in price (100%) on a used Parasound A21+ to get the 175XD. I said yes please. Krell’s new iBias Duo 175XD – What’s New (TONE) | TONEAudio MAGAZINE (tonepublications.com) Just so ever... | |
| Do I really need a preamp with dac with volume control help It can be very expensive to get a preamp that sounds as good as no preamp at all. A Benchmark LA4/PA4 is one to try out for "wire with gain" ($2500 - $3K). I also have a CODA 07x preamp (which I use more, better feature match) but my LA4 is t... | |
| Krell Vanguard Integrated This has nothing to do with the OP's question. However, let me add that the KRELL Duo 175XD is amazing. I have the KRELL K-300i downstairs and I think it is great for an integrated. However, my new KRELL 175XD (100 hours) | Musetec 005 DAC | CODA ... | |
| Is an audio media transport really better than PC? What is the custom audio music server doing that a cheap PC is not? I think eliminate electrical and external noise as much as possible. Which is great. Let’s assume your PC is very powerful, because those are also cheap, but maybe a little noisy... | |
| From Topping D30 to ??? (XLR/Balanced) I have a Topping D90SE up for sale that has both RCA and XLR that work at the same time. You can also disable either one. Topping D90SE DAC Review - A New Benchmark (soundnews.net) I am now using the DAC in my integrated amp to lower the box cou... | |
| Sound System on $10K Budget This is one of the best integrated amps you can buy even at many times the MSRP price of $9500. Krell K-300i Integrated Stereo Amplifier For Sale - US Audio Mart I used to own the Meze Empy with Benchmark HPA4 headphone amp. I thought it was gre... | |

| Schiit Freya+(Plus) I hear no buzzing; I use the Freya+ with a headphone-based system so if I had some buzzing, I would hear it on the phones. I woke up around 3AM last night and heard some clicking sounds that seemed to originate from the Freya+. It had been turned... | |
| Five year plan: downsizing I bought 3 tuners in Oct 2021. I listen to all 3 almost every day since I got them. I have an incredible local station. That station broadcasts on HD radio and on the internet. They both sound like crap. My FM over the airwaves sounds much better ... | |
| Roon upgrade ROON has a few hiccups the last few months. I had a lot of disconnects prior to the most recent update. That seemed to have fixed the connection issue. Today, I left the system running while I went out for an hour and the ROON client reported a co... | |
| Comparisons from those who have heard… I heard the Yamaha M5000 with the top end Yamaha preamp and the great NS5000 speakers in the dumbest dealer demo room possible. I tried to ignore the room, but it was hard. However, I did think the speakers were likely great because i enjoyed them... | |
| Please recommend speakers I use a pair of KEF LS50 is an un-ideal "IKEA bookshelf". It is my kid’s playroom. It sounds really good given the placement issues. They sound even better on stands in a smaller room. I have very high ceilings, so you need to consider room volume... |
