| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @fl_guy I only have a few hours on the Freya+ with the stock tubes. I have not had a tube preamp before, so this is a little new to me. As I posted above, the Freya+ allowed me to use the RAAL SR1a with the Benchmark AHB2 and it sounds different ... | |
| Freya+ Owners - Help Needed I needed a preamp for my bedroom system that was going to be used with the RAAL SR1a headphones. I have 3 preamps in the house. - Topping pre90 (sold it a few minutes ago) - Benchmark LA4 - CODA 07x The CODA was the only one that could tame th... | |

| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Musetec saves the day. A post I made on the bedroom SR1a headphone system (or 2 channel for my ears). Raal Ribbon Headphones - SRH1A | Page 316 | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org Yesterday, I called Shenzehn (sp?) about getting the... | |

| Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy The CODA #8 is an excellent amp. Only reason I would sell it is to get the CODA #16 which is a bit better. The CODA drives my Thiel CS3.7 great. It can go down to 2 Ohms, though I forgot the numbers. I actually move my CODA #8 around rather frequ... | |
| Pontus vs Gustard? @pinwa Thanks for the Pontus II and Gustard X26 comparison. You answered exactly what I wanted to know. I sold my Gustard X26 Pro but may get it back and sell my Benchmark DAC3B because I will be going into a very hot speaker. I am going to put a ... | |
| Need help choosing a new DAC A warm low-ish cost DAC is the Gustard X26 Pro. I owned it for a while and loved it. I also owned the AudioMirror (top model). It was pretty good but I preferred the Gustard for my warm DAC types. I currently own the Benchmark DAC3B. It just doe... | |

| Changes in DAC Presentation - Need Advice I was also only using my MacMini for CORE. My issue was not sound quality. It was that ROON would have performance issues on the Mac. It would crash, stop playing, the MacMini would update the OS and then not reboot. I had to restore this machine ... | |
| Changes in DAC Presentation - Need Advice My MacMini (and all MACs I have had) are awful. I had to buy a cheapo DELL to move my ROON CORE off the Mini. Just too many problems. I do not know how people put up with all the issues I see on Macs. Recently ROON had some hiccups for me. I did... | |
| What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey? @ticat Originally from Toronto and went to MAC for University. I was hoping the Ticats won the Grey Cup this year. I am near Los Angeles now. | |
| To extend Ethernet to remote location, are Powerline extenders or Mesh systems better? I am not sure about the implementation details of ROON Core but if I were to write the streaming engine for it, I would not be writing anything to disk. I would be writing to super-fast RAM for TIDAL or Qobuz and for streaming from disk-based FLAC... | |
| What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey? @ticat if you liked CFNY from the early days check out KCRW from Santa Monica. "The Spirit of Radio" is a song released in 1980 by the Canadian rock band Rush from their album Permanent Waves. The song's name was inspired by Toronto radio stati... |
