| Luxman m-900u owners - quick question I went to an audio store to audition the 509x and I liked it. I was about to go home when the dealer said have a listen to the m900u/c900u. I had about 15 minutes to do this other wise I would get stuck in LA traffic for hours.Big mistake. The m90... | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs I did not get the Topping D90 DAC I got the Topping A90 headphone amp and the Matrix Audio Mini-i 3 Pro DAC which is in the same price range as the Topping D90 DAC. It would have made sense to go Topping D90 and A90 stack but my research indicated... | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? I spent $900 for all my GIK acoustic panels. I also spent another $1000 to implement software DSP via professionally crafted Convolution files running on ROON. I am mostly digital streaming so these 2 treatments get me to my destination. I am done. | |
| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs I had some big plans with this thread's initial question.I ended up with 2 2-channel systems and 2 headphone systems and did not need the dual XLR outputs from a single preamp. I decided to use headphones in the same room as my big speakers. So no... | |
| Benchmark LA4 Preamp? Thanks Tammy for bringing this thread back.@noble100 You are right that I am not getting much work done. That is OK for now since I am on a quiet period work wise. The music sounds so good now that I spend a lot of time being distracted by music i... | |
| Roon - 10 Things You Don't Know Excellent video. I use Convolution files for my 2 channel. I am now going to figure out how to setup Convolution for my 2 headphones. Thanks for that tip. | |
| Benchmark LA4 Preamp? @arafiq The AMT designer, Vlad, told me the same today. Minimum of 50 hours. However, I see others saying 100-150 for some caps that my unit has. This DAC will used mostly with the RAAL SR1a headphones and the CODA CSiB. I think it will be amazin... | |
| Benchmark LA4 Preamp? It looks like I blabbered a lot on this thread. So here is one more:I have some incredible sound in my office now. It is a small room with a big Thiel CS3.7 speaker. The system is composed of the following:1) Benchmark DAC3B (connected to XLR1 on ... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui or Denafrips Terminator Plus? @robert1976 The Tambaqui algorithm or design was conceived by Bruno in 2006 (approx). I read an interview he gave on ASR web site on this. The Tambaqui was given a good rating on that site and he participated in the discussion to promote it. The D... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui or Denafrips Terminator Plus? It is @robert1976 that has the Momentum Integrated. I do not have it but I was in the same room as Dan A when he demoed the Momentum line a few years back. Sounded pretty good but I do not like the looks of the line.I have the CODA CSiB and it is ... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui or Denafrips Terminator Plus? I was considering both of those DACs but I decided on the Romanian AudioByte VOX | ZAP | HUB because I think the tech on that is incredible. The HUB is not available yet but expected to be shipping in March. This is an FPGA based DAC.The AudioByte... | |
| Matrix Mini -i 3 Streamer/Dac is now Roon ready!! My view on streaming is that the best way to do that is with Fibre Optic cable (not referring to Toslink). The improvement with Fibre over the microRendu to usb was massive. On my best setup, I have 2 DACs and both use a Sonore OpticalRendu with a... |
