| Digital input amp The GAN1 (after mods by tweakaudio.com) approaches levels that are shocking for $1200 + 500 mods. Send me a DM if you want to discuss more. The reason being the nature of the GAN1 design. It is SIMPLE. | |
| Speaker recommendations :-) @lammjunkie Since you are in Croatia why not try the RAAL SR1a + TI-1b adapter box + Lamm gear. It will be a pleasant diversion from 2-channel speakers. Chances are you will keep them even when you get your next speakers. | |
| SimAudio Moon North Collection @overthemoon Shelleys in Woodland Hills CA, my local dealer is trying to sell their demo 860A V2. They have a 861 coming in. http://www.shelleysstereo.com/ | |
| Tower Speakers Close to Back Wall @flyfish77 Your room is a bit bigger than mine but I have 25-foot ceiling. Everyone told me that my speakers should not be too close to the front wall. I have them only 17 inches from the wall to the back of the speaker. The speaker has 12-inch wo... | |
| Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit. Since we are excluding Shitt I will add that I got the new https://www.schiit.com/products/mjolnir-3 preamp/headphone amp. It has to mostly work as a preamp to my Schitt Aegir amp and then into my headphones. The integrated headphone output wil... | |
| Amp Recommendations If those Sonus are on the warm side and efficient I would get a stereo or mono Benchmark AHB2. Used prices are under $5K for the monos. The Benchmark speaker cables are actually very good with these amps. I ended up using the Audience FrontRow spe... | |

| Old CD player back from the dead—prompting many questions! I had a issue with my Sony SCD-1 modded by Vacuum State to 5+. This player is amongst the very best SACD players made and very good on CD. The mods took it to another level. More than 20+ years later the SCD-1 died and I had no way to play my SAC... | |
| I stream 24/7. Do you? I automatically shutdown my ROON Core PC at 2:30AM. The PC bios is set to wake up the PC at 7:00AM for another day of music. Though the morning is for great FM radio. | |
| recommendation of amps @robshaw This was the reason I took a flyer on the Yggi+ Less is More DAC (my mistake it is not the worst measuring). New Schiit Yggdrasil Blind Listening Comparison - Bits and Bytes - Audiophile Style The reviewer has listened to tons of gear, ... | |
| Optical Conversion Not Working, Please Help Take a look at what these guys sell. Not too expensive and it works great. I have a few OpticalRendu's using their accessories. Accessories – Small Green Computer | |
| USB DACs that outperforms OPPO 105D's internal DAC? I put a $799 D.BOB with my used $200 OPPO. The OPPO has a bit of mechanical noise and what I have is a low-end device. The D.BOB takes HDMI out from the OPPO and allows me to route decoded SACD DSD and CD into my DAC of choice. In my case, a $220... | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please @diminishedchord Are you getting the speakers to listen by yourself or for many people or even in another room? If it is just for yourself, and you like the uber detail of the Paradigm Persona B, then the RAAL SR1a earphone would work amazingly wi... | |
| recommendation of amps I have the DAC3B and it is rather good, but a little hot on the top end. I had a $15k Lumin X1 to replace it and it was really good for the year I owned it. In fact, it was the best DAC and 2nd best streamer I had. I traded the X1 in to buy speak... | |
| recommendation of amps @robshaw Sanders sells used Magtechs for $4k with 1-year warranty. I got the amp from him to use with the LA4 preamp and Magnepan LRS+ speakers. Sanders even gave me a 30-day home trial period. I told him I was keeping the amp after 2 days. It is ... |
