| Any way to listen to wav or high bit files with anything approaching audiophile sound? BTW I don't consider anything less than a Yggdrasil an "audiophile grade" DAC. Certainly not the Chinese toy junk (Topping, SMSL, etc). Source quality improves noise / digital hash reduction. Get a CD transport like the Audiolabs which is very wel... | |
| Pure tube phono preamp You can find all-tube MC phonos which can handle LOMC without any kind of SUT or SS front end, just pure tubes, from China. Look at AliExpress. I bought a specific unit the Lite Audio LS26 which was a little under $400. Supposedly it's clone of an... | |
| Any way to listen to wav or high bit files with anything approaching audiophile sound? It's funny the OP is asking for audiophile grade digital and the responses are suggesting toy junk like Blue Node and Pro-Ject, etc. | |
| Anybody added a full vinyl setup to system? And? Bought a MoFi StudioDeck with the MoFi cart that it came with and an iPhono 2 with a linear power supply from AliExpress. This system was superior to my digital. Upgraded to an AT-OC9/III cart which was major upgrade. From this experience I upgrad... | |
| So what ever happened to Kinki Studio??? The reality the amps aren't as impressive as the universally ultra positive reviews make them out to be. I never heard one but just looking at the internals made me suspicious of it. It looks like a low-cost simple design sold at a hefty markup. F... | |
| Class D @art_boston it's a generalization but one that seems to be borne out time and again. It's what's made my forays into class D so frustrating. | |
| Class D Something to keep solidly in mind when reading about how wonderful this or that class D module is that the commentator probably doesn't have even a decent system and his standards are very low. That seems to be the general rule with people praisin... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? Well, I installed the VTV input boards and Sparkos opamps today. I won’t post immediate findings because those are always defunct within a day or two so I’ll let it burn in for the time being. | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? If I report that the Purifi is, in fact, junk -- for midrange problems or just as overall lack of engagement (the real reason why you sold the Peachtree probably) would that influence your decision? My guess is -- almost certainly not. In my exper... | |
| Best integrated for my needs???? So....why can't the high-end industry build a decent linear all-in-one integrated for budget consumers? They know what kind of circuits sound good. Why not build a basic version of these designs using cheap but not-awful parts, use simple casework... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I've been told by experienced audiophiles here and elsewhere that the default Hypex board is junk, so in order to give it a fair shake I ordered a set of custom ones from VTV. I think it's pretty obvious I'm not doing this just to make you feel ba... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? @djones I'd definitely be willing to do a blind test, but understand that's a pretty tall order when we're talking about comparing amps. In reality your requirement for blind testing is just a roadblock to protect egos and confirm biases. Listenin... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I'm one of the few people online who actually tries things and reports my findings accurately. I do understand that most don't actually want to read critical information about a product, they just want to have their bias confirmed. I've learned th... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? I didn't use the King Crimson as the final arbiter, it's just that when I heard the VTV blur the chime percussions into a mess I got angry and decided I was done. I'll look into this Tony Minasian.But, once again, I've been talked into trying some... | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? I have yet to hear any digital out of my system (CD player, CD transport, custom audio server) which beats my vinyl system (Triangle Art table + TA speed controller + TA Zeus + Reed 2A arm + Hashimoto SUT + Chinese all-tube phono). The key factor ... |
