| Dated but still A rated DACs Ayre QB-9 DSD is still an amazing unit. Digital doesn't get much better, and certainly not at the price point you can find a used one. | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 Having just gone through this, I ended up with an Ayre qb-9 DSD. I know I can sell this and not lose any money should it not live up to my expectations. I looked at the Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ but didn't want to deal with some of the support issues ... | |
| Pass Labs 250.8/250.5 or mark levinson 532h I don't think you can go wrong with either option. I may give the nod towards Levinson due to the synergy between brands (Revel). | |
| Are Aerial 10T's still considered a Good speaker on 2018? The 10T's are fantastic speakers. I've had mine for many years and still have not grown tired of them. | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? Let's talk about that BMW pedigree when it comes to sell a 10 year old BMW vs a 10 year old Lexus. ;)Again... buy whatever you like it's still a somewhat - free country. LOL | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? I am just a realist audioguru22, I know myself and eventually I like to upgrade which means I need to sell my older gear. I've watched lots of new products/companies come and go.... and what those products sell for after the initial buzz wears of... | |

Give it some time... there is a never-ending stream of "flavors of the month/giant killers" that are eventually replaced by the next.I prefer the tried and true blue chip manufacturers and the re-sale value they offer.Not saying PS Audio is not qu... | |
| HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! I would highly recommend you consider the Parasound A21. | |
| Does a streamer do anything to the data that Tidal provides? A streamer should not do anything to the data other than transport it, unless you're asking it to. | |
| Brands that have the least depreciation Stick to blue chip brands - Mark Levinson, Pass, Audio Research, Ayre, Krell, etc. | |
| Which DAC from this list sounds best with my system: Atoll, Micromega, PS Audio, Simaudio? I have been happy with the MyDAC for many years. | |
| Conrad Johnson vs. Audio Research - Sonic Comparison Impressions C-J has always had more of the classic tubey sound to my ears which is a little fatter and warmer. ARC has inched closer to solid state sound while still being able to capture the meat of the tube sound in the mids where they matter most.While no... | |
| Powering DALI Euphonia ms5, Pass Labs X350.8 vs. McIntosh MC452? Agree with plutos. IMO the two aren't even in the same league. | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) Parasound - esp the JC1'sLevinson | |
| ARC Ref 5se inferior to LS28? In my experience the REF's are always better than the LS's. I think this tactic is a gateway to get you out of your old REF, into the current LS and then ultimately to the new REF.The tubed power supply is significant. |
