| Cardas or Nordost for Simaudio/Magico Which AZ cables are you using now? | |
| I2S Recommendation Congrats. Be interested to hear what you find. | |
| Do people hate Eversolo on here? Or is it liked some? It’s inexcusable to me that a company has no customer service, and streamers are something where you may well need it at some point. I have an iFi Zen Stream, and although it sounds good I have an issue I can’t resolve and their customer service ... | |
| Speaker choice I’ll third the recommendation for Revival Atalante 5. Well worth a good look. | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport @qbitstate Tthe CD BOX has had significant reliability problems so you might want to look into that further. That said, I remember someone saying they had an issue with the Shanling too that’s probably worth a look as we. . Just FYI. | |
| Exploring class D amplification, NAD C268 with non-NAD preamplifier You’re worrying about gain too much. It’s rarely a problem and as long as the input impedance of the amp is over 10x the output impedance of the preamp you’ll almost always be fine. The big concern is you clearly have an issue with the sound. I... | |
| Weakest Link in my system... Power Supply, DAC, or... Try this Acoustic Zen MC2 digital cable. This is a great price so if it doesn’t work out you can probably turn around and sell it for a $50+ profit. Hurry because it won’t last long. Read the reviews — they’re all extremely positive. https://... | |
| Sonus vs fr5 Sonus Faber identity as most of their stuff have this overly present harmonic content presentation that makes everything sound glossed and it is fatiguing on long listens. That has not been my experience with SF speakers made over the past 10 ... | |
| Speaker choice These Joseph Audio speakers will do everything you’re looking for including throwing off an expansive 3D soundstage and disappear as a sound source, and you wouldn’t need a sub unless you want one as they go down to about 25Hz. The dealer allows ... | |
| Need to get off of bluetooth.... looking for a wifi streamer for my budget I did a little searching and it looks like there is a way to import your Apple playlists into Qobuz: a one month subscription to Soundiiz. I would get a streaming device without a built in DAC and use the DAC in your McIntosh. Then down the roa... | |
| Audio Mirror WAVE DAC k How much does it cost? | |
| My next upgrade I share your concerns with the Maggie’s, and given what you’re looking for and your budget one of the first speakers that jumped to mind for scale and 3D imaging was the new SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacles. At $5k they’re well within your budget, a... | |
| EveAnna has sold her biz I fear many small businesses will suffer the same fate. Almost every day I see small business owners either having to lay people off and/or having to close their doors or are on the brink of doing so. Many of them poured their life savings into ... | |
| Need to get off of bluetooth.... looking for a wifi streamer for my budget If you really care about sound quality it’s time to add either Qobuz or Tidal. Either will have the majority of the music you have on Apple or Pandora anyway. | |
| Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!! Forgot to mention the Usher Dancer Mini X. Beautiful, front ported, well within your budget at $3500 (and this seller offers a 10% discount and a 30-day return policy), and they use the same proprietary in-house designed/manufactured diamond twee... |
