| Meze EMPYREAN + Benchmark DAC3B + Benchmark HPA4 I thought I would update this thread with my latest tweak to the Empy. I ordered the Wywires Platinum headphone wire today. It is supposed to have the extra detail that I think the stock wire can be improved upon. There is a 40% off sale on this w... | |
| Headphone amp + DAC + Volume + ROON READY Decided on the Chord Hugo TT2 with my exisiting microRendu streaming to the DAC. | |
| Sexy singer(s) and/or song(s) Blondie - Heart of GlassBefore MTV and instant access to everything. A lot of mystery with Blondie for this 10-12 year old. | |
| M scaler or Cables Thanks that is a great bit of info on the Chord. I do use a Torus power conditioner on my office system. The Chord I am considering is for a bedroom, with DAC + the microRendu streamer only. Great to know that a direct wall connection will suffice... | |
| M scaler or Cables @verdantaudio I think I am leaning towards getting the Hugo TT2 for a second bedroom to listen to my Meze Empy headphones before I hit the sack. I was thinking of using my existing Sonore microRendu to get Tidal and Qobuz to this DAC. I will upgra... | |
| Removing a ZERO from the price of amps The Purifi amps seem almost as good spec wise as the AHB2. However, based on Schneider’s description the Purifi seems to sound better than the AHB2 (which I will get).When I heard Bruno et al say last year that their goal was to remove a zero from... | |
| Building a new system for about 5 grand Buy used. Buy Class D for amps at this price range. Buy an integrated to save on wires (integrated are good nowadays).I use a Peachtree Nova 150 integrated, which is Class D with a built-in DAC. I also use a $450 Sonore microRendu to stream from m... | |
| Recommended Speaker Design for Corner / Near-Wall Placement? Vivid Audio folks told me that their speakers can be placed rather close to the back wall because of the back wave cancelling tube they use (my layman's explanation). There is a new Vivid monitor (S12?) that is coming out from them very soon which... | |
| Switch between amps edit: Mola Mola Makua preamp | |
| Switch between amps I was looking at doing the same thing and wanted to get a preamp that had dual outputs. There is a thread I created that discusses this. It turned out some preamps such as the Mola Mola Tambaqui, Wyred 4 Sound, Atmassphere and a host of others sup... | |
| Innuos Zen Mk3 - Ultra Rendu and MAC mini Talk to Sonore about incorporating a Fibre Optical conversion into your setup. From what I read it have the impression you are taking Ethernet from your switch into the ultraRendu and taking the USB out from the ultraRendu into your DAC. Their vie... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 @smodtactical Since someone above mentioned the Luxman spearates let me chime in since no one asked :)The Luxman separates are amazing and was going to be my choice for the NS 5000. However the following issues made made get a different preamp.1) ... | |
| Headphone amp + DAC + Volume + ROON READY Sure | |
| Headphone amp + DAC + Volume + ROON READY @arafiq Sonore are leaders in streaming. There is much more info about them on Computer Audiophile web site. They participate in the Audio Forums there. For what it is worth, that web site selected the Rendu’s the Product of Decade. I said this in... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 @arctikdeth What is unique about that 12' woofer is that it is made from the same material as the tweeter and mid-range. I don't think anyone else making a box speaker can make that claim. I could hear the benefit of the 3 drivers made of the same... |
