| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Depending on how good the GAN1 amp is I am thinking of trying the Maria amp for 30-days with the KEF Blade 2 Meta that I am getting. I have saved up cash to buy an expensive DAC but the idea of a single box, DAC, volume, and at least 1 analog inpu... | |
| New Class D amplifiers @ricevs mentioned this new brand to me a few days ago. Ric is modding my Peachtree GAN1 (to his preferences of course). This other amp he mentioned is the same as the GAN1 in spirit. It is more robust in that it has a volume, analog inputs, likely... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @f208frank Congrats on the DAC. How are you streaming to it? I have a PLink streamer but no Playback Desings DAC 😀 so I have no clue how the PLink sounds. | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Of topic but interesting for me. When I have the KEF KC62 sub working I think the Benchmark AHB2 monos with the KEF LS50 Meta is my best 2-channel setup, better than the CODA. A bit more clarity and the sub fills in the bass nicely. Now that the... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I should get the amp back early next week. On the following Saturday I will take it to an audio manufacturer and musician who has an incredible ear. I am helping him with some other things, and I want him to hear the GAN1 along with my Lumin X1 + ... | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! Only audio gear of interest to me is the room. Everything else is easy enough. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Anyone with a Musetec 005 used the PS Audio PerfectWave Transport with it using the i2s input on the 005? PerfectWave SACD Transport – PS Audio | |
| Lumin X1 and Upgraded DC umbilical cord for power supply. @pokey Have you gone over to Excel Audio and listened to the Esoteric SACD players? It is a big drive for me to make. I got my Lumin X1 for my 2-channel system, but it sounds so incredible on my headphones that I am now using it there. However, ... | |
| Lumin X1 and Upgraded DC umbilical cord for power supply. The part that interests me is that the Westminister guy and Lumin could be working together on some things. I may have read that on WBF. | |
| Lumin X1 and Upgraded DC umbilical cord for power supply. I am going to demo the Westminster Labs one from a Los Angeles dealer. He first has to round one up. | |
| Thiel Owners I am packing up my SCD-1 to ship it out this weekend to a buyer. The SACD section died last week, and the CD section will likely die on shipment. The original shipping packaging is toast (with all SCD-1 owners). I am shipping in a Magnum Dynalab ... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? I listen to a lot of new music via a great local NPR station (over airwaves). Streaming services have also helped me discover old "new" music. Especially, 70’s soul and funk. | |
| Will the Benchmark ahb2 amp sound better than Parasound hca 1500a? I owned the A21+ and I liked it. I got the CODA #16 indirectly because of the A21+. The CODA #16 is better than the A21+. I am saying the AHB2 under the right circumstances is my best amp. | |
| Will the Benchmark ahb2 amp sound better than Parasound hca 1500a? @aserejeje an interesting observation today. 1. I am looking to move my Lumin X1 DAC only for my RAAL phones connected to the RAAL VM-1a amp. The X1 is incredible with the VM-1a. The X1 on the 2-channel is also great but the RAAL phones are a bet... | |
| Will the Benchmark ahb2 amp sound better than Parasound hca 1500a? The only gear that I know of that is quieter than the Benchmark is the Holo Serene preamp which is a bit quieter than the Benchmark LA4 preamp. However, you will not be able to hear the difference since the SNR are so high on both. I have not rea... |
