| HiFi Rose RS150B vs. Eversolo DMP-A10 @josephp732 Just watched this Gustard X30 review, and he has the same Accuphase you have Man, many people are loving this latest Gustard- this X30 is a render/has a Roon endpoint- download Jplay and stream Qobuz/Tidal and you might be happy? H... | |
| HiFi Rose RS150B vs. Eversolo DMP-A10 Ever since owning a Linn CD player I have been one with their philosophy of "source first- garbage in = garbage out" It is not clear if you fixed at that price point: With that principle if sound quality is a top concern you should be matching y... | |
| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs What did @kinarow1 end up doing, by the way? | |
| what dacs are fast, lively, energetic? I never thought I would suggest looking at Topping, but here is a good review of the new Topping d90 III discrete - , discrete meaning it is not like their other DAC’s, it is not a R2R it is a single bit DAC. Sandu, great reviewer, talks about ex... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? I’d love to have a 100 song Jazz playlist. So what’ch got for me? You got your 100 songs yet? If you already have that many jazz cd’s, one of them must be Dave Brubeck- Time out. You’re right- it ended up being a great thread- there are plent... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? It's been mentioned several times, worth a mention again- must be at the top of the list for "jazz for the beginners" due to the rigid timing structure and sax melody Take Five- Brubeck You must be familiar with it already @fthompson251 ? What... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? I don’t dislike Mcintosh, but I did own a Mcintosh pre and a set of power amps years ago and moved on. Notice my handle on here starts with "mc". I will add that I brought my $2000 Apollon class D amp to this fellows house, and we plugged it in p... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @efoo After visiting a fellow audiophile a while back and doing some cable swapping in his system containing a brand new Mcintosh pre/amp combo, I would say if someone was wanting to discern differences between cables or other upstream component... | |
| Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled I'm jealous of you guys with access to the cable company. | |
| Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled Meantime I’m researching alternatives just in case. I know Christiaan Punter is a big fan of Mad Scientist stuff. Have you checked out his USB reviews? - 30 day trial if you don't mind shipping to/from down under. Mad Scientist | |
| Final Touch Sinope USB? This might be worth a read: Christiaan compares it to his 2022 USB favourite Sinope. https://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/review/cables-reviews/reviews-digital-cable/mad-scientist-audio-prime-usb/ | |
| what dacs are fast, lively, energetic? Do you have speakers that can keep up? I went from my exasound to my weiss, and I don't think it got any "speedier". My Magneplanar's definitely deliver a fast sound, no overhang in the bass department. Since you are in Canada look up exaSou... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! @arafiq Oh! I didn't realize you already had them! Silly me. Yeah, it not a typical footprint under the maggies. I would love to hear from someone who has tried this GR crossover mod and is willing to share their experience. So would I- I did... | |
| +1 I Like It! So I have been listening to Blues for K via Qobuz, and loved it, have it in my favourites, and now it it gone from Qobuz! I can't even purchase it! Really strange because it is available on Spotify. I could buy the CD I suppose, but no hi res ... | |
| Streamer question Despite them having the worst customer service on the planet w/Comcast being it's only competitor ....if you just stream it's likely a great product. I will admit, I hate the corporate definition of "call us for assistance" equates to "post in ... |
