| New Sony HAP-Z1ES Firmware Out Today My local dealer friend received his Lampizator Atlantic yesterday and wants me to break it in for him. I'm going to use my MW Sony HAP USB to drive it and compare against the ModWright analog output stage. This will be fun. | |
| Seller asked for PayPal fees after the sale. Should I pay them or not? In my offers, I always explicitly state it includes ALL fees (shipping, PayPal ...) to avoid confusion. | |
| New Sony HAP-Z1ES Firmware Out Today Initially I also transferred my entire iTunes library onto the HAP using a LAN connection. With new music either downloaded or ripped, the HAP software running on the PC automatically pushes it to the player. So only time I need a PC is with n... | |
| New Sony HAP-Z1ES Firmware Out Today @stereo5 , Have you tried an external DAC? Does iPad App works the same except playing via external DAC if attached? | |
| Adcom 555 SE owners .. Any reviews? I think it m8ght have everything to do with why someone might not want to buy, "made in china"Sure but not the reason in this thread. | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one You're correct don't need it with QX-5. It's something I'm considering if going with just a DAC. I love the idea of a bridge where data can be accessed if on the network. This is exciting times with so many options. | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one Another option is the new DCS Network Bridge.I spoke with Berkeley and they're also working on a network bridge. It's not integrated in their DACs but a standalone unit due to Ethernet noise. Exciting times with so many options. | |
| Adcom 555 SE owners .. Any reviews? Other than China does not play by the same rules and are primary violators of all things environmental and fair wages.But hey, "sundown on the union"! -Robert Zimmermann This has nothing to do with some very good products are coming out of China. | |
| Adcom 555 SE owners .. Any reviews? Can't we put the China "poor quality" thing to bed? There are so many extremely well made Chinese audio products (Hegel, Jolida, Cambridge, Primaluna, Vincent, outsourced high end speaker boxes, on and on) out there now that it's fairly ridiculo... | |
| Your first component that was "special" A Krell KSA100s. I was shopping for my 1st tube pre and Krell was sitting quietly in the corner. Only read about Krells in magazines and never heard one so ask dealer to hook it up. WOW!!! My brother and I were mesmerized. We spent the whol... | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one @ctsooner What's your server / streamer? If I go with QX-5, consider running minimServer in a QNAP or Synology NAS. | |
| Lampizator Atlantic? The answer to my questions is analog and yes.Local dealer is waiting delivery on an Atlantic and has a GG for comparison. He's using a Mojo music server so should be interesting. | |
| Lampizator Atlantic? Is the volume control in digital or analog domain?Is the architecture (R2R ...) the same between SE and Balanced EXCEPT balanced is 2X SE? | |
| Viva, no longer a fan charles1dad, He already bought the amp, dac and speakers from Goodwin High End. He was interested in a VAC pre and just happens I have one and a Hegel H30. A local dealer introduced him to me and after a year+ demoing different pre, he final... |
