| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations Thanks for the info, Transience. The only review I could find on the gold note from digital audio review suggested it sound “hot” which I took to me bright, harsh. Your review is the opposite. I have ATC speakers which are not bright but are de... | |
| beginner seperate system I have a Red Wine Audio (no longer made) Integrated that I use and love. It’s A tube preamp with a battery power amp side. May sound weird on the form but my ears say it’s good. Easy to find used models and Vinnie still services them. Had as a... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Lots of great recommendations on here. I own Wyred 4 Sound ST-500 mk 2 and enjoy it a lot. I've had it for 3 years now and can't complain a bit. They have a 30 day audition period so not much risk there if you want to dip your toe into that wate... | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations Interestingly in the article usery referenced above, the DAC section of the m100 is the same used in ATC’s own CD/DAC. Since they are the ones that have manufactured my speakers that seems like a cool coincidence. I know any DAC is more than jus... | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations Any differences between m100 vs m150 other than watts? | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations @mr_m--wise comments. good stuff.@usery--Nola! Sweet! Clever speakers. We should be friends. ;)I see one available on The Music Room with room correction which I think would be smart given my inability to do anything about speaker placement. ... | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations @usery64– really helpful comments and references. Thank you for chiming I’m with your personal experience and other good info. What speakers are you running with it? | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations Any thoughts on Classe Sigma 2200i or Anthem STR? Love them Canadians! | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations @djones: the M100 and M150 are the most intriguing to me and I keep going back to them. On paper they look great. Hard to find any reviews that are of any help. In a world of audio reviews where all of them are positive reviews I kind of read b... | |
| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations @maritime--thank you for the suggestions. I've never heard of Nuprime so I'll take a look. I have heard of bluesound but didn't know about the node 2i.@audionoobie: I have considered the Naim Uniti product lines but I don't think the Atom has en... | |
| Looking to Re-cap my Krell KSP 7B in DC area - Any recommendations Look for music technology in Springfield. I have used him before and appreciated him every time. https://maps.google.com/maps?oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari&um=1&ie=UTF-8&fb=1&... | |
| Recommendations for CDP < $300 I would look for a used Rega Planet 2000 or Rega Saturn. Made in England smooth, juicy sound. I owned for years and years. Loved it. Only downside is that it is a top loader and needs some overhead clearance to get the CD in and out. You coul... | |
| Integrated amp + dac for Focal I heard a pair of focal sopra’s with a Naim uniti star and thought it was too much detail. Bright is another way to say it. I can understand why some like their music that way. So much detail. , But, maybe use caution there. I haven’t seen a... | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? It's a good question. One of the reasons I chose the Class D was for this reason. Runs cooler than most and uses little power, <28W, when on but not in use. | |
| Power amp/integrated amp suggestions for SUPER POWER HUNGRY/INEFFICIENT SPEAKERS Wyred 4 sound hits your budget and your wpc requirement. They are class D. Could go integrated, monoblocks or dual mono. I have the dual mono version st500 mk II. I like it a lot. Runs cool (good for your small room) sounds towards warm side. ... |
