| Best natural, musical DAC under $3K? For redbook, Pass Labs D1, 20bit pcm63k | |
| Pass Labs Amp X350.5 or X350.8 anyone compare? I have compared the XA60.5 to the new 60.8, I would assume the same changes in sound are across the board to varying degrees despite the different series.First off, the amps are quite different looking (although typical Pass labs look), bigger, lo... | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 Yeah, I hear you guys. Unfortunately I have all that stuff. PC with a 1TB drive, 10TB media NAS as a backup, Jriver etc. it all sucks and is a PITA. Thanks for clarifying my JRiver is software, all this time I thought that was my PC. With that bei... | |
| Speaker decision $3000-3500...help A used pair of Clearwave towers or monitors would trounce most others in the same price category. | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 I will say it again, the Marantz requires a computer to run it which presumably will be Jriver or something else. I currently have a tricked out fanless PC with RME soundcard and all the goodies, but honestly dealing with a PC just plain sucks. It... | |
| High end CD player paired with High end processor The Krell 300CD is an astounding transport, it has a TEAC mechanism. one of the best transports I have heard. | |
| PASS - comparison X 350 to XA 60.5 There is zero difference between a new pass amp and an old one. Identical, Any change results in a new model. These posts are misleading. | |
| PASS - comparison X 350 to XA 60.5 JI35,I do not think there are any changes in the amps at all over the years. If there are, can you confirm what they were? I am quite certain there are not any. | |
| PASS - comparison X 350 to XA 60.5 The XA series amps tend to flush out more midrange magic, detail, layering and texture. To the point of being incredibly organic. The X series have lower and more authoritative bottom end, but you would only know it from doing an immediate back to... | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 I am not really understanding the Marantz. It requires storage and a playback device, basically it is just a DAC with some internet radio. Am I missing something? You still need a computer to run the damned thing as it has no GUI. With the Sony it... | |
| DAC For Krell KAV300CD Player If you want to sell your player I may be interested. That player is best a transport and not the DAC. With that being said adding a DAC would be stellar. You pick the DAC. | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 This might be the unit I was waiting for. PC audio is great and all, but fooling with computers sucks big time. I would be interested in a no holds barred version of this unit. | |
| Best Speakers You Have Ever Heard In Your Home Clearwave Symphonia 72R | |
| Pass X350.5 or Krell 302e? Thanks for a great post. I am surprised to hear the Pass had more bass slam. Anyhow, thank you. | |
| Speaker cable suggestion for Pass Labs XA30.5 I have had the heimdall and the TYRs, the Morrow Audios blow both away. I also have the XA30.5, give them a try. |
