| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD You really cannot go wrong with either one of the two in my mind. One is much more reasonably priced though!!!! | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD FPGA "controlled" fully discrete DAC is where its at. Make all things as good as possible from a simplistic and overkill engineering standpoint, and you only have a couple DAC's to choose from IMO. But you better be ready to get your wallets out. | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? rob, mzk, all I can say is enjoy what you have and keep on believing. There is no need to try and cram your closed in ideals. You are on an Audiophile forum. You know that, right? I have yet to meet a true audiophile that was not open to improveme... | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? Steve is not wrong. He is a very qualified engineer IME. He knows what all the problems in the entire system are, and how to solve them. I had the SMR with the latest improvements. I sold it because my Server is better, and of course, more conveni... | |
| Decisions, decisions (upgrades to digital front end) I recommend whatever DAC you can afford in the Totaldac lineup, and have the streamer board installed in it. Seems like a random promo post I suppose, but I have been around with digital, and Totaldac is analog. | |
| My recent experience with 3 pre-amps - help me pinpoint the next upgrade. Sounds like you have outgrown the downfalls of a volume control. Try yourself a Wyred 4 Sound STP of a sort if you can trial one. There are VERY few preamps that keep the dynamics fun and the event the same size when even very quiet. | |
| best preamps I like the Sutherland Director (sometimes called Direct) in my system. It is bold, focused, and very lifelike. I also like a Many Moons Audio upgraded version of the Sansui CA-F1. Disclaimer: I am Many Moons Audio. They are both very excellent pre... | |
| News: Qobuz Hi-Res platform's debut is scheduled for this October. See Qobuz Links below I don't know what is going on over here, but Tidal using the same app, sounds much better to my ears. Open, airy, more focused. It is not even close on the albums I compared. I just got it yesterday, so have not given it the widespread try with mo... | |
| best preamps furiouslyadrift, What particular model of FUNK preamp are you speaking of? Just curious if it is the one I think it is. | |
| What improvements did you hear in going from entry level to high end Audio? That you have to get the speaker amp marriage correct or nothing else matters. What amp(s) does your speaker designer use? Might be a good way to get there. | |
| Does Roon sound better? mayoradamwest,You really should do more playing with the different software. They all sound different. I stll like and LOVE mpd. Its got the magic! | |
| Listening Height Adjustment -- Is This Why Two People Don't Hear the Same? Depends on the speakers. | |
| Job amps: Suck? No, this amp is fantastic and a good dose of the very high end for not allot of dough. It responds drastically to different power cables, unlike any other amp I have tried. This is likely why there are mixed reviews. Find the right power cable, an... | |
