| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Okay, mr don here, this was a great thread abounding on the merits/demerits of DAC's and specifically the Lab 12 Dac1. Let me paste the response from Lab 12 themselves that I received Monday in the AM to clear up a small matter about this little m... | |
| Lab 12 DAC1 Special Edition Oops, https://hifipig.com/news-from-lab12/ | |
| Lab 12 DAC1 Special Edition @janehamble It seems jane is correct, HiFi Pig wrote about the Lab 12 in April 2014 after seeing it at the Newcomers to Munich High-End 2013 show. There was not much written on the lab 12 by HiFi Pig but the company was just getting started i thin... | |
| Top music streamer for 2019? Aurender N10’s? I do not yet own a Auralic Aries G1 but it is on my short list (innuos Mk III Auralic G1) and I am very curious as to why i have not yet heard anyone mention the Auralic Aries G1 in this conversation. And for that fact as far as DACS goes how abou... | |
| The Science of Cables @BSMG, THAT DESCRIPTION OF EARS AND HEARING DIFFERENCE WAS TOO FUNNY. | |
| Bookshelf speakers for near-field (desktop) use Without a doubt & without hesitation, Burchart S400's. I have then sitting on an 88" Gladiator butcher block workbench in my audio room.. That is just about perfect for stereo imaging and no subwoofer, its not necessary. I am using Prism Sound... | |
| Home owner's insurance question I have been thinking about the same insurance question since i have revamped both of my systems and continue to add to them. Question is, i have renters insurance only and was told my the issuer that it is capped at 5,000, is there no recourse suc... | |
| DAC Upgrade that would be an entirely private matter. However, it would appear you must be a trump supporter or one that likes invertedness or a pervert.. Keep it PG rated.. | |
| DAC Upgrade Ok, would some respectable audiophile respond to what @audiolouis is talking about when it comes to inversion or inverted polarity... I am starting to feel like trump is president over all music formats and owns gobouz, tidal and roon and we are a... | |
| Need DAC/Streaming Advice I see you seedubcris. I started out (my desktop) with Martin Logan's 15's and a Schiit Vidar with the Chord Mojo acting as a pre- and volume control streaming Spotify.. Not too shabby.. Now it is PS M700's, Burchart S400's and Prism Sound Callia s... | |
| Need DAC/Streaming Advice Blue sound/node should have never came into the conversation as well as the other "affordable" alternatives.. Save your pennies and get something worth owning, just my opinion.. My target is the Lab12 Dac1 and Aries G1, albeit they are both a futu... | |
| Dac selections The Prism Sound Callia, (check out their web page) As a side note, when i was going through the process of choosing a DAC i looked into Mytek as well and was close to making it a final choice. About that time, i read about a buyer who had tried ... | |
| Aurender vs. Roon Ok, so far it appears Aurender was kicked to the curb at some point in favor of the Innous then Lumin D2 or Lumin U1 in that order... Then I heard NDX 2 XPS 2 or a 555 [Nad?} which I am now going to look at.. I was favoring the Lumin D2 for the fa... | |
| Aurender vs. Roon @audiotroy,I have been looking into Aurender and oc course i then heard the name Innous being mentioned. How do you feel about the Lumin D2 or Lumin U1. I already have a DAC (Prism Sound Callia) & streaming Tidal (minus Roon for the time being... | |
| Aurender vs. Roon I will say i recently connected an Ideon Audio 3R Renascence between by Imac and Dac (Prism Sound Callia) Within a short time it dropped out meaning i had to disconnect and reconnect so it would recognize the Dac again. It was also pretty warm to ... |
