| Most Important, Unloved Cable... No, I get it. This is different though. Let’s be fair. Filtering in data transmission is in the MHz range. Far different situation than power delivery, for example. I have used the USB cable in many scenarios to positive result each and every time... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Doug, add the Totaldac Ethernet Cable/Filter to your trials. It is my favorite by quite allot. His USB Cable is also the best I have tried. | |
| More discrete R2R Mulibit dacs. That Terminator DAC does look pretty serious! Thanks for sharing George... Are you going to pursue this one? | |
| What commerical audio system tweaks provide sound quality improvement?? Agree to the above. Connections matter. The best tweaks/improvements I have found to make nice improvements, after the room and amp to speaker matching are taken care of, and in my opinion:--Interconnects. Do not cheap out here.--Good copper conne... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? I like comparisons, but with companies offering more than one DAC product, the comparison is a bit confusing. May I ask for some specifics? Like the model from said company in comparisons? | |
| Reference level DAC + Streamer I have the Totaldac Twelve, with the 4 boxes, so a server, reclocker, and Twelve DAC for each channel. Yes, it is allot of cables, but no other DAC I have tried comes close. You will get over the cable thing really quick with an audition. The Twel... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? I hear you charles1dad. However, I have had both the DAVE and the Totaldac here, and it was very clear to me in my 2 channel system that the Totaldac translated much better with a speaker system. With headphones, I am not sure, and I think this is... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Both these DAC's put you in Totaldac territory. I would much prefer a Totaldac D1 Six to anything else mentioned here. | |
| SQ Differences Between Aries Variants I think that using tweaky things like the Regen after a digital source is a joke personally... Get the Aries LE at least, and you won't need a Regen anymore. Fix the real problem. | |
| Should I update Ayre QB9 dac I liked the Codex with PCM, but DSD didn't sound very good through it. Not sure how the QB-9 DSD handles DSD, but maybe this is one reason people prefer it? | |
| Preamp popping! 10-30 seconds was the kicker.... That and no tube preamp I have ever owned popped at start up. | |
| Mogami wire quality? Mogami is great stuff, and very high in the performance for money. I would say that if you cannot budget around $1K for some interconnects, you won't do much if any better than Mogami. IMO, YMMV....It does get better though. Zenwave Audio makes ca... | |
| Regarding Joseph Audio Pulsar Loudspeakers The Pulsar's are one of if not the best stand mount speakers on this planet IMO. They are the only ones I have heard that pull off the image scale of a larger floor speaker. Now they don’t have the visceral impact and low bass of a full range loud... | |
| Is it a OK to leave tube pre-amps powede up 24/7 I follow the on once, off once, per day. | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Is this PC more than a cable with a transformer in line?? |
