| McIntosh, your experience? Admired the look of McIntosh from afar for many years. For the life of me I don't know why I haven't owned any until recently. I've been through a ton of gear the last 35 years and finally did a MAC home audition a few months ago. I was able to... | |
| Tempted to buy a Macintosh I recently swapped out a PS Audio BHK pre and BHK 300's for a C2700 and MC611's. I was able to home audition the gear side by side. The BHK stuff is quite good, but the MAC is a definite upgrade in my system.More authoritative bass and mid-bass,... | |
| Auralic Lightning DS App I'm another former Roon user and LDS checks all the boxes for me. I have the Auralic G2/GX stack and it functions and sounds fantastic. | |
| AURALiC ARIES G1 or G2 streamer One major advantage of the G2 vs. the G1 is the ability to connect to other G2/GX components via Lightning Link. If you're not planning on going with other G2/GX components I believe you would be very happy with the G1.However, connecting the Ari... | |
| Auralic vs Aurender wjt3- there is no HDMI connection of the G1, only on the G2/GX series.It is not compatible with the I2S on the DSD, only as Lightning Link exclusively between the Auralic components. I have an Aries G2 and it sounds fantastic streaming to the PSA... | |
| Auralic Vega G2 vs Aries G2 While I can't comment (yet) on the Vega G2 specifically I can on the Aries G2. I have had one in my system for two months and my experience parallels nickaspappas's: streaming with the Aries is nothing short of spectacular. I stream hi-res Tidal... | |
| Auralic Vega G2 DAC with an Esoteric Master Clock Have you done any tube rolling in your Mac pre? My speakers have AMT tweeters which tend to be on the warm side. I rolled tubes in my BHK pre and knew immediately when I found the right ones. When I added the Auralic Aries G2 it didn't make my s... | |
| Auralic Vega G2 DAC with an Esoteric Master Clock How would you describe the two tonal qualities? | |
| Auralic Vega G2 DAC with an Esoteric Master Clock No worries. Why not consider the upcoming Auralic Sirius G2? Don't know if you are going to do much better feeding the signal from the Grandioso through the Auralic stack. Spent a little time today scouring for any reviews I could find. Posted ... | |
| Wait For PS Audio TSS Super Dac Or Go With Auralic G2/GX Stack Now? According to this review the Vega G2/Leo GX should be on the short list for those of us streaming hi-res content.https://hometheaterhifi.com/reviews/dac/auralic-vega-g2-dac-leo-gx-master-clock-review/?fbclid=IwAR2..."I don’t know how much better d... | |
| Auralic Vega G2 DAC with an Esoteric Master Clock sudhirgoel, we exchanged a couple of posts in your last thread. Ahhh, the audiophile waltz. Please help choreograph each perfect move to audio nirvana!! I would venture a guess that not one member of this forum has and exact system replica of ... | |
| Confused State of affairs: CD player Congratulations! Enjoy, I'm sure it sounds fantastic. Seems like the Leo GX will be the foundational piece (and most expensive) with upgrades to G3, G4 etc.. One thing PS Audio does that is super cool is update the FPGA with new software updates... | |
| Confused State of affairs: CD player Given the rest of your system why don't you buy the Esoteric Grandioso K1 and be done with it. Are you going to be happy with the MCD600 considering you can't "unhear" the Esoteric transport? I appreciate discovering the absolute best source or f... | |
| Confused State of affairs: CD player Sudhirgoel,Since I spin discs rarely these days I'm not presented with the transport dilemma. One you may want to consider is the PS Audio DMP. Recently discontinued (utilized Oppo drives) you would have to see if any dealers have new stock or f... | |
| PS Audio Directstream Junior Owner - Still beneficial to buy a separate server/streamer? I went from a Bridge II in the DS senior to an Auralic Aries G2. No comparison, the Aries sounds much better. Others that have the DS jr, and Aries G1 report much better sound vs. the internal bridge as well.I dropped Roon (really like it as an ... |
