| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @whitecamaross i have the Oppo Sonica which is the same DAC as the 205 but I have full blown Modwright tube mods and it is very good. I think Modwright really took advantage of the new DAC chip. | |
| LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps. I'm sure the BHK is good from what I've heard but I haven't heard it. I have two of the MZ2's and they are spectacular. I also have a Benchmak AHB2 on the way to me so I can let you know next week how it sounds with SS. | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? I have a new Modwright Oppo Sonica and with its beautiful sounding tube output stage it's a giant killer, dynamic, warm and detailed. I seem to prefer it to my DS DAC at the moment. There is a new firmware update coming from PS audio so I will com... | |
| Focal Headphones with Linear Tube Audio The LTA Micro ZOTL sounds wonderful with my Oppo PM1 head phones but if I were looking for head phones I would wait a couple of months because David Janszen has new hybrid electrostat head phones set coming out. He had a prototype with him at Axpo... | |
| Oppo Sonica DAC or Audio Research DAC 3 Mk2 & Sonos Wyred4sound modded I recently got the Modwright Oppo Sonica. I wished I could comment more on the stock Sonica but I haven't heard it without the mods. It is a killer DAC and the streaming functions work flawlessly. It rivals my much more expensive Direct Stream DAC... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @willsw please get the DI's in the shop so I can come by and listen. I want to buy a pair but I would love to get in a listen first. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Does anyone know what differences there are with the new SE version? I don't see anything on his web site but have heard some chatter here about this version. | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! I also think Pete is a great guy. I have owned the Triode Wire Labs American SC's and in my system they didn't come close to the sound of the Graphene Extreme SC's. The Teo GC's do win out over the Graphene Extreme IC's and every other interconnec... | |
| Internet Streaming: Aurender N100H & N10 vs Melco N1A/2 & N1ZS/2 (Mk2) My Oppo Sonica modified by Modwright is truly stunning. | |
| Morrow SP7 Upgrade. I had the Morrow Grand Elite Reference SC's and thought they sounded very good. Next I tried Cerious Technologies Graphene Extreme SC's and it sounded like I added perfectly integrated sub woofers, that's how much these cables changed the bass. Of... | |
| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? As a member of the DC HiFi Group we have our meetings at many of the local dealers in the greater DC area but JS Audio won't give us the time of day. | |
| Server/Renderer vs. Oppo's simple app I have the new Oppo Sonica with Modwright mods and I think the mods are worth every penny, sounds very good. I don't use Tidal but it is on the Oppo app and looks easy to use. I have a desk top computer in another room and use the Jriver app mostl... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @waltersalas "Audiophile Nervosa being what it is, I didn't want to get, like, and keep the speakers, only to experience that niggling feeling six or eight months from now that I might be missing that extra few degrees of refinement or impact--if ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks @david_ten for the info.@waltersalas , I plan on getting the upgrade package and a different color. What was the additional cost? | |
| Looking for significant upgrade from Oppo 105 to stream Tidal. I have the 105 modded by EVS and the Sonica with the new DAC chip and Modwright full tube mods does sound significantly better than the EVS 105. In fact I have already ordered the 205 from Modwright for my HT/2 channel listening. The 105 will most... |
