| ARC amp differences. Sonas Faber ++ Sure they need tubes? | |
| anyone else getting phishing popups ? I run Malwarebytes, uBlockOrigin and go though DuckDuck using Brave so I don't get many. | |
| Significant steps? (DAC) Good point on separates. For my last round of upgrades, I considered going to a better integrated amp. Looked at SIM, Hegel, Atoll, Audiolab, Rega, Exposure, etc. I thought the internal DACs were no improvement to my JDS. ( took it with me to A/... | |
| New Schiit, phono maybe big Agree, but just noticed it as there seems to be a gap between $69 amps and "real" ones. Not everyone can jump to a JC-3 or Roland. Matching the input impedance is bigger difference than a lot of the amps. I wonder as I have seen setups with a v... | |
| Anthem ARC - Well, it's not that great. Maybe not super, but better than the Audyssey competition. I have been running an MXR310 with updated software quite happily as HT in two houses now in 5.1 Could also be that Anthem amplifier sections are better than most in the price range. I ... | |
| Significant steps? (DAC) Problem is getting them to listen to. I can borrow a Qutest, but that is about it. Having a background in engineering and manufacturing, I know there is a limit where you exceed marginal improvements and transition into magic. There is just no... | |
| John Strohbeen from Ohm Acoustics passed away Sad, but as time passes, more and more of us leave. I hope it was peaceful. Is Marty still there? | |
| Significant steps? (DAC) Of the Topping, JDS, Schiit and a Sabaj I tried, there were differences. Tiny and not very significant. Without A/B, I would say none. Only in direct swapping. I consider these to be well executed in their class. Agree, not all are. Several others... | |
| Significant steps? (DAC) I am going to get a loner Mojo. What I don't know is when the power adapter is got AC applied, does the dac power up, or do you have to hit the ball? Same for a Qutest. Dave is irrelevant for a retired Civil Servant on SS. Same question on th... | |
| Significant steps? (DAC) Found the manual. powers into standby. Useless | |
| Significant steps? (DAC) does the r26 come on or into standby when power is applied? | |
| Significant steps? (DAC) There are significant steps, giant steps, and steps into fancy cases and ego bragging rights. Giant may be more than I am willing to do. There is a point somewhere in the giant range where there is not actually any improvement to be made regardle... | |
| Need advice on media player and or dacs Least people forget, a streamer is a PC you have less configuration control over. | |
| Audio grade version of this cord? (Polarized NEMA 1-15P to Polarized IEC 60320 C7) You already have one almost. If you want to reduce EMI and RFI pick up because what it is plugged into does not have a properly designed power supply and you think a band-aid will help some problem you imagine may be out there you can't define, ... | |
| Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound? Recordings are terrible. Speakers are terrible. Rooms are terrible. Electronics are fantastic relative to recording and speakers. Different, but relatively fantastic. Everyone has different sensitivities, preferences, and goals. Such is li... |
