| DAC choices -- help me cross the line I just picked up the RME and think it's a great DAC. I think it betters my NAD M51 which sounds pretty good given that its 7 years old... Its is connected to a c-j Classic 2SE pre and a pair of Quicksilver Mid Monos running KT 77 power tubes and ... | |
| Artist you now like that you discovered through your streaming service Monophonics !!! If you like the 60' 70's soul vibe check them out. The are super talented. They have a new CD called " It's Only Us " is great , " Sound of Sinning " is the best CD I've bought in a while. " In your brain" and "Mirrors" are ex... | |
| signs that tubes need to be replaced Drifting bias is a sure sign however that could also be caused by an out of spec bias resistor. I had a matched quad of EL34 power tubes that were about 8 months old. One had "fire in the bottle" so to speak. Literally arcs and sparks in one... | |
| BlueSound Node 2i > RME ADI2 DAC > NAD 316 BEE v2 > Dali Rubicon 5 (volume too high) How did you make out? | |
| AFFORDABLE (under $1K) Best SS and Tube Amps for HD600 That's awesome !!! Enjoy .... Its such a great amp. I am now using it with a RME ADI-2 DAC and it's an incredible combo.

| Quicksilver Headphone Amp It is rated that at 30 Ohm or above. My headphones are 25 , 32, and 600 ohms , drives all of them no problem. PLENTY of power with anything I've plugged into them. | |

Also said "usb" disconnected " when unplugged.... no I'll effects.BUT if your owners manual says do not hot swap its probably ... | |
| DACs to look at? I'm getting excellent results with my Vault 2i and the RME. I bought mine from a local pro sound dealer. Parsons Audio in Wellesley MA. Great guys to deal with. | |
| high resolution streaming I have Qobuz and really like it, however some titles labeled as HiRes are identified by my DAC as 24 bit 44.1k SR. The Elvis Costello catalog has a lot of "HiRes" releases and many are identified as 24/192, others are 24/96... these are obvious... | |
| Quicksilver Headphone Amp It is 3.5 watts of single ended goodness... I just picked up the RME ADI-2 DAC and that driving the Quicksilver sounds incredible. The NAD is still a fine DAC but the RME has a quality to the bass that is palpable. You can almost hear the dru... | |

| DACs to look at? I just picked up the RME ADI -2 fs DAC and it is awesome!!! To my ears it is better than the NAD M51 it is replacing. The bass quality is the best I've ever experienced at home. It is so clear and has great detail without ever being in your fa... | |
| Beginning of a new journey... As a DAC the RME is phenomenal. It sounds great, I would have to say it's the best sounding DAC ,actually best sounding source I've owned and I have a number since the early days of DACs. It's not a bad headphone section, it is good but I h... | |
| Beginning of a new journey... Sorry for the delay. I just picked up the RME AD1-2 DAC and in the short time I've had it , I haven't used it's headphone jacks. I have listened to the Quicksilver with the RME as the source and it is an incredible combo. This DAC has a firm gr... |
