| Proper DAC Upgrade for my modest system. I ended up going with the Schiit Saga to remove the Sony from the 2ch setup, still allowed me to bi amp the front speakers, and use it as a HT pass. I am still running the Wadia 122 DAC at the moment, I am toying with the idea of upgrading the wal... | |
| Proper DAC Upgrade for my modest system. Seems like a lot of people are suggesting I remove the Sony from the 2ch setup.Schitt Saga - Seems like a pre amp that has 0 gain and I could use as a bypass for HT - But use to filter the Wadia into - then into my amp - It even has two RCA out's ... | |
| Need DAC/Streaming Advice Like mahler123 above, I I also encountered significant problems with Bluesound and ended up returning. I initially purchased the older Node 2 and Puse 2 about a year ago. Used them for 3 months and then sold as I could not deal with the bugs I e... | |
| Proper DAC Upgrade for my modest system. I thought so. That's where I go. Ask John if you can borrow the RME he usually has a demo unit available. . I have my RME w/a Bluesound node into a Luxman CL38U-SE tube preamp. Aerial 5T speakers and a Bryston 2.5 SST2 amp. I've dealt w/John for o... | |
| Proper DAC Upgrade for my modest system. I use Audio Therapy in NH, also stop by BB Magnolia once in awhile as they are a design center. | |
| Proper DAC Upgrade for my modest system. I have the RME ADI-2 DAC and it really is a fantastic unit. I tested it against some DAC's at twice and 3X the price and the RME beat them all. Price and feature set is unbeatable. Plus there are features on this DAC you won't find in most DAC's. ... | |
| Proper DAC Upgrade for my modest system. You don’t need to go north of 2500 Get a used chord Hugo 2, that dac will provide a definite sonic upgrade, or a used mytek Brooklyn+ both can be had used for under 2kNot sure I want to, or would see the benefit of going that high in price point. ... | |
| Proper DAC Upgrade for my modest system. You made a good choice. It is a better DAC than the zDAC as you have already observed and it matches your system well. Your KEF R1haha Solid advice, I pulled the trigger on the Wadia because I got it at a steal.. I think? I was just making sure in... | |
| Proper DAC Upgrade for my modest system. Addendum:I guess you need to keep the AVR Pre for BiAmping though? I use a Sony ES3100 for home theater purpose, simply use the aux passthrough to control volume through on source. New Sony ES series has a pretty clean passthrough from what I have... | |
| Proper DAC Upgrade for my modest system. Appreciate the feedback, I guess in short I was asking for a recommendation based on current system. I have AQ rocket 44’s Bi amped KEF r11’s b&k amp - from everything I have read would have to spend north of 2k to even come close to an “upgra... | |
| Proper DAC Upgrade for my modest system. Well I upgraded to the R11's, and now feel like the weak spot in the whole system is the DAC seeing its a 150~ dollar used Parasound dac. I don't have a dedicated listening room at the moment, maybe when I pull the trigger on a house in the next 1... | |
| Rookie, Considering Either Martin Logan XT60's OR Kef R700's Set Me Straight Folks!... Not sure if you are still in the market or not.. I am in the Boston area with a pair of ML 60XT's in mint condition I will probably be selling... if you are interested. | |
| New to DAC, need advice. What are you using to push Tidal to the S2 Box? | |
| Streaming Audio - Yamaha WXC-50 I am pretty impressed with this little unit, but unfortunately the "audio quest" always leaves you wondering if there is more on the table... thats the dangerous side of it. I was thinking of hooking up a better DAC to it, the only downside I can ... | |
| Outlaw 7125 VS B&K Reference 127.7 S2 I think my options are just limited as i need something under 8~ inches are so to fit, and I live in a complex so I can't really "crank" it yet. So these two amps seem to fit that bill as of now. |
