| First Watt and Aleph amps with Tortuga passive preamp I use a balanced Tortuga with a pair of Benchmark AHB2s. I originally had a First Watt F7, and my 91db speakers didn't love the pairing at all. Though maybe I should have played with the impedance..... | |
| Jay’s Audio DAC @alvin1118 I know it's early, but do you happen to have any user feedback yet? | |
| Jay’s Audio DAC It would be great if this DAC ends up being very transparent and up punches well above it's weight. I'm still not 100% sold on the Terminator, and if I can avoid lusting over and saving up for the Rockna, that would be spectacular. | |
| Holo's new R2R KTE Spring-2 Dac Interesting | |
| Verastarr-Grand Illusion I've been thinking about this power cords and balanced cables. More than I want to spend, but it's very enticing. | |
| Black Cat Silverstar BNC to BNC Wondering if I need to consider their AES/EBU now.............. | |
| Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC upgrade to Paua opinions? I also have a Technics SP10 MK2, and was thinking about the MIMC. How are you liking the combination? | |
| Toploading CD transports recommendations I just sold an April Music Stello transport, which was great. If you can find one, I recommend it. Though I also have a Musical Fidelity M1 CDT transport, and I think it sounds better than the Stello. It's slot loading. | |
| If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money @in_shore What are you thoughts on the Rockna vs the Terminator?I considered the Terminator as my next dac, but now I'm thinking that maybe the Rockna will be the one. Longer to save the money and justify the price, but it seems like a very long t... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Has the Rockna been discussed? Not the older one with the inferior MSB solution, but the newer version with their own decoding? I've heard almost nothing but good things about it, and it is praised by many as one of the best dacs you can buy. Does... | |

My speakers are 6 ohm nominal and not sure where they dip to (Tempo Electric EP-1).However going form one amp to two, was relatively dramatic in my opinion, and I would recommend it. If you don't love it, send one back. I d... | |
| A new (huge) R2R high end DAC in town I live in Austin and have listened to an Aries Cerat dac on a few occasions, as the US distributor is here (Believe High Fidelity). Unfortunately I have not listened to the dac in my own system (far out of my price range), though hopefully one day... | |
| JAY'S Audio CDT-3-MK2 or PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player @facten In my system the Musical Fidelity M1 CDT sounds better than the April Music transport, to me.The Musical Fidelity has an airier, more illuminated, more like music sound. Slight, but there. I went back and forwards on them, one day one woul... | |
| Jay’s Audio DAC @mikepowellaudio Very interested in where this stands versus the Terminator and the Rockna. | |
