| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC Honestly it is a turn off.... Although other folks in the biz contribute and I find them knowledgeable and very diplomatic about over stepping boundaries. | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC I went from the Vault 2i which served me well to the Aurender N200 and love it. It is built like a tank and support is excellent. You can find one used at the top of your budget | |
| Denafrips 12 anniversary No refund or possibility of demo? Of course it sounds great, you're stuck with it.... $7500 Chinese DACs are a good value? C'mon. There is about $7k profit built into that price. Nothing racist , it's called capitalism. Stop with the woke... | |
| Denafrips 12 anniversary Plenty written on this .... | |

| Denafrips 12 anniversary If you like solid state the upper level Moon DACs are great. The Merason DAC is less money , made in Switzerland. Sounds great. Those are just two DACs I have heard in the last few months that would make me drop $5 or$6k | |
| Denafrips 12 anniversary Yes, you'll save money with the Bricasti too !!!! | |
| Denafrips 12 anniversary Big time money grab. Dozens of tiny , cheap Chinese caps populating the board. Not if they will fail, when. micro skipping in any DAC is inexcusable , happens often. Where is the value proposition here? That’s serious money | |
| Denafrips 12 anniversary Ridiculous pricing.... a little more and you can get real world class digital. Bricasti, T + A, MSB... to call something "12 th Anniversary " is equally silly. | |
| Emission Labs Tube Warranty Problems Thanks for the heads up on EML. Was thinking of buying their 274b and type 80 but I can't support an outfit with apparently such bad customer service . Thanks for the heads up | |
| Help recommend a good tube preamp All potentially good choices. I recommended the Zesto because it has everything under the hood. RCA , XLR, 2 pair RCA out, two pair XLR out , transformer coupled inputs and outputs. Unbelievable sound, super quiet, dynamic , detailed .... O... | |
| Help recommend a good tube preamp I would suggest the Zesto Leto Ultra II preamp. I had the original Leto with the ESP power supply upgrade and it sounded amazing The latest model is even better. | |
| Vacuum Tube Break-in I will run things in with FM in the background. I believe speakers have break in , but it's short. Electronics, I'm not so sure. I think it's a mix of maybe a slight change and you as a listener acclimating to the new "sound" . I know thi... | |
| Advice on equipment Klipsch announced an upgrade for the Forte III to Forte IV, you could maybe find a pair of III around your budget and do the mod when funds allow. Forte III is a very capable speaker. | |
| DACs with Preamp Stages, Pt 2 I have the RME and while I really wasn't a fan of it driving my amp direct, it does have several output settings to achieve the correct gain. Still it wasn't a great match with my amp(s) The RME has a setting called Auto Reference for the vo... |
