I did a side-by-side comparison with my Benchmark DAC3B on the same system, both Delta-Sigma DACs. It was very close though I thought the DAC3B was still a little bit better. I do not remember... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @erik_squires When it comes to Convoluton filters what I have now was created by a rock star in the field, not by some random DIY’er who thinks they are an expert after tinkering around. This was done by a professional audio engineer doing this fo... | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? @diamonddupree I should be happy with the sound I am getting from a single AHB2 now. However, if I was that type of person I would not be hanging around A'gon.I have great synergy with my all Benchmark system now. Adding that second AHB2 will just... | |

| An audio rack that really does make a difference. I also recently got a customized Timbernation rack. It looks good, is sturdy, and does what I need. However, I do not think it is really meant for vibration isolation. Something I really have no desire to spend money on. I have a SACD player. DAC,... | |
| Looking For Best Headphones Best place to learn about headphones is head-fi.comI think the main thing to figure out is what headphones do not give you fatigue. Then how much to spend to on those non-fatiguing headphones. I hated my prior Senn 600 headphones because of fatigu... | |

| Beginning of a new journey... The Empy in stock form is laid back and not ideal for me. Adding the WyWire Platinum XLR cable was what made the sound much more detailed and really perfect for my headphone needs. Since I have a toddler that goes to sleep relatively early the hea... | |

| Thiel Owners I have a CODA dealer 100km from me (so very close). They also said they allow home demos of their gear. I may have a listen once COVID is taken down. The thing that intrigues me on the #16 over the #8 is not the Class A, it is the SNR of 130 vs 11... | |
