| LAIV Harmony @audioman58 I thought you were saving for the T+A Dac 200? I know I am. | |
| Amps that don’t impersonate space heaters. Take a look at the Coda S5.5. 50 WPC Class A amp that runs cool, you can put your hand on it an leave it there. It is superb sounding, probably a little better than your Pass 30.5 according to Terry London. He has heard both amps in his system. He... | |
| New speakers for a new start? Legacy Audio Focus SE. Coda Continium # 8 Amp. | |
| Next upgrade options Coda amps are high performing and reasonable costs. Class A. | |
| Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line? @jafant Cabling is as follows: XLR between Dac and Legacy Wavelet II = WW Gold Eclipse 8. XLR between Wavelet and Coda Amp = WW Gold Eclipse 8. Power cord on Aurender n 200 is DH labs Redwawe Signature. PC on DAC, DDC and Wavelet is WW silver e... | |
| Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line? @audphile1 I sold my VAC Tubes electronics. They were old and kept needing repair. Now I am all solid state. @jafant Did a review on the Coda S5.5 and gave it high praise, and he was correct, it is outstanding in the right application. I am waiti... | |
| Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line? @audphile1 I just got the Coda S5.5 and it is impressive! | |
| LAIV Harmony Has anyone paired the LAiV with a DDC like the Denafrips Hermes and used the I2s connection? Do they pair up? | |
| Which HDMI cable for I2S? @mswale It is my understanding that I2s should be as short as possible and as close to 1 foot as possible. That will bring prices down. | |
| Impact of a DDC using SPDIF (not I2S) My findings with my Hermes is that there is slight improvements to soundstage size, depth and better bass definition. I've had it since March of 2022. I use 3 inputs, so that is convenient. | |
| Which HDMI cable for I2S? Tubulus makes specific I2s cables. I have the Argentus. https://www.tubulus.net/product/tubulus-argentus-i2s-cable/ | |
| Have you noticed as your system improves? I used to be 85-90 dB most of the time, now 75- 80 & maybe 85 on peaks. | |
| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS True, very well recorded. Many on my "reference Playlist" and just all time favorites. I am currently searching out well recorded ROCK music from the 1970, 1980, 1990 and 2000. For example I listened to MJ's Dirty Diana today, WOW! Some Pink Floy... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! We all have different systems, different preferences and there are a lot of choices so nothing is for everybody. Enjoy! | |
| Audience Front Row? @audphile1 No, I know that they put quite a few hours on it before shipping, so sometime next week I expect. |
