| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load I am so pleased that others with, apparently, endless patience and REAL knowledge, have taken the time to contribute positively to this thread.For me, it doesn’t matter that some of the posts have been made by suppliers / manufacturers. What matte... | |
| NAD C 658 DAC Well, I post with just a little trepidation! The demo went ahead but the outcome was close to being as unexpected as could be imagined in hi-fi terms.In short, I didn’t get the NAD C 658. The search for a new amp setup was because I *thought* ther... | |
| NAD C 658 DAC @geeqner Just to confirm that the basic version of Dirac is free. On another forum, most posters are happy with the difference it makes but a few have shelled out for the paid-for version and are also happy. I've not checked the details but I'v... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Wow George. What a shame. | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load George, I appreciate that you responded with a more constructive post. I’m not going to get further involved as, for me, hi-fi is about the music more than the equipment although the latter isn’t without interest. I also don’t pretend to have the ... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Now your twisting things by saying "useless". Of course it will "work" and he will say so, but will it get the very best out of the speakers?, DEFINITELY NOT! especially in the bass where they are a pig of a load. George, once again you post with ... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load A few minutes ago (14:00ish hrs GMT), I spoke with Colin at Nord Acoustics primarily with my own system in mind.However, I remembered this thread and mentioned it to him. Colin is positive that even Nord's entry level "MP" amps will, in almost all... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Nord Acoustics base most of their amps on Hypex and are entirely happy to state those amps will be able to drive speakers at 2ohms. Independent testing has pros and cons and, having perused several hi-fi forums for some years, I've long since con... | |
| NAD C 658 DAC Despite the array of glitches involving the NAD C 658, I’m heading ever closer to bagging one. My search has resumed (it had stopped due to personal circs) and, as at now, only the C 658 remains on my list. Demo will be done within the next few we... | |
| Interconnects under 300 Don’t know about night and day difference but I’ve replaced some Morrow MA4s pre 2018 design (with KLE Pure Harmony RCA plugs) with, firstly, Atlas Equator OCC Integras and, more recently, Mark Grant Cables HDX1.The Atlas pair were less than half ... | |
| Vincent Audio SV-500 Arriving Today @jay73 I have a Rotel RA-1572 and this may or may not be of interest.If you listen to rock music, be aware that busy and/or dense passages of music don't work so well with the RA-1572. When the music gets busier / denser, the bottom end all but ... | |
| Streaming vs. CD Depends on the source on the server. If the streamed content is of higher resolution than CD "red book" standard, then the quality will be "better".As any number of threads in these forums about the pros or cons of high resolution will testify, w... | |
| I've never believed much in cables, that said... (USB) I’m another who thought cables couldn’t possibly make a difference. That was until my first entry-level separates system way back in 1998. To this day, I still metaphorically scratch my head with the question "How is this possible?"Having briefly ... | |
| NAD C 658 DAC @jnehma1 : Hmmm! I knew the NAD M10 was an integrated amp but, for some reason, had completely confused the price point. You are obviously right about the price being well within budget as a standalone unit. However, the M10 doesn't have enoug... | |
| NAD C 658 DAC For info, NAD's MDC HDM-2 is already available - 3 ports in and 1 out.Hadn't thought about the DAC myself - time to make some enquiries and find out more! |
