| Dynaudio Excite Vs. Focus.... Freediver, true, but this question has NOT been covered for the new line of Focus and Excite loudspeakers which are currently coming out of Denmark. THIS is the question which should be up for discussion. For example, a discussion of how the Excit... | |
| Sierra 2 vs Dynaudio Focus 160 Thank you Rich, Tortilla...I just missed picking up a pair of Sierra 2s here for $1100 - by a few hours. No 30-day eval period that way though. Now a buddy of mine whose ears I trust highly recommended the LSA-1 Signature ($1899), which I can pick... | |
| Sierra 2 vs Dynaudio Focus 160 I should also throw the ProAc Tablette Anniverary in the mix. I listen to a lot of rock, jazz, female vocalists, piano, and some new-agey stuff. Thanks | |
| $4000 to Spend on Amp, Preamp and USB DAC Edorr, I was about to buy a PS Audio PWD but then I read that the USB input was by far the worst of the four. Do you - or anybody - think that a S/PDIF connection into that unit would warrant the purchase of a $500 Hiface converter? How much of a ... | |
| $4000 to Spend on Amp, Preamp and USB DAC Kbark- Thx for the recommendation but I can't deal with the low power rating of either supernait or uniti. | |
| $4000 to Spend on Amp, Preamp and USB DAC Johnny - that April Music piece looks fantastic! But ahh... the conundrum... to integrate or not to integrate?? That is the question. UPDATE: I ordered a pair of Emotiva XPA-1s today ($2000) which I can audition for 30 days risk-free. That's 1000 ... | |
| $4000 to Spend on Amp, Preamp and USB DAC Thanks everybody. Some excellent suggestions here! I have a USB to S/PDIF converter already from M-Audio.... Interesting idea/suggestion Edorr. That would indeed broaden my choices of high quality DACs. I think the route I am going generally, is t... | |
| Moscode 401HR vs Pass Labs X150.5 Thanks Pani. I was considering a Plinius SA-102 for a while. Apparently, based on your thread, you were too. I see you settled on the Symphonic, which I am now reading about. You have piqued my interest. Thanks! | |
| $4000 to Spend on Amp, Preamp and USB DAC Correction - the Bel Canto 3.5vb is $3500. Scratch that. But the 2.5 is only $2000..... | |
| $4000 to Spend on Amp, Preamp and USB DAC Thanks guys. Travis - I currently own a Peachtree Nova, and the preamp section is average at best. The amp section is useless honestly for anything approaching high end audio. The DAC is the jewel in this piece, and that is how I am currently usin... | |
| Moscode 401HR vs Pass Labs X150.5 You got that right Grant! Finally a hum-less, buzz-less system that I can live with. I'll take it. Thanks | |
| Moscode 401HR vs Pass Labs X150.5 UPDATE: So... after receiving my Peachtree Nova back from service two weeks ago, I am happy to report the following;1) On the advice of Johnny Rutan and Wally from Underwoord Hifi, I attached a cheater plug on the end of the power cord of the ARC ... | |
| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? UPDATE: So... after receiving my Peachtree Nova back from service two weeks ago, I am happy to report the following;1) On the advice of Johnny Rutan and Wally from Underwoord Hifi, I attached a cheater plug on the end of the power cord of the ARC ... | |
| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? As usual Grant, you make very good points... Now if you could just find me a used X150.5 I could shut up already and give my fingers (and brain) a rest! | |
| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? Well Grant, for $2500 shipped I can be the proud owner of an ARC SD135 which is only two years old, and apparently kicks the pants off the 100.2. Or for the same money, I can wait for another X150.5 to come up. Also, Dan from Reno Hifi told me the... |
