| 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. | |
| HELP ADVICE FEEDBACK PS Audio BHK 300 - Hegel H30 - Pass Labs X250.8 or Pass X350.5 amp Thanks for the update fsmithjack.I'm happy to hear you are as pleased with the 326 as I am.

| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? More impressions? | |
| Since Dennis Had left Cary has the company built any new tube equipment? Cary lost all of it's soul when Dennis left. Now it's just another company slinging "me too" products IMO. It's really sad, but the current trend it seems. | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? Robert,I'm very interested in your findings as I'm extremely interested in the DAC+ for MQA. Please keep us posted!Thanks,Jim | |

| D'Agostino Progression monoblocks replacing my Theta Prometheus monoblocks Not surprised, I always thought Theta gear was over-hyped. | |
| Power Cords for Parasound I use Audioquest NRG-4 with good results. I haven't tried that many cords however but they were an improvement over the OEM's.Any 15 amp cord should be fine from a safety standpoint. Sounds like the manual has a typo, 60 amps is a ton of current. | |
| Ayre QB-9 DSD or Codex? After doing a bit more research I'm not also looking at the Mytek Brooklyn+ which supports MQA, comes in around $2k new and has a 30 day in-home trial.I know the QB-9 fairly well and enjoyed it, but MQA intrigues me and I am a Tidal user.DAC techn... |
