Who has heard the Wyred4sound 10th Anniversary DAC?
Ive been curious about the 2v2SE dac. Nice its a USA company and looks well built but only found 1 review 2017. Found a few used for sale , not 10th anniversary, but the 2v2SE at way below retail price. Not sure if it is due to their lack of popu... 
Truly Stunning Vinyl Album
Analog Productions has great quality versions. The classic Getz/Gilberto with The Girl From Ipanema. Fun, classy, great sound. The Wonderful Sounds of Female Vocals. When some of these songs came on radio in the day I'd turn them off in a heartb... 
Speakers that disappear
Ive had some very good soundstage affects but, never made my Maggie 1.7i s disappear  however, another " cheating way" as mentioned, listening in the dark or in my case dimly lit room really changes the visual / accustic dimension. I also project ... 
Listening Room
After becoming empty nesters, I coverted a 20' x 30' space to a listening room. Built up rig and room for listening. Sound absorbtion, diffusers, lighting accents, big recliner stayed at apex of speaker triangle. Wife and I shared the listening sw... 
Music first or sound first?
For critical listening SQ is a big factor. Now that my ears have been spoiled with a fairly good rig I cant even listen to some of my old favorite songs that are fair to poor recordings. I think better systems bring out the best in good recordings... 
Let's Talk DAC's
@desperado915 you might want to check into Keces LPS. They offer units with  2 outputs with a variety of voltage settings. I just picked up the P6 to replace my BS Node 2i sps plus I can replace the wart on my J2 with the 2nd output. I tired the...

Excuse this sidetrack,  but does anyone know why "report this" in blue text was put on my last post here? If I broke a rule, I wasnt aware. Cant find any admin contact to ask. Thanks.  
Let's Talk DAC's
Chuckhoness.. I hope you didnt pay $600.00 for the J2. Its $250.00 USD on Geshelli home site. Yes, it can be upgraded a bit, but $600.00 looks very high. I got the the J2 to bypass my Bluesound Node 2i internal dac. Its better, but Im not so sur... 
DACs with switchable high/low gain (output) settings
Geshelli J2 dac has 3 position gain control. Several very good reviews on YT on this dac for its price. Cheap Audio Man is one. I had very good customer service from them. A mom pop team in FL.

A review of the most DACs in one post from a long time audiophile is "dacs that Ive had in my system" by jjss49. Sorry, dont know how to post link.  
LPS for Node 2i. Acopian?
Notlistening, PD finally did reply, but cost over $100 + $43 for shipping to US. Dont know where you found different. Between PDs cost and their slow response I went with LHY $95 with tax, free shipping,, extended return time, quick replys from v... 
LPS for Node 2i. Acopian?
Thanks marco1. I still havent heard back from PD Creative after a week and 2 emails. I tired another brand of an upgrade board for the Node 2i and that didnt workout so I guess Ill go with LHY board, but leaning toward Acopian LPS as hilde45 used.   
LPS for Node 2i. Acopian?
Hilde45 nice gear! Did you build the Q diffusers? Is that a new listening room in progress? I am gald to see your using an Acopian. Which filter upgrade board did you use for your Node / Node 2i? I may have to go with the LHY. At least theyve be... 
Gustard R26 - good but not the one
R26 or Pontus now Cutest in running. I stream Qobuz on BS Node2i w Geshelli J2 dac. I like the Node 2i 's Bluos app and overall sound is good. This is my 1st streamer and dac. My quality recorded lps sound much better. My ears are use to analog... 
dacs that I have had in my system - a listing
Thank you jjss49 for such an informative post. Im way out of your league in DACs, but happy you use Magi 1.7i s as I do. You mentioned direct connect to amp if gain control exists. Does anyone know if it is safe to connect my Geshelli J2 DAC wit...
