| To DAC or not to DAC The DACMagic was improved by the new power supply but since I've never heard an XDA-1 I really can't say if it would do anything for you, other than make you more like me and nobody needs that! I do think Emotiva is a pretty hip company...and the ... | |
| W4S or Rega Dac - Opinions Wanted I compared my DACMagic with an upgraded power supply to a friends W4S DAC2...the W4S was so analytical that it commented on my choice of socks. Weird. Actually, we liked both of 'em in our little comparison and that made me feel better, and after ... | |
| NEW CA DACMagic+ This forum printed my post twice in 2 modified versions implying that I'm far more adamant about these issues than I am. I know there are more expensive DACs out there that people enjoy immensely, but I don't care as I live in my sheltered safe li... | |
| NEW CA DACMagic+ If you buy a "plus", get the Pangea P100 power supply also (once it's available...they need a proper size P100 cable as the one supplied for the DACMagic won't fit the "plus"). These power supplies ROCK ASS (is that a sophisticated technical descr... | |
| NEW CA DACMagic+ If you buy it, get the Pangea P100 power supply also (once it's available...they need a proper size P100 cable as the one supplied for the DACMagic won't fit the "plus"). I imagine it will be offered (from Audio Advisor) as a package deal although... | |
| What makes a speaker too big for a given room? Manufacturers should not only know the dimensions of your listening room, but about the furniture, carpet, drapery, exactly where you plan to put the speakers, and should also conduct a lengthy interview (perhaps in the listening room over at leas... | |
| Hank Moody's system I did notice some gear in an earlier season, but was somehow distracted... | |
| W4S or Rega Dac - Opinions Wanted The DACMagic with the P100 PS is a somewhat changed animal...much improved. | |
| Cambridge 640P Power Supply Upgrade Woodrow...you're correct in that the P100 has both ac and dc output based on what cable is used. See? I learned something! | |
| W4S or Rega Dac - Opinions Wanted DACmagic "plus" with a Pangea P100 power supply. I use the stock DACMagic/P100 combo as I don't use the usb, but the "plus" has an asynchronous usb system, and the P100 cable should be available for it soon (if not already). | |
| To DAC or not to DAC Try this...a DACMagic with the $99 Pangea P100 power supply. I've been a fan of the DACMagic for a while using the balanced outs and high quality cable all around (a key factor in my experience)...even after schlepping it to a friend's house to co... | |
| B&W 805D2 or Magico Q1? We need to factor in the resistance to termites and other wood boring insects (and warping) when considering new Magicos...I think they'd make great outdoor speakers to put by the pool. Now if only Magico would make a speaker that looked like a ro... | |
| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? Like most of the bozos on this bus, I get bored and sell things eventually...while they still work...clearly a large part of the fun of this hobby along with discovering new stuff. I'm sort of looking forward to my Forte' seeming to need sonic imp... | |
| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? In the manual for a Pass Labs amp, Pass says in the most common sense no bullcrap manner something to the effect that it will take a LONG time for caps to fry, and the caps let you know when they're dying so you'll have plenty of time to get 'em f... | |
| Dual volume control - it should be standard I now sit perfectly still so as not to distort the soundstage. In fact, I've found that if I sit on spikes directly from my butt into a hard wooden chair, although extremely painful, helps curb the resonance my body creates from my heartbeat, brea... |
