| Auralic Vega G1 vs Hegel H390 internal DAC ? Anyone? There is some good DAC info on the Hegel 590 in the review posted below. It is supposed to have a similar sounding DAC as the 390.

| Yamaha NS 5000 This an audio site and not a finance site so my last comment on money is that volatility in the stock market is not necessary a bad thing. You can make money with stock prices going up and down. That $5K investment started about 5 or 6 years ago s... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 I am with you on the buy something. Actually I was going to buy the NS5000 at the public NS5000 event at the local dealer. I wanted to hear it in the bigger demo room just in case. Well this thing called Covaid-19 hit and the event got cancelled. ... | |
| Music Server vs PC confused My answer is no. I have been saying NO to this so much that people must think I am a Sonore xxxRendu fan-boy (a Ethernet-2-USB converter or digital converter). They do work, even with a cheapo, busy, noisy computer in any room of your home, as lon... | |
| Luxman CL-1000 Line/Phono Preamplifier There is a review posted on Stereophile today. Though I could not get through reading it. I seem to get bored reading these things now. | |

| Does the 'Buck' Start with the DAC? The Lumin X1 was discussed a lot in the Best High End DAC thread but I have yet to see a mention of the X1 connected by the fibre optical input. It cost about $200 to buy a network switch with Optical and maybe another $100 to connect this to ... | |

| Magico vs the world I will also add the 10 year old Thiel 3.7 in my list. Just love that speaker. | |
| Magico vs the world Given the sales volume of speakers like the Magico A3, I would think they have a ton of fans. I have heard a lot in the line Magico lineup with reference caliber gear and my 2 favorites were S3 MKII and the A3 (cost wise). I would not have bought ... | |
| Mola Mola Makua Pre. / DAC I heard a top end Classe amp with the Thiel 3.7 about a decade ago and it was great. Just blew me away though I gave most of the credit to the Thiel 3.7.I am trying to figure out whether to buy the Makua with DAC + Luxman m900u amp or Luxman c900... | |
| Mola Mola Makua Pre. / DAC @fastfreight Are you able to give some comparisons of the Kaluga's to any other amps you have used with the Revel Salon2's? I have owned the Salon1's and know they needed power.The PS Audio gear you referenced above, does that include their amps? | |
| Mola Mola Makua Pre. / DAC There is a dude in San Diego selling a Makua without the DAC for $5400. I emailed him yesterday to find out about the logistics of adding the DAC module. I decided to just buy a new one if I go with the Makua since adding the DAC module to a used ... | |
| Computer out of music room Why spend $4k when you can get maybe a better solution for $400, a used Sonore microRendu. I use the microRendu for the last 4+ years. This device is a Ethernet-2-USB converter. So you hook up the device to your network by Ethernet and then the ou... |
