| Pass Int25 vs Bakoon 13r http://hifiknights.com/reviews/amplifiers/pass-labs-int-25/Direct comparisons here and 6moons builds on this review. Bakoon will be quicker, more detailed, better extension, and a little better separation. It’ll be a more flashy, colorful. The XA2... | |
| Review on the Rockna Audio Wavelight Pre/DAC just went up on Stereo Times @911renoguyWhat would you say are the main differences between the Signature and the Wavelight ? Detail, dynamics, tone ? | |
| I2S Input - Is It Better? Agree with what Tim said (really good dude). Broadly speaking AES/spdif will have a less focus in terms of imaging and staging, but the tend to have a bit more body/warmth. Bass will be a bit more bloated as well. I find USB in the middle and i2s ... | |
| Review on the Rockna Audio Wavelight Pre/DAC just went up on Stereo Times Ditto to what Jimmy said. I've got the Wavedream Edition SE - it's the one piece I never worry about playing with in my set up.I don't use mine as a preamp so no comment on the user friendliness. I think the sound qualities of Rockna have been wel... | |
| I2S Input - Is It Better? It's a regular HDMI. Some use an RJ45 connection. Generally the i2s output will yield a more accurate, cleaner sound. Tighter imaging and placement within the soundstage. Bass tends to get more defined.This can come at the expense of sounding lea... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? @joeinid How you liking the F7 these days ? I remember you were mentioning the F7 had a bit bigger soundstage and a little more detail than the valvet - still feel that way ? | |
| Does Anyone Currently Make an Ethernet to I2S Renderer? I’m in the same market and the only ones I’ve managed to find are the Rockna Wavedream Net (audiobyte sister company as well) and the Musical Pristina 3 unit. Both up there in price. I’m strictly a roon user however so not sure about other functio... | |
| Recommendations for fast sounding cables I'd recommend starting with a used SOTM or Sonore model and see if that moves you in the right direction. I think taking care of your digital front end will yield the most results for the elements you are looking for. It's amazing how much more co... | |
| What's the best non-DAC streamer? I'm on a similar hunt but looking up to 5kI'm looking purely for a renderer - so roon end point to stream tidal, qobuz etc. The one that's caught my eye the most is the new Sonore Signature Rendu SE with the optical input. | |
| Recommendations for fast sounding cables Cables will not speed up your system plain and simple.In terms of a what a good cable will offer - more inner detail, air, extension, tone, and dynamics - NOT transient speed. That said - I’m a big believer in silver cables. I use audiosensibility... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? @riaa_award_collectors_on_facebook I’d love to hear that comparison. The NA dealer is offering free shipping and 45d in home demos right now on the Bakoon 13R (perks of being a small amp) Sometime over the next 6-12 months I’d like to get the Bako... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? I have a Pass XA25, LTA UltraLinear, SIT 3, FW7The Pass is a very good amp, much preferred to my ears over the SIT3 however I don’t believe that my speakers are the best match for the SIT3 so please take that into consideration (Tannoy Eaton ~ 89d... | |
| Any experience of Valvet Audio E2se amplifier? I'm running 89db speakers in a small room sat about 7-8ft away from the speakers. The F7 is perfectly fine but I think I'll be pushing it with the Valvet @ 12w. I do listen at low levels, probably mid 70s. Eventually I will be upgrading to horns w... | |
| Any experience of Valvet Audio E2se amplifier? Side note - we have the same amps (SIT3, XA25, F7) ! I'm debating swapping the F7 for the Valvet hence the question.I really like the F7 so hesitant to let it go but curiosity is starting to get to me | |
| Any experience of Valvet Audio E2se amplifier? Interesting - keep us posted ! I figured they were quite similar but was under the impression that the e2se overall would be a tad ahead when it came to being detailed and powerful, yet sweet. |
