| 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 ... | |
| Benchmark Preamps and Amp - For real? @dr_joe What was the result of your comparison of the LA4 against the big Boulder? | |
| 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... | |
| Small Office - Wilson vs B&W vs Kef @eisenb11 I was told by dealers that carry KEF that the REF 1 would work in my similar sized room. However, they did say that the REF 1's sound best with some space from the back wall.I bet the new Vivid monitor speaker that is due out soon would... | |
| Small Office - Wilson vs B&W vs Kef I saw this recent article by the guy I am going to get to create my DRC Convolution file. I mentioned it previously on this thread. http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/manufacture/0420/Understanding_Digital_Room_Correction_For_Audiophiles.htm ... | |
| VIVID AUDIO SPEAKERS I was close to selecting the Vivid Kaya 45 for my office. The price gave me pause and I was wondering if it was that much better than the much cheaper KEF Reference 1 or 3 that I was also considering. I really liked the Kaya 45 and since it remind... | |
| ~$6K mini-monitor recommendations? What do you expect to get that the Kef LS50 can't deliver? I think you will just be throwing money away. I think the same thing. I am going to both upgrade my electronics to use with my LS50's and also buy a bigger "bookshelf" speaker to keep ... | |
| Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed? Move to Carpinteria, CA and all you need to do is step outside your door and breath the air to get your fix of weed. Carpinteria, CA maybe the center of the "legal" weed industry in CA. I used to live there but that smell was too much for this non... | |
| Small Office - Wilson vs B&W vs Kef When you say in your opinion have you tried it yourself with a good microphone or are you just assuming?The guy I plan on having do the convolution files for me is mitchco from Audiophile Style web site. Have a look through his book or his reviews... |
