| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @paulietunes I went from Pass Labs XA30.8 to Coda S5.5. I too have a tube preamp and I am running RCA ICs from my pre to Coda. It’s sounds marvelous (pre prefers RCA). Loved Pass but Coda is slightly more refined at the top end. You have wonderf... | |
| Merason DACs @zlone thanks for the link! That’s quite the comprehensive review/thoughts. From my read he preferred the Merason DAC mk2 in the end, correct? Sorry, just spent reading the entire thread for 30 mins and now I’m confused with what Mitch preferr... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Soulution 525 and Coda...now that should be an interesting combo! | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Just wanted to report that I tried out Stack Audio AUVA EQs under my Grange pre. It made a good improvement and they will not be going back after the trial period. Previously I had the IsoAcoustics Orea footers. Clarity, BASS, resolution, dynamics... | |
| Tube Pre-amp Suggestions. I use Supratek preamp with my Coda S5.5. It is a most amazing match! A match made in heaven as they say :) | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @nymarty thanks for the tip regarding the remote again. Received mine in Silver two button. Such a better option compared to the remote supplied by Mick. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @charliee not sure but Aliexpress? Someone told me about a metal remote for my Supratek Preamp. Love the preamp but the stock remote is like what you find in a dollar store which is a shame. I might get a $30 remote from Aliexpress | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Intrigued by the new Spatial Audio Raven preamp. I am sure it's great. @charliee I agree on the finishes..great if they can offer more. Also, the volume control knob..maybe make it a bit more pleasing, aesthetics point of view..just my opinion. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @doni Pass XA25 runs very hot. I had the XA30.8 and it run hotter than Coda S5.5. I had the First Watt J2 and it ran hotter than XA30.8 in my setup (FW J2 is amazing with the right speaker). Coda done some special things with the heat sinks. It ... | |
| Vacuum Tube Preamp for Solid State Power Amp Pairing @vthokie83 my Grange has adj gain. Paired with my Coda S5.5 it is a splendid combo! | |
| LAIV Harmony I emailed Weng at Laiv. What a straight shooter he is..instead of convincing me that the new DDC is the bomb and I should immediately put my money down on it, he told me that using my Innuos Pulse with a Silent Angel Bonn 8 switch into the Harmony... | |
| LAIV Harmony @soix @dz13 thank you! | |
| LAIV Harmony Anyone pre order the Laiv DDC? I have Harmony DAC fed by Innuos Pulse and I do use a Silent Angel Bonn switch and good quality digital cables. Question is do I need a DDC? What is a DDC? | |
