| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience I’ve done both ~ buy used via Canuck Audio Mart and new through 2 trusted dealers. I tend to buy used when upgrading - eg. moving up through the Cardas cable line. I tend to buy new when trying something new ~ eg. when making a significant speak... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Check out the Revel Ultima 2 Salons or Studios. Sister company to JBL and one of the best value speakers IMHO. | |
| How much is MQA conversion? Wouldn’t Tidal offer standard 16/44 FLAC files as an alternative to MQA? | |
| Music Streamer Quality I have a Moon 780D and I get better sound using the internal MiND streamer vs using my Meridian Sooloos MS600 to feed it via an MIT Oracle digital coax. Not sure if this is due to a shorter signal path or just differences in the sonics of the str... | |

| Berkeley vs. Simaudio I've managed to pick up a used Berkeley Alpha DAC Series 2 that I'm currently trying out in my system, comparing it to my Simaudio 650D and my Meridian MS600. The 650D and Alpha DAC 2 are fed from the S/PDIF coaxial RCA output of my Meridian MS600... | |
| Berkeley vs. Simaudio Cool, would be interested in your thoughts when you hear it! | |
| Berkeley vs. Simaudio Sabai, have you heard the PS Audio Directstream DAC? | |
| Berkeley vs. Simaudio There's a review of the Berkeley Audio Reference DAC in this month's edition of The Abosolute Sound. Robert Harley put's the DAC's performance right up there with much more expensive DAC's from the likes of DCS! | |
| Berkeley vs. Simaudio Thanks Hifimaniac. |
