| Burmester 218..... What a train wreck of a thread, thanks @zuesman for sucking the life out of it. Not sure why you can’t start your own Sim or Sim/Burmester comparison thread instead of sh*tting all over this one. | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued It’s not the genre, I listen to a lot of music in this genre, it was likely the condescension that your first thread started with. | |
| current and ex-Sonus faber & McIntosh integrated amp (combo) owners - question for you I don’t know what your budget is but given the power handling range of the speakers you’re looking at you might consider the MA9500 @ 300 watts. It also has autoformers like the 8950. The 352 @ 320 watts @ 4 ohms might be a better match power wi... | |
| Speakers for low-level listening I would suggest adjusting your five band equalizer to see if you can get the sound you want at low level with your current speakers before purchasing anything new. I have an MA8900 and due to my neighbors (I live in a townhome) my late night list... | |
| Help with Denafrips Iris 12th to Ares 12th-1 - I2S, no audio There are test tones you can download from denafrips to confirm the correct configuration once you get it passing a signal. | |
| Help with Denafrips Iris 12th to Ares 12th-1 - I2S, no audio Have you configured the I2S connection/output between the Iris and the Aries? Not all hdmi cables will work with I2S. I agree with @nwres to try another interconnect just to make sure you are getting a signal from the Iris to the Aries and you a... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers for Luxman 590axii? A few things come to mind as differences: The Fritz is a fuller sound particularly given the lower end extension down to 37Hz. They are rear ported. It’s a more balanced speaker wrt its flat response curve. It does not accentuate any particular ... | |
| Can someone explain the clock sync? It should sync the Hermes internal clock with the Terminator clock as the master. It is intended to reduce jitter. | |
| Can someone explain the clock sync? This should help https://youtu.be/db3YaZnZcuE?t=187&si=v-IymvSihryqKfIb | |
| Can someone explain the clock sync? If it’s set up correctly it should sync to the clock in the DAC. I’ve never set it up since I have my Hermes connected to a Pontus II so I can’t help you there but there should be videos on the Denafrips site that can help you confirm your setup. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers for Luxman 590axii? I have Fritz speakers and they are easy to drive and sound outstanding. I also have a pair of Falcon Acoustic Q7s which are similar to the Graham LS3/5s. Neither is a very efficient speaker. I think both are rated near 83db with the Falcon at 15 ... | |
| current and ex-Sonus faber & McIntosh integrated amp (combo) owners - question for you I have an 8900 and really enjoy it. Ive not spent anytime with a direct coupled McIntosh amp so I can’t tell you how they compare. I find my 8900 to be very musical to my ears and plays the music I listen to most often extremely well (classic ro... | |

| Should I add a DDC? I don’t know about streaming the test tones. The link I posted earlier will download a zip file so likely you will need a computer hooked up to your ddc to play them. If you have a Mac then it’s easy just connect your Mac via USB. If you have a... | |
| Should I add a DDC? You can get some test tones here I think https://www.denafrips.com/config-i2s You need to check left right and phase to make sure it’s all working correctly. |
