| Headphone amp + DAC + Volume + ROON READY I was thinking about your Mytek Brooklyn Bridge suggestion and it was starting to make more sense to. The fact that it is a neutral sounding DAC would work best with the warm sounding Empy. It is also a 1 box solution. | |
| Headphone amp + DAC + Volume + ROON READY Yes, that was another one I saw last night but did not post. Only concern on that one is that the DAC may sound very similar to the Benchmark DAC3B that I have (and like a lot).The dealer that sold me the headphones suggested that I look into the ... | |
| Headphone amp + DAC + Volume + ROON READY This one also seems interesting with the plug in ROON READY WIFI module. https://www.moon-audio.com/chord-mojo-dac-headphone-amp.html?sku=mojo_dac&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlN32BRCCARIsADZ-J4tE2Z9dayMroaRf9lobxpfYRentAriVxiS2rg43ijkBfyEea7EzvdgaAgmhEALw_... | |
| Headphone amp + DAC + Volume + ROON READY https://www.schiit.com/products/jotunheim and a Sonore microRendu maybe a cost effect choice.Anyone have this amp or compared with the Benchmark DAC2 or DAC3 with volume? | |
| Headphone amp + DAC + Volume + ROON READY This is 3 units but only 1 power supply to the wall. Not cheap, $6K, nor really that small (a little tall when stacked). https://www.11stereo.com/product-page/audiobyte-hydra-vox-dac Does not have the XLR headphone output but not a deal breaker. T... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers for Large Room The Yamaha NS 5000 are called bookshelf speakers. However, even though they are large they have a piano grand finish (think Yamaha pianos) which you wife may appreciate. The sound is reference caliber.Your room would be perfect for these speakers.... | |
| Unbelievable The NS 5000 are some of the best speakers I have heard up to $60K. The speakers that were even more expensive just played better in really large rooms. The NS 5000 is well worth a listen. If you are in the USA you can get a 2 month home trial from... | |
| streaming with benchmark2-dx DAC - problem - no signal to preamp Is your iPad scenario something that Benchmark says is supported? The issue sounds like whether the default USB iOS driver that needs to be compatible with the Benchmark is working as expected. | |
| streaming with benchmark2-dx DAC - problem - no signal to preamp I am sure Benchmark asked you to do this but I will ask just in case. Did you reboot the iPad?I never knew the iPad could be connected to the DAC directly. I thought you needed a computer and not a iOS tablet. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel I was reading a lot of posts all over the internet on Benchmark because I am currently buying some of their gear, including a couple of AHB2's. From what I read, I think the AHB2 gets a lot of respect in the HiFi community. Some people ... | |
| Focal Kanta No 2 Buy the TMR ones, even if it is not the perfect color for you. Use the savings and party somewhere fun with your girlfriend. It is only speakers. | |

| Focal Kanta No 2 Unfortunately, I could not find the reference to the $6k Kanta 2 sale. This was actually the second time I had seen such a sale in the past 12 months. It looks like they have a 15% off sale now. It also looks like Focal has periodic sales, like Pa... | |
| Focal Kanta No 2 That Levinson 585 is awesome and there is one available at The Music Room for $6K. I heard it with Magico A3's, which I think are also Beryllium. Let me see if I can find the email or whatever I got recently for the $6K new Kanata 2. | |
| Meze EMPYREAN + Benchmark DAC3B + Benchmark HPA4 Thanks, I appreciate the sentiment. Sometimes you get lucky. |
