| RAAL SR1a Headphone + RAAL HSA-1b Headphone amp Rush fans, listen to them on this combo. Wow, like seeing them live.In some other A'gon posts I was debating whether to get a Halo May KTE DAC and/or the AudioByte VOX | ZAP | HUB. The Halo mainly to tame harshness. After the DSP adjustment with t... | |
| Best Amp With Some Warmth and Midrange Magic To Pair With The RAAL Requsite SR1a's? RAAL HSA-1b. I do not think crossing the AMP INTERFACE and also speaker wire can beat a direct connection like the HSA-1b. I am listening to the HSA-1b as I type this. So in that vein, I would assume the Schitt J something punches above the weight... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Thanks guys. | |
| Is HD Radio okay compared with FM? It is awful in my experience. My radio station out of Santa Monica, KCRW broadcasts 2 signals and the HD one was not as good as FM. However, today with COVID the quality of the broadcasts are pretty crap, I think MP3 level, because the DJ's are no... | |

| Purifi Class D: Junk? I've been told by experienced audiophiles here and elsewhere that the default Hypex board is junk You also need to ask them about their last hearing test just so you have a proper baseline. There are some pretty good class D out there. My Peac... | |

| Levinson 585 and MQA I was at a demo with the guys from ROON | T+A | Wilson | MQA. They were showing off ROON and MQA amongst others. I forgot which part of the chain was doing the MQA (likely a separate DAC). I do not think ROON supported MQA those days. This system ... | |
| Review on the Rockna Audio Wavelight Pre/DAC just went up on Stereo Times Yes, I was researching this on Head-fi and someone posted the same as you. I going to get the Hyda stack after the HUB is released next month. | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? No this will not work for me because I have 2 (maybe 3 DACs) that will be hooked up at the same time. The microRendu will be hooked up to 1 and an RJ45 will be the input on the second DAC. For my situation something like the Denafrips Giaa maybe b... |
