| Beryllium Tweeters Given it appears in various sources that Materion (the sole supplier) is going to be discontinuing the manufacture of beryllium foil that is used in tweeters, is there any insight as to what will be replacing that material? Carbon fiber? Silk? A... | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k The world needs a new DAC shoot-out! | |
| Marantz vs. Oppo or Theta @erik_squires You did not offend me. I was just pointing out that the Theta Digital Casablanca V ("CB5") is a unique preamp/processor -- and extraordinarily flexible, too. I also happen to own an OPPO 203, but it is not anywhere like the OPPO 2... | |
| PS Audio PerfectWave SACD Transport? The PS Audio PerfectWave SACD uses an I2S (HDMI) output while the Bricasti DAC uses an RJ-45 which input. They are fundamentally incompatible. | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. There are so many very good to great DACs these days! I went to AXPONA earlier this month just to listen to as many DACs as I could (and there were quite a few). I ended up purchasing a Bricasti M21. Why, you may ask. I have perhaps an unusual exp... | |
| Bricasti M3 vrs Meitner MA3 Are you at a place yet, Rob, where you feel comfortable offering your thoughts regarding a comparison between your Bricasti and Meitner DACs. | |
| Opinions on PS Audio Direct Stream DAC (Mk 1) My primary audio dealer has been encouraging me to purchase an all PS Audio setup: DS MkII: Air Lens; and SACD transport. What gives me serious pause is the really mediocre measurement results published in its Stereophile review. How canthey be re... | |
| Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday I visited his store from time to time when I live in New York in the late 1970s. It was always a delight -- sort of like when my wife and I perused the street floor of Tiffany's. Here is Andrew's brief obituary: Andrew Neil Singer - September 16,... | |
| Metner MA3 vs Playback Designs MPD-6 Your description was very helpful, for which I thank you. Why do you think that this Meitner DAC is so unknown, particularly given its performance/price ratio? | |
| Quite a few Bricasti M21 DACs for sale cheap If I am not mistaken, the M21 also has a third DAC - which is a one-bit converter for DSD streams. This additional DAC is ideal for utilizing the DSD output of SACDs as well as for converting high-resolution audio files downloaded from sources suc... | |
| Quite a few Bricasti M21 DACs for sale cheap I listened to both the M21 and the Grimm MU2 at AXPONA 2024 last week. Both are outstanding in many regards, but the Grimm may be a bit better in depth and in resolution. Playing the 4th movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony through the MU2 was a r... | |
| What DAC/HA/Streamer should I audition at Axpona in April? Dealer comments welcome, too. I am at AXPONA now. Respecting your upper price limit, I suggest two: the Limin T3 and the aSPL Director, at $4,950 abd $4,200, respectively,. | |
| Axpona 2024 Notice-Audiophile Society Board Members- Will there be any sort of multi-channel demo? | |
| Surround Theater Speakers Suggestions Your surround speakers are supportive, not primary like the left, center, and right speakers. I have a very high-end theater installation, but, after a lot of investigation, I ended up purchasing Arendal 1723 THX speakers as my surround speakers. ... | |
| Shopping for a DAC at AXPONA A couple of people I really respect have opined that the Grimm Audio MU2 is the one streamer/DAC to rule them all. Are they right? (Its price is at the midpoint of the other candidates.) |
