| The Mhdt lab Balanced Pagoda DAC Since I cannot order an MHDT DAC to see if it has the right synergy with the rest of my system, all I can do is ask folks who have tried them. So the questions I have are ...1. Since my amplifier (Cronus Magnum) does not support balanced, is the b... | |
| The Mhdt lab Balanced Pagoda DAC @bsme85 Yeah, this is exactly why I was asking teajay. I even contacted the dealer by email and they told me the same thing that they don't offer in home trials for DACs. Hopefully, teajay can chime in if he happens to know another way. I'm really... | |
| Seeking advice on purchasing a new streamer #adam8179 -- great choice! If the ultraRendu is anything like the opticalRendu, you will be very happy with the SQ. Hopefully, you will be able to share your impressions when you're ready. | |
| The Mhdt lab Balanced Pagoda DAC @teajay How do you setup an audition through Linear Tube Audio if you don't live close by? | |
| A warm DAC? People forget that this is a hobby, not a freakin’ science project. I don’t have a problem with someone basing their buying decisions solely on measurements - to each his own. But to unilaterally declare it as some sort of a universal truth is rat... | |
| Seeking advice on purchasing a new streamer @adam8179: If price is a concern you should also take a look at the microRendu sold by SmallGreenComputer. With an additional power supply, I think it will cost < $600. They're also offering a 60 day free Roon subscription. | |
| A warm DAC? Ok, thanks ... I stopped reading after 'No. ...' | |
| A warm DAC? @djones51 Have you heard the Border Patrol DAC? | |
| A warm DAC? I don't see an issue with posts that provide an alternate point of view. I have initiated several threads in the past where I wanted to focus on something very specific. But that was because I didn't know what I didn't know. I see no harm done :)S... | |
| A warm DAC? My understanding is that the RME ADI-2 is more neutral than warm, not that it's a negative in any way, but not what the OP is asking for. I think an R2R DAC from the likes of Denafrips, MHDT, etc, or tube-based might be a better fit. | |
| Seeking advice on purchasing a new streamer @adam8179 ... the opticalRendu utilizes a fiber optic interface to eliminate noise from your network. Since my ethernet switch does not support fiber optic interface, the media converter takes a CAT 6 cable from my switch on one end and connects v... | |
| Headphone amp + DAC + Volume + ROON READY Congrats! I had a feeling you won't settle for a sub 1000 DAC ;)I received the opticalRendu on Saturday and it's no doubt a step up from the Node in every possible manner. | |
| Seeking advice on purchasing a new streamer I was in a similar boat very recently. I was using a Node 2i in my main 2 channel rig in conjunction with a Cambridge Audio DAC (Azur 851D). After I purchased a separate headphone system, I moved the Node 2i to that setup. I was temporarily using ... | |
| Sold My Ayre QB-9 DSD - Help Me Choose A New DAC! Nothing against MHDT but you gotta be 100% sure about it since they have a no-return policy. I was considering one but backed out due to this very reason. I don't know how | |
| Dac Suggestions around $500 IMHO, if you're looking for a DAC around $500 then maybe better to stick with the one in the node. You're not going to get a noticeable improvement in that price range. |
