| New Product - Schiit Byggy DAC Details I should add that I have the MIB | RAAL SR1a earphones | RAAL VM-1a tube headphone amp in the bedroom. The slightly warmer MIB maybe a touch better than the OG in this setup. However, the reason is that SR1a (my fav phones by a mile) are slightly ... | |
| New Product - Schiit Byggy DAC Details I am in the queue for the Byggi, cost is $1500 from my Yggi+ MIB DAC. I have the very last Yggi+ OG ever made. Interestingly, I bought it after speaking with a guy at the SchittR (via phone) and he said it is not even close as to which was his fa... | |
| What to upgrade from a Kef ls50 meta? I went from the LS50 Meta + KEF KC62 sub (a superb combo) to the Magnepan LRS+. The Maggies were a more fun to listen to with the wall of sound effect. The clarity and detail of the LRS+ is slightly below the level of the LS50 Meta. I then had to... | |
| Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables In my Magnepan Mini office system, I need 2 sets of speaker cables. One set from the amp (stereo) to the bass module. Then another set from the bass module to the tweeter + mid satellite panels. I used cheap (but well regarded) cables on both set... | |
| What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase? @steve59 A shame that you have to let them go. For any interested buyers. This is a great speaker and my end game speaker which I also own. | |
| Mono blocks for Revel Salon 1’s recommendation? @mark200mph I drive mine with amp rolling of michi m8,mcintosh 1.25,bryston 28b3 Can you describe the differences between these 3 amps on your Salon1. | |
| What does your DAC sound like I wanted to buy the Playback Designs Dream ($24k). I even purchased the PlayBack Designs STREM-IF for $3k which streams into the Dream via PLINK. However, I bought a Schitt Yggi+ OG DAC until I raised the cash. After a 30-day burn in, I thought I... | |
| Preamp for Luxman M-10X other than C-10x If you want a detailed preamp that is slightly warm, then the Holo Audio Serene would work nicely with the Luxman M-10. I have owned the Serene and have heard the M-10. The M-10 is similar to my CODA #16, and I used it with the Serene for a few ye... | |
| Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers. "Wait until you see the prices when magnets can’t be sourced." Just found out that my fav headphone manufacturer put a hold on building at least 1 phone because of the Chinese governments' restrictions of raw metals exports. In this case, magnets. | |
| Mono blocks for Revel Salon 1’s recommendation? I had the Revel Salons 1's for 5 years and used Bryston 7B-SST monos with them. Not a great combo on top but I had a lot of good times with that setup. However, if I had the Salon 1 today and wanted mono blocks I would wait for the Schitt Audio r... | |
| Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals My speaker is like a Beryllium based speaker, the Yamaha NS5000 (the child of the Be Original Gangster, so to speak). It uses Zylon for the drivers, and it is as detailed as Be. After hearing the 761 I wanted to get it to pair it with the NS5000,... | |
| Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals Do the Focal's have Beryllium tweeters? I have heard the 761 with Paradigm Persona 9H (791 was preamp and DAC)..It was a bit fatiguing to me. | |
| Integrated that blew you away The Krell K300i (latest XD version) was a fav of mine. Both sonically and for the rock solid feature set for a 2-channel setup. The optional DAC is not shabby but can be easily improved upon with an external DAC. | |
| Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community Glad I did not spend the 2.5 hours driving the 100 miles to the show. That show used to be great. |
