| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs I decided to go away from disc players, in general in 2020. I used to own a Marantz SA-8260 way back in 2005. The laser is a big issue in Marantz players. I had considered getting a SA10 and use it as a DAC, just in case I needed to play a disc on... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs I have dropped the idea of a disc player. I am looking forward to getting a T+A DAC 200 soon. I am currently using the Oppo UDP-205 purely in DAC mode since July 2020, feeding DSD 256 though Foobar. I have heard that the T+A performs on a complete... | |
| Qobuz Connect ??? Is it still in the works? Quobuz connect, Tidal connect "for desktop" and Spotify HiFi all are "in works"....if you know what that means | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid My guess is OP was meaning "worried" but somehow ended up with "afraid". @ritter06 , yes, worry is always on the back of mind, however much auditioning/research you have done. It took me 2.5 years and 2 AXPONA shows to finalize my current speaker... | |
| HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment +1 @dekay I am with you on your responses. Also @sudnh is right on money: Sounds more to me like you put together a poor sounding main audio system like many people do and you are now in lament. If anything I have found that the better your sy... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? @soix , but how many people here who are audiophiles and not computer techs are qualified or are willing to undertake such a project When I posted a response last night, I wanted to indicate that without being disrespectful to others or hurtin... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? @randywong , I suggest that you read dCS Guide to Computer Audio. A laptop is probably not ideal. But if you can build a desktop (especially a fanless) with minimal components. For the initial build you can have wireless, blue-tooth, and other s... | |
| Tube Rolling | Luxman CL-38uc @oimuller , try the Psvane Horizon 12AU7. They are not warm though. | |
| PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread It's been about a month now, that I started listening to the Psvanes. I don't want to make it sound like they are x or y or z. But the fact is that they have not diminished my listening experience. And I am happy that I can choose to listen to my ... | |
| SACD Players OP, Have you thought of picking a used Sony/Pioneer bluray players from eBay and using that to extract DSF/DFF files from your SACD and then using an external DAC to play them? The initial outlay for the bluray player should be between $30-$100 d... | |
| Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120 @ullogu1 You are not a disappointing person at all. But your words "dark" probably means something different than what I might have thought. This thread asks for speakers for a "dark amplifier". Does it mean that the designer did not want a neutr... | |
| Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120 +100 @soix Looks like the Gryphon 120 owners seems to look for bandaid instead. And the following statement confirms this: Without that complimentary speaker in place, it’s as if the treble energy got turned down by a hidden soundboard master ... | |
| Windows Sound Basics - ASIO WASAPI etc I like to use ASIO drivers when possible. And you can build your own FANLESS audio server with the components YOU choose. I have a separate system build in my system page, to share my experience with forum members. And I love the way the system m... | |
| Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120 ProAc K1 should sound very good in that room. | |
| Upgrade speakers or DAC I have listened to the SF speakers you have. Pretty good loudspeakers. But I would bet the jump from Cambridge to dCS would show you what your speakers are capable off. That can keep you satisfied for a year or two. Save and then jump to a much mo... |
