| Which one box Headphone AMP/DAC combo? Centrance has a nice 10W Class A headphone amp built into the DACmini. | |
| Amarra EQ users please help me....... The Sonic Studio website has a user manual which has information about the EQ. I'm thrilled to own Amarra. I've created a default setting which works for most of my music, but there are times when I like adjusting for fun or to perfect the sound.B... | |
| Building a Magnepan System, Please Help... Try finding a used Centrance DACmini, which has a nice 10W Class A amp built in for your Hifiman HE-400. Should be able to pick one up for less than $500 used.I also second Jult52 that you'll be surprised at how nice the 1.7 sound. | |
| Building a Magnepan System, Please Help... Find a used McCormack amp, preferrably a DNA-1 modified by Steve. If you don't start with the right amp, it doesn't matter what else you have in your system. After that, find a pre-amp with little or no color such as a passive pre from Lightspeed.... | |

Definitely can say it gives the perception of conveying every bit of power and nuance from the amp to speaker, whether playing soft or loud. Such a... | |
| LDR Active Preamp - does it exist? Thank you George, you nailed it. That's exactly how I would describe the difference between having the Burson before LDA or after, except I couldn't describe it well as you.BTW, I purchased an empty Burson case to house the LDA and they look great... | |
| LDR Active Preamp - does it exist? Source-->Burson-->Lightspeed --> AmpTried both ways and settled on the above config being slightly better. | |
| LDR Active Preamp - does it exist? +1 for Burson with LDA. A great match, been happy with this combo. Also, the people at Burson are friendly and accommodating. | |
| Downloaded 3000 CD's To External Hard Drive I have to agree with Larryi; plan on MONTHS if you properly rip them and edit. It took me 6 months to rip 500 albums, granted it took me a bit longer because I was also up-sampling each song to 24/96 with Triumph's iZotope program. Nevertheless, n... | |
