| Re-Foam Kit for ML Monolith Available? Many thanks. I wasn't sure how much variation there may be with the outside diameter, design of the roll, and thickness or pliability of the material. | |
| Has anyone compared Emotiva amps to high end amps? I own a XA-5 and compared it to a Krell FPB-660.I was very surprised at how well it did. It is not, however a Krell FPB.The main difference I heard, in my very short evaluation, was in the upper midrange up. Female vocals, for example were a bit m... | |
| Has anyone compared Emotiva amps to high end amps? Has anyone ever compared the XA-1 to a Krell FPB amp? | |
| Mark Levinson No. 334 vs 23.5 Just my two cents ...I truly loved ML equipment abd think thry have designed some of the finest components around but I would not consider purchasing them anymore. They have essentially turned into throw away items. Repair is so expensive itÂ’s jus... | |
| DAC1 Pre or DAC1 USB with Passive? Thanks Dne & StonedeafIt's nice to hear about experience from another person with a passive preamp. It's a great gauge for me. Is's also great to hear about the EAD comparison - that's a very nice DAC. The reliability report and comment regard... | |
| DAC1 Pre or DAC1 USB with Passive? Thank you Bob & Kenny.That's very helpful information. I originally was considering the new PerfectWave DAC but alas my financial situation will not permit it. 3K forthe base unit plus .5K for the bridge and an additional .4K for the NAS unit ... | |
| Bel Canto and Digital Volume Control In regards to the attenuator IC - Is there a pin compatible version that provides 1 - 1.5db / step instead of the .5/db commonly used? I don't mind losing a bit of 'fine tuning' in the remote in order to preserve another bit or so of resolution. I... | |
| Bel Canto and Digital Volume Control All - I think I may have handle on the digital volume thing. Please feel free to provide additional insight and education as required. My speaker amp:90db/w/m Speaker rating + 61db amp gain (1200watt @ 4 ohms) = 151db SPL max (I know that would ki... | |
| "DAC MAGIC "Coax digital cable recommendation I third the Blue Jean cables. Properly impedance matched, well shielded and quality build. The cable used for these is designed for data transmission and at rates that well exceed current audio data requirements. I like to keep mine at least 1.5M ... | |
| Bel Canto and Digital Volume Control Some of the digital controls do; the true digital ones that work in the digital domain exclusively. That is the type I intended to refer to. Wadia has a nice white paper with some explanation.http://www.wadia.com/technology/technicalpapers/Digital... | |
| Krell KRC-3 vs Adcom GFP-750 vs DAC1 Pre Thanks for the advice. I have some reservations about the KRC-2 as it doesn't seem to have a HT bypass. I suppose I could build a quality A-B XLR switch or use the record monitor function as a makeshift solution. | |
| Praise for DacMagic I truely have come to grow fond of the Dacmagic. I previously was using a highly regarded SACD player that was several years old and I find the the Dacmagic to be a very notiable improvement with CD's. It is like moving from mid-hall to a front ro... | |
| XA9000ES or Better Quality for a Streaming richlaneI have an adcom gfp-750 I use in passive mode for my preamp. Do you feel the DAC1 pre section is as good or would you recommend still using the adcom? | |
| XA9000ES or Better Quality for a Streaming Myself I guess - sorry I had two things open and responded to the incorrect post. | |
| XA9000ES or Better Quality for a Streaming Appologies -My source was/is CD's ripped to a lossless format. I may be adding some 24/96 downloads. Currently a logitech Harmony is the source for the stream but the DAC's are not all that great thus my desire to upgrade. I'm open to other ideas ... |
