| Hegel H390 DAC @audphile1 Thanks for your Kimber suggestion. The Hegel's DAC loop requires two digital bnc cables and one XLR. I must use XLR for it to work. | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @jjss49 Yes, sir -- only CDs for me! Thanks for your generosity in taking the time to look into the Aqua's topology, for the tips on cabling and last but not least, your kind offer re: cable loan. (FYI, the DAC Loop requires two bnc cables and... | |
| Was 1971 the high point of popular music? For some, no doubt. I can't pick one year between say, '67 and '77... | |
| Hegel H390 DAC Before checking out other dacs, I’m going to try the Aqua inserted into the Hegel’s dac loop. My hope is that the Hegel’s clocking and anti- jitter capacities will ensure the smoothness I’m currently enjoying with its onboard dac will remain but a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 "Not just technical facility but also the brain connection with the arm muscles so to speak, developing that facility to the point where the subconscious mind can take over the basic mechanical task of playing, thus freeing the consci... | |
| Black Pumas On Tour Now They are wonderful but I don’t care for the way they’ve recently "updated" their sound, presumable to be more commercially appealing. Even if I could afford to see them live, I wouldn't, at this point. When I want a shot of what they do so well,... | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @mm1tt77 Yes, the same thing ocurred to me (noise). I tried A PSA power regenerator/conditioner in the past and noticed no effect but it’s possible the power is dirtier, now. And the PS Audio is a dac I’d like to try. Thanks for you comments. ... | |
| Hegel H390 DAC Hi @soix Thanks for the suggestions. I neglected to mention in my OP that I was hoping to go with something US or Euro made and furthermore, one that I can return if necessary. My speakers are US made. My Jay’s and Hegel are both made in China ... | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @jjss49 I was hoping you’d post here. Thanks. I used digital bnc from Jay’s cdt2mklll to Aqua and rca"s from Aqua to Hegel. I used same bnc from Jay’s directly into Hegel. Sorry, but are you suggesting using DAC loop would equate to "equal fo... | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @curiousjim Re: Anders, that's disappointing to hear. Out of curiosity, did you ever get an answer to the bias question? What DACs did you consider before choosing the Pontus and what do you like about the Pontus, especially? | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @curiousjim Anders, the marketing guy for Hegel has asserted the H590 and 390 have the same DAC module but that the H590 has better isolation. RE: H600, all I’ve seen/heard so far is this Jay’s Iyagi review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk1... | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! @garebear Maybe go to taper's section on Dead website and ask whether there are still great shows that have yet to be released? I sure wish they'd released the entire May 77 show that's on Dick's Picks 3, instead of a chopped-up, truncated ver... | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! @garebear I didn't realize that. Thanks! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Thanks for taking the time to go into this topic in more depth. What you say makes sense. As a guitar player, I understand the significance of modes. Perhaps Fusion is itself too broad a term because as time went on, the genre changed... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Each post of frogman is like a small jazz masterclass Yes, indeed! |
