| Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’) KEF Blades would be my first choice in a big space. | |
| Best light weight full range speaker recommendation. Kef Blade2 (77 lbs) | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @dbb I will have to do some more listening to comment. My room is not ideal (too small but dialed in sound) so I think I lose out on things like depth preception. The soundstage does extend outside the speakers on stuff that is recorded that way. ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I plan on using the USB input on the 005 since I like my OpticalRendu for streaming. Since I now only have 1 DAC in the office system I have been listening to the $900 Topping D90SE DAC with my CODA preamp and amp (slightly warm gear). I really l... | |
| Advice needed re: new CD player purchase I would keep my eye on this link for CD players. CD Players & CD Transports Used and New Classifieds : Buy, Sell and Trade in America - US Audio Mart BTW - I am listening to a 20 year old Sony SCD-1 SACD/CD as I type this playing CD of Sa... | |
| A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do? @prof I think I just learned something important from you. | |
| "warm" solid state integrated amplifier KRELL K-300i - very smooth (first 90 watts Class A), powerful bass, non-fatiguing. I also have the internnal DAC for streaming. It does not run that warm. In terms of features and sound I think it is really unmatched at the price. Check out the r... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I would have thoughtt the I2S input would have a closer signal path to the DAC and thus the best input. I plan on using USB myself from an Sonore OpticalRendu. | |
| To DAC or not to DAC ? @cheeg I sold the Gustard X26 Pro last week. I really liked it but wanted to try the Musetec 005 which I ordered yesterday (on sale). The only thing the Gustard lacked was uber levels of detail as my Topping D90SE and Benchamrk DAC3B. Not eveyon... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @metaldetektor It cost me $115 to send back a DAC to China by USPS. I was getting a replacement unit under warranty. It was with shenzhenaudio.com | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @mboldda1 I was planning on waiting a few months to get this but it was on sale today. L.K.S Audio MH-DA005 ES9038 Pro x 2 DAC Coaxial OPT AES EBU Flagship (shenzhenaudio.com) | |
| To DAC or not to DAC ? @fullers If you are also considering preamps that have no sound to them, the Topping pre90 ($600) sounds like the Benchmark LA4 ($2600). Both are like wore with gain and do not seem to add to the sound. They measure the same and sound the same. Ho... | |
| To DAC or not to DAC ? Here are 2 DACs that will make a significant difference in the price range. 1) Topping D90SE. Maybe the best mesauring DAC and it sounds so clean and detailed. I love this DAC with my warm CODA amp. It costs $900 new. This one uses the ESS chip w... | |
| Smallish room speakers I have had my LS50’s for the last 9 years. I can see another decade of use. They work best in the smaller rooms and having room correction is ideal to fix those first reflections. Accoustic panels also the trick for the LS50’s in a small room. I ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I sold my Gustard X26 Pro and got the 005 just now ($2969 today). Just for curisoity sake. I liked the Gustard a lot. It lacked a bit of detail that my Topping D90SE and Benchmark DAC3B have but it had a lot of other things going for it. I will be... |
