| Has any inexpensive Asian DAC manufacturer harnessed the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO Chip? I never noticed that was the mobile when I was researching DAC's . I did decide to go with the Benchmark DAC3B which uses, the pro chip of course it isn't under $500. | |
| Data cable needs for best performance. Cat X? Sorry I should have said would be used. | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? She isn't new or unknown is some circles but Sue Richards isn't a name familiar around this forum. If you like traditional Celtic music give her a try. I like Her CD Grey Eyed Morn. | |
| Data cable needs for best performance. Cat X? Cat 8 is used as interconnections in server farms but I would imagine within a year you’ll see mega buck cryoed Cat 8 cables being sold by the usual suspects to deepen the bass, extend the highs and what not. | |
| Has any inexpensive Asian DAC manufacturer harnessed the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO Chip? SMSL SU-8 are about $250 with balanced outputs and a remote if those are something needed. The Topping D50 does measure a little better. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-smsl-su-8-dac.... | |
| Amp Recommendations for Ohm Walsh 2000 Speakers I use a McIntosh MA 252 with the Ohm 2000. It has no problem driving them to levels I like around 65db to 70 db at my listening position and the amp is not being pushed. Depends on the sound you’re looking for very nuetral or a bit of tube warmth. | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming There was an article in Sound On Sound about 10 years ago on jitter and how it was not really a problem for good modern dacs and like I said this was 10 years ago. The article did say if you are chaining multiple dacs then you would want an extern... | |
| Suggestion for best stereo amp ? Instead of asking people on A'gon what to replace your Krells with shouldn't you be asking your wife which amps aren't going to pose the same response as the Krells ? | |
| Snake oil came first. By a likely ~ +50k years 50K years ago shamans were warning about the chicken and penis connection. | |
| Amp Recommendations for Ohm Walsh 2000 Speakers There is a thread under speakers you might try if you haven't , "Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder" . | |
| Snake oil came first. By a likely ~ +50k years The closest I got to the military is my draft card which I still have. | |
| Questions about Node 2i I always doubt my ears that's why I ask my wife who has better hearing and sees everything I put in the system as another little black box. If you like the sound that's all that matters. I do some things , like adding new DAC , I "think" improves... | |
| Recommendation for DAC needed. I can't tell the difference between CD and MQA streaming from Tidal on a node2i so I pulled the card and went with the Benchmark DAC 3 B. | |
| Recommendation for DAC needed. The benchmark DAC 3 B is on my short list but I could use some strictly neutral so it's good to know that about it. | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations There is a thread, Micromega M100/150 Field Reports, you can refer to. I used to own one and sold it when I bought some Ohm Walsh 2000 speakers and no longer used the room correction. I also used it with a wireless repeater and would have dropouts... |
