| Too many DAC decisions I think you are right on about getting little help by auditioning a DAC or any other gear in the context of a totally different system at a dealer. If you were using a dealer they should just let you take it home anyway isn't that what a good deal... | |
| Too many DAC decisions Why don't you ask advice right here? List your gear and listening preferences and see what you get back. If you are so uncertain of what to do why not try a used cheaper DAC like the EE minimax or Benchmark or even a MHDT Paradisea or Havana. You ... | |
| It's all local now I think you're wrong in thinking the end all be all way to see a band is in a huge stadium. Those have been the worst shows ive ever been to. I remember seeing pink Floyd about 20 years ago and you could see the drummer hit the drum and then 1/2 s... | |
| Best Vibraplane Compressor Substitute? So you have the active version? I thought the active version always kept the vipraplane perfectly tuned and level and the compressor turned on and off as needed? If you have the version that you manually adjust the height on then you can just use ... | |
| Album Of The Year 2011 I'd go with VHS head "trademark ribbons of gold" | |
| Cd player w/ digital input + volume control $2500 I haven't tried all the hot DACs of the moment but I've had a few and I would not hesitate to include the MHDT Paradisea + DAC into any sstem and be confident you are getting great sound. Very very big bang for the buck is that DAC and it's a tube... | |
| Previous Wavelength Cosecant/Cosine Owners Not sure if I had the transcendental module in mine or not but I had the cosecant V3 and I decided to try out the MHDT Paradisea + DAC which I bought direct for something like 600. Well to my surprise at 1/5th the price of the Cosecant I liked the... | |
| Cd player w/ digital input + volume control $2500 I think you would be better off to get a good DAC. I've owned both the Wadia 860x and Audio Areo Capitole Mk 2 as well as a few other great CD players by Ayre and Meridian and to me they were all bettered by a DAC and a mac mini playing back the f... | |
| Which active speaker for under $650. I have the Quads and the Audioengine and the Quads are Way better in my opininon. Also some of the pro model Dynaudios might be pretty good. I've had my eye on powered speakers too. The Quads are nice and very very nice looking the finish on them ... | |
| Cd player w/ digital input + volume control $2500 Wadia, Audio Aero players will do that and should be available for the price you want to pay. | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? Personally I would stick with the more well known brands. The biggest losses I've incurred in hifi have been from buying into the hype of the latest greatest from an unknown brand. If you stick with the well known brands like bryston you at least ... | |
| Looking for DAC for mac min 2000$ How about the bryston BDA1? I use one with my Mac mini and it sounds and works great and is the best sounding DAC I have used so far. I run from my mini via USB to a bel canto USB link then into a RCA input on the BDA1. There are plenty of inputs,... | |
| Mark Hollis/ Talk Talk Yeah def some of my favorite of all time stuff | |
| $1000 player or dac recommendation Yeah it would be useful to know if you are only planning on playing CDs if so then I think the biggest bang fir the buck would be with a CD player. The meridian 508 is a really good sounding player. If you are thinking you want a DAC and want a tu... | |
| "Neutral/Clear Amp vs. Dark Amp" Also consider the parasound JC 1 if you can deal with te size and heat. They were very good sounding with my Von schweikert vr 4 sr speakers. |
