| More money toward better speakers or a better DAC? You can get an insight to NOS here. I have no idea what a tube does in a DAC other than add distortion.http://archimago.blogspot.com/2018/11/nos-vs-digital-filtering-dacs-exploring.html | |
| Msb dacs why not alot of postings I cant imagine there would be any major advantage to adding a high end DAC in the system but would be interested to hear others thoughts. Kii is correct there would be no reason to add any DAC the preferred method of input is digital unless you’r... | |
| More money toward better speakers or a better DAC? Some $200 Chinese DACs are better than some $2K,5K, etc.. It's a very misguided notion that price equates quality. Especially in DACs. | |
| More money toward better speakers or a better DAC? Are we all ‘cheaping’ out by not spending more for a better dac?This is a common misconception in digital audio. Price and better have nothing to do with each other when it comes to DACs. That ship sailed long ago. | |
| Siemens 20 amp breaker for dedicated lines ^^absolutely, follow code | |
| More money toward better speakers or a better DAC? No, you can buy transparent DACs for under$200. Speakers and room interaction along with source media accounts for 80% of what you hear. | |
| ...bookshelf speakers that sound good at low volume... Swap the JBLs for active JBLs in the LSR range. | |
| Msb dacs why not alot of postings By advising them to not buy with their eyes but their ears. I've never had a $99 DAC what's that got to do with anything. | |
| Msb dacs why not alot of postings No, I'm saying I have the Dutch and Dutch 8c. I considered the Kii 3. Hopefully the 8c will become roon ready at some point, they're working on it. You sir are an insufferable bore. I don't judge people on what they can afford. I'll try to help so... | |
| The value of "Legacy" DACs vs new? W4S might have done a better job implementing the 9018 back when , than some do now with the 9038. The 9038 has a known issue with a "hump" that needs to be addressed some companies have done a better job than others. The Benchmark DAC3 still uses... | |
| Msb dacs why not alot of postings That's correct I haven't the slightest idea what DAC I'm using if you know which DAC is used in Dutch and Dutch 8c's then you know more than me. I'm not sure what's used in the Kii 3 and I still would advise the OP to give them a listen with the B... | |
| The value of "Legacy" DACs vs new? There are some DACs that still use the ESS 9018 chip that's in yours. You could get a DAC with the newer chipsets I'm not sure how much better they would sound. | |
| Msb dacs why not alot of postings My question is why are you addressing me. My comments are to the OP. You can pound dirt. | |
| Msb dacs why not alot of postings Actually I have no idea what DAC I'm using they have become that irrelevant. | |
| Msb dacs why not alot of postings Good idea nyaudio98 , if you get a chance listen to the Mola Mola to compare. If I had the money to waste that's probably the one I would buy, unless I bought the Kii 3 with the BXT stack. If you're in NY try Legendary Audio Pro and give them a li... |
