| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! G.,Exactly! You said it better than me. The Chord Dave is supposed to be optimal via USB and so is my Antipodes DS GT music server. Maybe that's why I prefer them in my system. I'm tired of "better", I like prefer.A friend I met through Audiogon ... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! My friend replaced his Esoteric K01-X after hearing the Dave in his system. Although the Esoteric is almost twice the cost of the Chord Dave. Different system, different ears, different preferences. No one is right or wrong.I should add he replace... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I went from the PS Audio DirectStream to Bricasti M1 to Jeff Rowland Aeris and finally to the Chord Dave. Every component change is about system synergy. Although I could easily hear the differences between DACs, there isn’t a night and day differ... | |

| Most satisfying system change in 2017? Adding the Chord Dave | |
| Done, really done! Personally, I'll never say I'm done again. I've had several components for almost two years, but if I came into a lot of money I know I would upgrade my preamp and speakers. | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA After several days of listening I find installing the GAIA’s gives the illusion of music being totally disconnected from the speakers. The other effect is bass dynamics and articulation. As a matter of fact I turned my sub down for 2-channel liste... | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1) G.,I'm trying to get a home audition of the Hurricane power cords. If I do I'll be sure to post my thoughts. | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1) I'm sorry if I gave the impression that $2K for a power cord is inexpensive. I was just pointing out that there are power cords that cost $16k; therefore relative to that, $2K is inexpensive. Personally, I set a price range for every component tha... | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1) If price is the criteria for $uper High End, than $2K for a power cord is relatively inexpensive and "some" wouldn't consider them super high end based on cost. There are several companies that sell power cords for twice to eight times the price o... | |
| Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back? I listened to Goldenear Reference speakers at my local dealer a couple of months ago. Not to hear the speakers but to hear a Chord Blu MkII. I just don't like the way they sound. Of course just my opinion:) | |
| Chord signature reference versus Audience SX speaker cables I recently had a home audition of the Audience SX speaker cables. In my system they were very, very, good. I preferred them over Wireworld Silver Eclipse 7 and Shunyata Alpha speaker cables. Cables are system dependent, but in my system the Audien... | |
| IsoAcoustics GAIA I currently have Stillpoints Ultra Mini's under all of my components, but because Isopucks are relatively inexpensive I may try a few. | |
| Austin Texas area Audio folks? pantera33,Are you by appointment only? | |
| Cable advice needed addyson815,That's what I got out his question also. I agree with jl35, "most companies recommend the best cable from source to pre." I have two different XLR cables and use the "better" one between my source and pre. |
