| Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences I tried the M700s and the Stellar Dac/Pre. The dac/pre was dry, did not throw a good sound stage. IMHO, it needs a outboard PS, which PSA often does. I questioned Paul about the lack of it, but of course, he held the party line. I found the M700s ... | |
| Most organic / real / analogue sounding DAC (ideally with Volume Control) for $1500?????? There’s a few Audio Alchemy DDP-1s available < $1500. It combines a pre with a dac and a headphone jack. You want one with the optional PS 5 outboard PS though. See TAS March 2016 review. They loved it | |

| Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences Underwood HiFi's Voyager GaN amp $3K/200wpc should be shipping soon. They seem to have a trade in policy to boot!Markmuse: I quite liked the M700s, but in my 20 x 40 x 12ft peak, even though my speakers at the time were 93dB (but the woofers were ... | |
| Does anyone have a Sony DVP-S9000ES that reads the SACE layer I saw a 99 FS on USAudioMart asking $400If you get a 105, upgrade the PS and the IEC (ebay). Once you've done that, leave the cover offhth | |

| Preamp under $2,000. Look for a Audio Alchemy DDP-1 (DAC/Pre) with PS 5 outboard power supply for the Rotel price. No comparison | |
| Best amp options between $2k-$4 to power Magnepan 1.7? There's a EVS1200 near Asheville. Highly tweaked amp for only $1600. I own one and it is amazing. I seriously doubt you can find another amp anywhere near its price that can outperform it. See Audio Asylum Ads | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? +1 boa Eva M for the win. I fell in love with her in Hitch. I actually had a Jamaican American girlfriend who looked a lot like her My room is 20 x 40 x 12ft peak in vaulted ceiling. It takes some umph to load the room with a good spl. The PS Audi... | |

| IcePower1200AS: Who has heard or has them, with what system components? Do you love them? tleHave you heard the EVS1200? It’s not in the same league as the Mivera, which is nothing more than a module in a box. Underwood HiFi as been promoting their Gan called Voyager for over a year, but it’s still not available. MSRP is now $3500, mea... | |
