| Mccormack DAC1 vs today’s dacs gdnrbob, let me know when you are ready to sell it. I am going to check with SMC to see what can be done and whether it's worth the money between upgrading the dac vs upgrading the dna .5... | |
| Suggestions for Amp & Preamp or Integrated for my speakers I am using a Mccormak. DNA .5 with a Mcintosh C27 for my 2CE Sigs II and it sounds amazing. The preamp/ amp combo cost me 1500 bucks. i am sure you can find a good combination for that kind of money.. | |
| Vandersteen 2wq with Mccormack dna .5 It's been almost 4 weeks since I disconnected the 2Wq and have been listening to just the 2CE Sigs II and I am just amazed at the bass that these speakers have. When I bought them, I already had the subwoofer since I was using it with my 1Cs and I... | |
| Vandersteen 2wq with Mccormack dna .5 Bob/hifiman5,I haven't got a chance to connect with Johnny R (time difference between the west coast and NJ is always a challenge) however, I disconnected the 2WQ and am just using the 2CE Sigs II and it sounds much much better. Not sure if it's m... | |
| Vandersteen 2wq with Mccormack dna .5 Bob,Thanks for the tip. Will try to go a level higher and see if there is any difference. I am not using the M5-HP. I have three sets of fixed crossovers (100/75/50) that I bought from Vandersteen/ebay over time. That’s one of the reasons why it a... | |
| Vandersteen 2wq with Mccormack dna .5 Hifiman5,My main speakers are 2Ce Sigs II. I have Kimber PBJ running between the amp/preamp(Mcintosh C27) and the sub is connected using the standard cable that came along with it (I believe it is Audioquest). Speakers are biwired using Schmitt au... | |
| Seeking advice/tips on improving sound quality Bigkidz, you hit it on the nail. Unfortunately I don't know what I am looking for myself outside of just exploring what can help improve the current sound. I predominantly listen to classic rock and roll (mostly Floyd, Led Zep, Who) and then jazz ... | |
| Seeking advice/tips on improving sound quality I guess based on everyone's feedback the lowest common denominator is a DAC. For some odd reason my Arcam RDac doesn't jive with the Macintosh pre amp and when I turn up the volume all the way to the max I get a sound level that is moderately acce... | |
| Seeking advice/tips on improving sound quality Nycjlee, thanks for sharing your experience. I have heard about the Aurender but haven't seen or heard one. Will find out if there are any dealers here in the San Diego area who carry it. | |
| Seeking advice/tips on improving sound quality elevick, thanks for the tips. Stands are not filled. I will try it out. As far as cables are concerned, I have Kimber PBJs all the way through for interconnects and Schmitt Audio speaker/subwoofer cables. The Mccormack has a Shunyata Venom power c... | |
| Seeking advice/tips on improving sound quality Thanks Bob. Someone at work mentioned JRivers software. Swears by it. Apparently it has sound processing/optimization enhancements that are meant for audiophiles to tinker with. They have a 30 day trial and might give it a shot. | |
| Seeking advice/tips on improving sound quality Bluetooth is newer and am using AptX protocol. Vandersteen 3 might be too big for the room, besides the 2CEs are the signature ii editions (3 yrs old)... so not sure if all that hassle of swapping speakers will be justified in sound improvement. T... | |
| Dac - Preamp connection problems Unfortunately this is the first version of the dock and although the remote has the - + buttons, it doesn't really have any function and according to the manual it's reserved for 'future use'... | |
| Dac - Preamp connection problems The dac has no volume control that can help raise the volume levels. | |
| Dac - Preamp connection problems I am picking this old thread back up since I was never able to resolve my problem and thought of giving it another shot. The original problem still persists and am not sure if there could ever be any compatibility issues between a DAC and preamp. ... |
