| Mytek Brooklyn+microRendu -or- PS Audio DS Junior? I am interested in choosing between this pair of DACs aalso and would very much like to read more comparative info about both of them.I lean to the DirectStream because of the infinitely free upgradable feature. And also because the decision to g... | |
| PS Audio uber dac you have to remember with this gear that NO ONE should pay retail for PS stuff...I paid 62% of retail for a new unit from an authorized dealer so just remember that when you’re talking about the price of that gear. I’d sure like to get 62% off a ... | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? I’d like to stir up this thread in hopes of more comments. Everyone who has contributed has praised the company and I have no doubt about that. But I was interested in more comparative listening comments. How does their DirectStream DAC or the ... | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? We picked up Oppo 205 from the local office on July 2. Really happy to get it and very happy with it. I wouldn’t give up too soon. The earlier you put in your request, the more likely you will get one. We put in our email request around 7-8 A... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? Just want to add a follow up thank you to all who contributed to this thread and from which I have learned so much! As I start to write I am on a much needed break from the boring task of ripping CDs. I am on my second listening of a SACD recor... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? I am so behind on this thread! I have to apologize for not being responsive for the last week. Just five days ago I finally took delivery of the Naim Uniti Core, which is a long awaited and much anticipated addition to my audio gear. My nephew got... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? Hegelsjh, you are addressing my weakest area. I’ve almost no experience with a stand-alone DAC. Let’s see if I see your point: which I think is that if all digital audio passed through a common DAC it would all sound much more similar. Is that rig... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? I think it’s time to just listen for awhile. A couple of weeks at least. Become more familiar with how the new components are sounding and let them settle in. Just last night, listening to the music of Tosca via satellite TV I felt the extra b... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? I must agree. My system setup is confusing!Just to turn things on I have to follow this routine. All but the last two steps have their own remote control to pick up and put down. I’ve wanted to invest in a Neeo for some time.Turn on TVTurn on Arc... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? Thanks, auxinput for info on HDMI Audio. And the compliment on the Musical Fidelity! It was wasted at my computer.It never occurred to me to try the Arcam’s digital outputs because I’ve always preferred analogue. Which gets me to thinking....I... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? I’m listening now after about 48 hours of continuous play. Too soon to be sure, but my first impression is there has been some improvement, though I’m not sure how much. I need much more time for listening to a range of familiar music programmin... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? The one I’ve always had problems understanding is the mystery of burning in. Maybe it helps to have an EE degree,which I certainly dont have, Or just some deeper knowledge of the behavior of electronic parts at the electron level. It doesn’t he... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? I have compared the Arcam and the Pioneer. All I have to do for a/b comparison is to mute one or the other. The Pioneer leaves the Arcam in the dust. The only difference is the Arcam is getting audio via HDMI, the Musical Fidelity/Pioneer by w... | |
| Need cable to soften brightness just a little? Thanks much all for the helpful advice. The Oppo has been set up to repeat until I put a stop to it. I am also including the Musical Fidelity and the Pioneer in the continuous play. The Pioneer has only been played once or twice in the last 25 yea... | |
