| Signal chain DAC question I have a Samsung 9x phone and very much prefer all my other dacs to it. The DragonFly Black is for example much better.If you are using it at home I would go with the Oppo and maybe even get a computer as a streamer, or an actual streamer. | |
| Best Speakers for a small Nearfield room, budget at most $10000 (used is also ok) I also think Dutch&Dutch 8 could work. Or Kii Three. If you don't want active speakers I suggest you try Booenicke W5, works great in pretty small rooms and should be good with jazz. | |
| Concrete Audio Speakers...Speaker Enclosures made out of Concrete ?.. You also have Rauna. Very good but not very practical to ship somewhere. https://rauna.com/ | |
| Looking for headphone amp/DAC I prefer my Audioquest DragonFly Black (with Jitterbug) before my iFi nano. If you can go up in price the DragonFly Red is probably even better. | |
| Recommend speakers for Hegel H190 A speaker that impressed me at show in that price range is Audio Solutions Figaro M. http://www.audiosolutions.lt/products/figaro/figaro-m | |
| How important is the source used with a DAC to obtain optimal quality from Tidal ? A Raspberry Pi could work as a streamer and improve the sound. Pay attention to the interface card and the power supply. Or buy a ready made one. Costs $100 and up. | |
| Need helpful recommendations for next two purchases +1 @kairosmanFor streaming you can try a Raspberry Pi based solution, there are a couple. You can also assemble the RPi yourself if you’re good with computers, then the cost may stay below $100.https://volumio.org/product/volumio-primo/https://orc... | |

| Speaker upgrade around 100k retail The speakers I liked the most at shows or dealers was larger Focal Utopias and Magico M6 nut these are very expensive. As someone said the MBL 101 is also really good. Try them to see if you like them, sounds different from most box speakers. I th... | |
| Speaker upgrade around 100k retail I 2nd Borresen 5 which I have heard at a show and add Stenheim. I have only heard the Alumine 3 but was very impressed and would listen their more expensive models if I could afford them.Or Bayz Acoustics. | |
| Can anything be down about this? There must be an agenda! Unless they have clipped it it should be fairly easy to improve it if you can create filters or make a program that fixes wav- or flac-files. You might not get the exact original waveform back but something that pleases your ears more.Have you tri... | |

I have heard a larger Borresen and they were ... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience One of the best imaging demos I've heard was the Bacch SP processor driving Fyne 701 speakers. Very impressive but expensive. Fynes has a lot of speakers and they seem to image very well. I was thinking about buying a pair myself. | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience Audio Physics and Boenicke image really well, I've heard them a few times at audio shows. | |
