| Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready? Really, the Teac looks like the real winner in the under 3k price range. | |
| Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready? What kind of Dac does the Bel-Canto have? It can’t be much if there’s no highlights of the dac on the product page. With no balanced outputs, I'm not certain if this would be any better than a Bluesound node at 1/3 the price | |
| TEAC NT-505 - How good is it? Really for $2000. the TEAC looks to be a fine component. Plus, places like Crutchfield, who carry Teac, has generous return policies. | |
| Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready? This new one looks interesting. Maybe too may features (Phono pre, FM tuner). You also have the ability to record any input at 24/192. With all the features, I'm assuming corners have been cut to keep the unit around $3khttp://www.cocktailaudio.co... | |
| Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready? If some of your listening is MQA, I was told that in the Brooklyn, the MQA filters (whatever that is) has to be turned on/off manually. The filters do not change with whatever audio format is playing. I’m not certain what kind of sonic characteris... | |
| Qobuz Users Update? MQA is dead. | |
| Peachtree audio iDecco - not hearing any difference with the tube on or off. I believe the original intent was to smooth out harshness of using portable music device/ iPod/ phone as a source. Did some of the original PT products have iPod docks built in? | |
| Buy a $40,000 10 year old amp for $4,000 or new amp for same money? I think the gist of the Op’s Question was wondering if a super high priced 10 year old amp that is now more affordable a better option than a current new amp at the 10 year old’s current used price. I would say it depends on the amp and condition.... | |
| NAD C 658 DAC Not certain that would want to purchase a product that lets something like the issue above get out the door. Looks like it’s Lumin for me | |
| Paul McGowan's (PS Audio) autobiography -- "99% True" now available for $4.99 on Kindle PSAudio is a top rate company | |
| Lumin vs Auralic Myself, I already have a preamp, so the Streamer/Dac would be set to fixed volume or turned up all the way. | |
| Lumin vs Auralic A couple of things 1. Dave and Troy, did you compare the NAD to the D2?2. I learned that with the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge, the MQA filters must be turned on and off manually. I’m not certain how that effects sound of non MQA content. The filters do ... | |
| 'Unlistenable' early digital recordings? I recently purchased a Torus power conditioner. And I am now using ZU event power cables. The sound seems to come from a much deeper - blacker place. I think mostly because of noise reduction. There is so much noise around us due to technology, wi... | |
| How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables? I think some fail to return equipment they don’t like, hoping for the glorious moment that mesmerizing sound takes over their rooms. By the time they figure it’s not going to happen, the return period has passed | |
| Difference between Bluesound Node 2i and Cambridge CXN v2 When I had the Node 2 I used two outputs. One into my Dac and then one analog out from the Node. If I needed to play MQA from Tidal, I could just switch the input on my Preamp. All the node's outputs are active all the time, which makes the Node q... |
